1ST DRAFT CALL MAY BE SMALL

1-Year Yolueont Trying To End

Uncertainty, To Cut Total.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (U. PJ). —Selective servic officials expected today that voluntary enlistments after Registration Day would make it unnecessary to| draft many men for the first contingent of 400,000 conscripts.

On the basis of inquiries at head-

quarters here by men seeking to volunteer, officials| believed that the entire 400,000 might be raised by that method before the end of the year. Most inquirers = surprised to learn that although the Army is accepting regulary enlistments, they cannot volunteer immediately for training under the one-year conscription plan. Unemployed youths, young doctors and lawyers about to begin private practice, and about to embark on business careers after completing school predominate among those jesking to enlist, preferring to enist now than, risk interruption of their careers later. On the basis of rough estimates. 62 conscripts will be required of each local board to make up the first 400,000 men. Officials believe it possible that at least 62 of the 800 in Class I in each board area would find it to their convenience to volunteer., President Roosevel 2 resolution appropri 000 to provide ade facilities for consecri propriation includes buying land.

Mr. Willkie recalled that in April, 1937, after a business pickup, President Roosevelt issued a public statement declaring the price of commodities was too high. Ccpper then was selling for 17 cents a pound, but immediately dropped, Mr. Willkie said. “I am advised that the union contracts with Anaconda Copper, Co.

above 9 cents, and when the price fell from 17 to 10 cents, it resulted in a wage reduction for every man employed by the company,” he declared. Mr. Roosevelt's statement on the price of commodities “affected democracies throughout the world, and thus strengthened Hitler,” he added. “It disturbed the domestic economy of Montana and reduced the wages of cvery miner in the state. I don’t believe in that kind of economy.” Mr. Willkie has pledged the common people of the Pacific Northwest ‘to do everything for them that President Roosevelt has done, to complete their giant dams for power, irrigation and reclamation, to preserve the National Labor Relations Act, the Wage Hour Act and every gain in social legislation of all kinds. At Spokane, and ih the hamlets among the mountains to the eastward in Idaho and Montana, he finally brought the issue down to a personal comparison of himself, a

man born in a factory town, edu-|

cated at’ a Midwestern college, a

fellow who had worked with his]

hands, with Franklin D. Roosevelt, a son of wealth with every advantage. “The only uit that he, has made up to date for his re-elec-tion,” he said of the President, “is that he is a common man and Wendell Willkie is the representative of the aristocracy.” Ironically, he added: “Well, I never knew that until this campaign started. Because of the fact that I was in business, therefore, presumably, I am antagonistic to labor. Well, with all due respect, and with great respect, I have labored; I have labored with my hands in steel mills, in factories, on the farm and on the range, and I think I understand ' completely . the aspirations of labor.” !

PASTOR ADVISES

Clergyman Urges U. S. Send |

Aid to Britain; Guard Against Dictators.

It’s time for America to end its “hypocritical nonbelligerency,” the Rev. William C. Kernan, Episcopal clergyman of Newark, N. J, declared at a meeting last night at Shortridge High School.

The Rev. Mr, Kernan, who spoke |

under the auspices of the Indiana Committee for National Defense, urged the United States to look to its physical defenses and to be on its guard against totalitarianism. He advocated all material aid to England short of war, a policy of “no appeasement of any dictator gnd not permitting Japan to “take another inch of territory in the South Pacific.” Urges Full Aid to England The Rev. Mr. Kernan, in urging the fullest aid to England, declared England now is fighting “the war we. must fight if England loses.” This country, he said, has no right to sit idly by and watch the totalitarian governments destroy their neighbors. J The speaker, who is chairman of the refugee committee of the Newark , Episcopal diocese, denounced all forms of intolerance, citing such orgahizations as the Christian Mobilizers, the Christian

of the White Camelias. These and similar groups hostile to cur democratic form of government, he said, merely are laying the groundwork for more intensive efforts to nazify the U. S. if Germany ultimately is victorious. Terms Tolerance Fundamental “The fundamental principles of American democracy,” he said, Hare] tolerance and realization that every man is born with certain rights which we all recognize. All forms

intolerance and dehumanization of man.” Totalitarianism, he added, doesn’t stop with the group in which it begins its persectition, and cited Russia and Germany as. examples of governments which began wi\ll persecution of a race or class and wound up with oppression for all, Urging the umtost support of the national defense program, the Rev. Mr. Kernan said “democracy is’ strong enough in the United States to defend itself without deSiroying dtsel# on | itseif or our liberties.”

movements. And all three probably are just a bit distant to attract him. But it is understood -that the President is likely to appear again in Pennsylvania before A election day, probably visit Wright Field at Dayton, O., and have a look at industrial defense developments in the Pittsburgh area. A quick trip to Baltimore, Md, where Glenn Martin manufactures aireraft and the Bethlehem Steel Corp. operates: one of its great plants, also is a possibility, There are tentative plans for the President to speak in New York City, but more likely in the latter part of October than on Oct. 8 when he is expected by Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia {fo dedicate an under-river tunnel. The swing into Ohio, possibly Pennsylvania turnpike and an inspection of Pittsburgh national defense progress, is expected during the first fortnight of October. Mr. Roosevelt has been invited to dedicate a Cincinnati radio station which will short wave programs to South America, But he indicated to his press conference yesterday fas that would be just a little too ar. Most “of Ohio, North Carolina, New York and New. England lie well within the travel area and all of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New JerWest Virginia and Virginia would be available for planners of national defense inspection journeys.

Milk Price Based on Chicano Butter Cost Urged to Clarify Marion County Situation

“Is Hitler going to be allowed to control ‘the prices which -the Indianapolis dairyman gets for his milk?” Or “is the local dairyman going to be given an opportunity to get prices for his milk which are in keeping with the fluctuating economic trends—which will be fair to both farmers and distributors and will benefit both in the long run?” These were the questions voiced by representatives of the 5000 dairymen in the Indianapolis area today on a proposal to substitute a fluctuating milk price system based on the Chicago butter market for the present fixed price system. The suggestion was placed before the State Milk Control Board yesterday in a public hearing at the State House. The proposal was made by Dr. R. W. Bartlett, professor of agricultural economics of the University of Illinois, who studied the Indianapolis milk situation at the request of a marketing committee of the Marion County Milk Committee.

How Plan Would Work

Dr. Bartlett said the fluctuating price system, used ‘successfully” for the past year in Chicago, would give a fair price to the farmer and eliminate conflicts between farmers and dealers. Under the plan, the price which would be paid the farmer for each 100 pounds of milk would be fixed by multiplying the average daily quotation of butter on- the Chicago market by 5.29 to get it even with the price of condensed milk manufacturers pay farmers. (It has been found through long study that the condensory price of milk per hurn-dred-weight is 5.29 times as great as that of a pound of butter.) - Then to this figure would be added a premium of 80 cents per hundred-weight on milk sold from July to November; 65 cents from December through April, cents in May and June. The premiums would compensate the farm-

er for extra equipment and feed :

needed for high grade milk.

Terms Plan ‘Equitable’ Basing milk prices on the butter market is “most equitable,” Dr. Bartlett said, s®.ace it has long been known that butter prices, which are based on the world market, accurately reflect economic trends. When consumer income goes up, butter prices go up, when consumer income goes down, butter prices go down, he said. D. E. Long, of the Independent Milk Producers Association of Indianapolis, which represents 2000 milk dealers in this area, charged the system would put both producers and distributors on & gambling basis. : “As it is now,” he sald, “milk prices here are not so much atfected by the world situation. Under the flexible price scneme, Hitler would, so to speak, control milk prices here.” Farmers in the Indianapolis area are now getting $2.18 per 100 pounds for their milk. Under Dr. Bartlett's plan they would now be getting $2.20 per hundred-weight.

Mr. Long asserted that while this |

was true now, it would not prove that profitable over a period of time. Proponents of Dr. Bartlett's plan argued - that it “would be asking calamity” to fix a price wall for milk here which would have no regard for world price trends. While the proposed plan is of ut-

most importance to farmers and distributors it is expected to have no great effect-on the price of milk for consumers. As there are 46'z quarts to each 100 pounds, the price would have to go up or down at least 40 cents per 100 pounds to change the price of a quart of milk 1 cent. The flexible price plan was offered as an amendment to the fixed price plan provision of the recently promulgated milk marketing order for Marion County. ®This order nbw is suspended by a court restrainer
