men it needs for defense by then. The poll was disclosed as the House prepared to vote on the Sen-ate-approved bill that wownlad authorize President Roosevelt to mobilize 360,000 National Guards and Reservists for training. Its passage was believed assured, but only after a hard fight over restrictive amendments.

An Administration spokesman

said that the “draft delay” amenq- |

ment, sponsored by Senator Francis T. Maloney (D. Conn), would be approved if voted on immediately.

Vote te Be Close, Minton Says

Assistant Democratic Leager Sherman Minton (OD. Ind), who opposes delaying conscription, predicted the vote would be “very close.” An Administration leader, who ree fused to allow his name to be used, said that the balance of power is with four Senators, all of whom oppose conscription in principle. They are Senators George W. Norris (Ind. Ned), Hemry Shipstead (F.-L. Minn), Robert M. La Follette (P. Wis) and Ernest Lundeen (F.L. Minn). Proponents of the draft were said to be concentrating on persuading this group against the Maloney amendment Mr. Maloney and his supporters contend that the Army has not yet given a fair trial to volunteer enlistments. With the enlistment period shortened to one year, and the basic pay of enlisted men increased from $21 to $30 a month,
