19-YEAR-OLDS

House Adamant Against Taking Younger Boys.

WASHINGTON, June 18 (U, PJ). —Comptomise efforts of the teenage draft indicated today boys of 10 will be subject to call even

dthough 18-year-olds are exempted.

Chairman Elbert D. Thomas (D. Utah) of the senate-house conference on draft legislation, sald the question of 18-year-olds is the only remaining controversy. Representatives of the house, which twice. voted against any teen-age draft this year, seemed willing to yield on 19-year-olds but was adamant against taking boys any younger, The conferees recessed until Thursday to see whether the senate will accept a floor of 10 as a compromise, Agree on 3 Points Before the recess the conferees

agreed fo: ONE: Extend the draft law from its present July 1 expiration date to March 31, 1047. It was a compromise between the Feb. 15 date set by the house and the May 18 date approved by the senate. TWO: Accept the house-approved scale of wage increases designed to encourage volunteering and reduce the need for drafting. The house plan would give raises ranging from a 850 per cent hike for

buck privates—from $50 to $75 a

month—to 10 per cent for the highest ranking officers, The senate plan would limit the raises to enlisted personnel. It all was contingent, however,

upon final agreement on the teen-

age question.
