Of the draft law and the sepa
rate doctor draft act without
major changes"
Senator Russell called his
committee into closed session for
indicated speedy action which
would clear the two bills for Sen
ate action later this. week.
He rejected a Pentagon request
to tack the Eisenhower admins
tration's new reserve program
which is begged down in the
House, onto the draft measure
Any unexpected Senate effort to
do this appeared doomed.
Senator Case. Republican of
South Dakota said in an inter-
view he may seek one change in
the regular draft act. Young
men 18 to 26 are liable in the
draft, but their obligation for
induction now extends until they
are IS years old unless they are
exempted or disqualified or have
completed required active serv-
ice.
Senator Case wants to cut off
this obligation period at 81. say
ing that few men above that age
have been drafted and that ex-
perience with over-age draftees
has been poor.
Pentagon officials urge reten-
ton of the 35-year limit. ex-
planning that . lower age might
encourage more draft-eligibles
to seek deferments until they
escape.

So the young men left, and

q small store for sale In Chel-

1t. That was In 1873.
IT was not long before there
started the expansion that be-
came a characteristic or the
company. The first store was
succeeded BY another and larger
one, and the woodward ~ L0th-
rop firIn name went up. There
were six clerks. The store opened
at am. and closing time was
from 8 to 1880 pm. Every other
night, q clerk got on at . pm.
but on Saturday all stayed late.
The ideas and ambitions Of the
two partners expanded faster
than the town OF Chelsea, how
ever. They decided to look for
new fields. and the move 10
Washington was the outcome.
The store at 705 Market space
was a small one--15 feet wide.
Later on the clerks recalled that
q tan man had difflculty getting
around the FIRST door without

the store advertised In The star
so days of removal sales, with
sheets. 2la yards long, SIS cents
each or $3.50 D dozen, and pill
low cases, q yard long, 20 cents
each or 50 q dozen.
Sometime In the 1880s. ac-
cording to tradition, the store
signed with The Star the first
contract calling for daily changes
IN advertising copy. Before that
II had been the practice OF
many concerns to let their ad-
vertising stand unchanged for
days. The change meant greater
interest for the reader, better
merchandising for the store.
Came the grand opening Of
the store on d Saturday, and at
night al the gas lights were
aglearn. The crush was sO great
that. according to another tra-
dition. many Of the feminine
shoppers lost their bustles which
were recovered later from under
counters.
This store had two elevators.
and the porter's Windlass had
been replaced by mechanical
devices TO operate them.
It was not long before expan-
sion was under way again. Sey-'
eral adjoining buildings on r
street were taken over as were
3 six-story building on Tenth
street and two buildings north
Of the Carlisle Building on Elev-
enth street.
