animal but can be injurious TO
gardens and nesting birds; be-
comes very tame; they hibernate
in some sections. Generally range
over an area of a or acres;
likes cultivated lands, wood lots,
and rocks.
MANIAC EMENT: None; they
seem to thrive and increase with
out help; they become a nuisance
by destroying gardens and such,
when they must be controlled;
however they are bright. pretty,
attractive little animals, and thus
pay back for what little damage
they may do.
VALUE: None, except it is a
pleasure to see the bright little
animals going about their busi-
ness, moving with great rapidity
with their pouches full of roots,
nuts or what have you, to be
stored in den for future use.

Medical Groups
|Hit Extension Of
Doctors Draft

The American Medical Asso'
citation and The American Den
tai Association went before tn,
Senate Armed Services Commit.
tee today to oppose a two-yeal
extension of the special doctor
draft law.
1 The committee is considering
that bill along with a separate
Efour-year extension of the regu-
lar draft law. Both laws expire
July /. The regular draft bill
has passed the House but the
doctor bill awaits action in both
houses.
| AS the draft hearings got un-
der way there had been no deci-
sion by Senate leaders to couple
with those bills the administra-
ltion's sidetracked program for
building up adequate reserve
forces.
Senators Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia, chairman, and Salton-
stal lof Massachusetts,, the rank
ing Republican, agreed at the
Outset that if extensions of the
regular draft is necessary, Con-
gress has an obligation to see
that the men drafted get ade-
IQuate medical and dental care.
Stand Taken by Groups
The doctor organizations took
the position the requirements of
the service can be met through
the regular draft law, under
which men are inducted up to
age 26, or to the age Of 35 if
they were deferred to complete
their education. The special
doctor law permits the drafting
of men up to SO.
Senator Russell agreed that
the doctor draft is discrimina-
tory. At the same time, he said,
any system for sharing the mil
itary burden which is selective
rather than universal is inher-
emily discriminatory.
THE 23-year-old farmer who
is drafted in place of his % con-
'temporaries enrolled in college
undoubtedly feels as keenly on
the subject of discrimination as
do the older special registrants-
the physicians and dentists"
said Senator Russell.
Can't Risk Needed Care
1T would be both cowardly
and unAmerican for the Con-
gress to take even the slightest
degree Of risk in this matter of
assuring good medical and den--
tai care for these whom we draft

US ALL"
The National Medical Veter-
ans Society testified, however,
in favor of extending the present
doctor draft law. Their state
Iment pointed out that use of
the regular draft law alone
would mean that all of the young
men who are doctors would have
to be drafted during the next
two years if there was no pro-
vision for drafting older men.
Senator Russell was critical
of the administration for recon-
Imending extension of the draft
for only four years if civilian
and military leaders are correct

BY ]. A. OLEARY

Senate leaders of both parties
were working together today te
try to meet President Eisen-
hower's plea for an adequate
military manpower reserve pro-
gram at this session.
But. as the Senate Armed
Services Committee began public
hearings this morning on the
separate issue of extending the
draft law. there was still nc
definite plan for early action on
the reserve issue.
The anti-segregation amend
ment, which helped sidetrack the
reserve bill just as it was about
to pass the House several weeks
ago, does. not appear to be a
serious obstacle in the Senate.
In appealing for a reserve law
at his press conference yester-
day. President Eisenhower de-
plored the tacking of this or any
other extraneous amendment to
a bill so vital to national Sc
sscurity. He pointed out that this
administration has worked hard
TO solve the segregation issue.
Z Votes Seen Available
Z Senate Republican Leader
), z,Knowland said today there are
fample votes in the Senate. on
both sides of the political aisle.
to prevent an anti-Segregation
amendment from being tied to
the reserve bill.
\ The big problem facing Senate
leaders today seemed to be to
convince the Armed Services
Committee that it should tackle
the reserve bill now.
Z Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia, Armed Services chair
man, announced after the re-
serve ~bill begged down in the
House that he is not in favor
of taking it up in the Senate
again until the House shows a.
willingness to deal with the
problem. He based his stand
on the fact that the Senate
twice in recent years has passed
reserve bills. embodying a form
of universal military training, :,
only to see them stymied in the
other branch.
Outlook Held Improved
The Presidents statement yes
terday against injecting the seq
regation issue, undoubtedly has
improved the chances for a re-
serve bill in the Senate.
But there were indications to-
day the details of the reserve
plan itself may have to be modi-
fled to get it moving in the SEN
ate this late in the session. There
were reliable reports that Sena-

Senators Move to CIorify
Military Reserve Stotus

tor Russell does not like the ides
5 of requiring man who ha.
, served two years active duty tt
. be kept in reserve status fol
. another six years.
The existing draft law con-
templates all draftees remaining
in a reserve status after theil
1.-TWO years of active service. but
there is no machinery for en-
!, forcing the obligation.
i An important feature of the
Administrators reserve plan is
the proposal to let the 17-to-ls
age group volunteer for six
months active duty. after which
ithey would move into a ready re-
serve.
I Tie to Draft Considered
! The quickest way to get the
reserve bill back on the legisla-
tive track would be to wrap il
into a package with the draft law
extension, which must pass oy
June 80. and Senate leaders were
considering this possibility today
! No decision had been reached,
If this is to be done the details
of the reserve amendment would
have to be generally acceptable,
because there would be no time
for a long drawn-out contest be-
tween the two houses to iron out
differences.
The draft extension bill passed
the House in February, and could
be sent directly to Joint con-
ference committee with the
House if the Senate included the
reserve plan in it.
But even if the Senate should
take up the reserve problem as
separate bill, House Republican
Leader Martin said. the House
could then act on the Senate bill
without resurrecting its own bill,
which still has in it the amend
ment of Representative Powell,
Democrat, of New York to pro-
hibit segregation in Southern
national guard or reserve units.
Restricts Overseas Shipments
The tracked bill contains
another amendment the ad-
ministration could not accept. It
would prevent the sending of
any more American troops to
countries where they would be
subject to trial in the local
courts rather than by their own
commanding officers.
The House bill is still in
parliamentary position where it
could be called up again, but
there would be little use in doing
so unless there was general
agreement on dropping the two
controversial amendments.

Both Houses May Act
On I rode Measure Todoy

House Ways and Means Com
mittee and Representative Mills
Of Arkansas, a senior commit
tee Democrat, both prepared
speeches saying they "reluct-
antly" were going along with
the compromise. They OBJ
jected to Senate-written amend
ments aimed at giving added
safeguards to American produc-
ers who fear competition rom
cheaper foreign products.
Representative jenkins, Ohio,
a senior committee Republican
who has advocated greater pro-
lection for United States indus
try, said he'd speak for the
compromise which contains most
Of the Senate restrictions.
Representative Bailey, Demo-
crat of West Virginia, a leader
of protectionist forces, said he's
more satisfied with the colnpro-
mise than with the original bill
but that he's still against it.
'"The Congress did not go far
enough to give relief to a vast
majority of American industry" q"
Mr.. Bailey said.
Two Proposals Singled Out
Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Mills CEN
tered their criticism on Senate
amendments that would:
l. Give the President new
power to impose higher tariffs or
quotas when he finds that i'm
port threatens to impair the
national security"
2. Stiffen the escape clause"
procedure under which an in
dustry can ask the Tariff Com
mission to recommend with
tdrawal or modification of a
trade agreement on grounds the
duty reduction involved has
caused it Substantial" damage.
Mr.. Cooper chided Mr.. Eisen-
hover for having voiced mo OBJ
lection" to these Senate changes.
The Tennesseean said they
"jeopardize the gains" made
under the reciprocal trade pro-
gram first instituted 81 years
ago.
Noting the President retains
final authority on tariff deci-
sions under the new bill, Mr..
Cooper said, "The escape clause
amendment and the national Sc
|curity amendment will open the
door to pressure and abuse
which will be difficult for the
President to police and avoid" +"
He called on Mr.. Eisenhower
through wise and informed ad-
ministration of the trade agree

demonstrate to the world Amer

to be an economic partner in

A compromise bill to give
President Eisenhower new tar
iff-cutting powers was headed
for final congressional action
perhaps today.
House leaders indicated they
anticipated a last round Of
oratory. but not much voting
opposition, when the reciprocal
trade measure reaches the pay
off stage there this afternoon
The Senate was expected tc
follow suit quickly - possibly
sometime late today.
The compromise bill, giving
Mr.. Eisenhower most of what he
sought, would extend the Re-
ciprocal Trade Act for three
years. It would allow him tc
cut tariffs up to Is per cent
5 per cent each year. It also
would let him slice to so pei
cent of value any import duty
now above that rate. Such re-
ductions would be in return fol
like concessions from other ma
tionS.
