. Rep. Short to Lead Group In an Attempt to Prevent
Induction of Teen-Agers.
By SANDOR S. KLEIN United Press Staff Correspondent ‘ WASHINGTON, June 21.—Zero hour appears at hand again for the nation’s 19-year-olds, Congress today had before it a compromise nine-month draft-ex-tension measure authorizing compulsory military service for those youths, ‘ The bill, drafted’ in a senate- _ house conference after both bodies disagreed on how the draft law should operate after July 1, would make all childless men from 19 . through 44 liable to induction. ~The measure would not bar the 19-year-olds from service overseas. . Though all but one of the conferees expected quick senate approval of the compromise, a hot . fight was promised in the house. Rep. Dewey Short (R. Mo.) —lone . hold-out of the senate-house conferees against drafting teen-aged youth—promised to lead the battle , to kill the proposed induction of 19-year-olds when the conference agreement is presented Tuesday for house approval, Compromise Pay Increases The measure came out of the conference providing for compromise pay increases of from 10 to . 50 per cent for members of the armed forces, House Democratic Whip John . Sparkman (Ala.) one of the conferees for the house, called the com- © promise a “manpower gamble.”
legislation could be werked out. Here are the main features of the agreement: . ONE: Extension of the draft law from July 1 through March 31, 1947, TWO: Service liability age range of 19 through 44 without the pro-
posed category system which would | {grocers and butchers. (they've. been - fighting their supTHREE: A ban on the draft of |

induction’ of anyone who served abi... ce most of the housewives in
Jeast six months in the United States or as little as one day overseas, except for trainees—such as student doctors and dentists— whose domestic service actually consisted of going to college.
SIX: Elimination of specific types,
of industrial deferments but permitting draft boards to determine who should be deferred as essential
workers. Farm deferments would be continued. SEVEN: A maximum “hitch” of
18 months for draftees. The pay boosts voted by the conferees were intended to !‘sweeten” military service for 17 and 18-year-olds the youths which the army wants to attract. Largest percentage increases were |

voluntary enlistments by 17- or 18- - - year-old boys. +. The house in the past vigorously opposed the drafting of any teen-
agers. Rep, Short is counting on|
this sentiment, which cuts across party lines, in his effort to block | the 19-year-old provision. One of the most effective orators | in the house, he made it clear he . intended to engage in a knockdown, drag-out-fight. He expressed
his contempt for the compromise by |
refusing to sign the conference agreement, The present draft law is a stopgap measure keeping selective serv-

Favor Regular Customers Anyway, limiting meat
most corner grocers are sales almost exclusively to their regular customers. The regular shoppers have meat saved back tor them and outsiders don't stand a chance, so there's no reason to form lines, | With chain stores, however, the | situation differs. There were almost 150 persons lined up in front of Kroger's Broad Ripple branch | when it opened at 9 a. m. today. Toa person they rushed to the meat | counter and took numbers to wait | { their turn. From the meat counter they | fushed the soap, bread, and dairy divisions, then branched off over
| the store seeking other scarcities. | |
Try to Spread Supply | Many branch chain stores were | putting meat and scarce items in! the counter at undisclosed times during the day, to spread out sup-| plies for various shopping hours. One chain group also has changed the telephone numbers of all of their six branch stores, switching them to unlisted numbers. The
stores had been forced to keep one clerk at the phone continually, answering calls’ from people who b wanted meat, butter, bread or other scarce items saved back, or who wanted to know the times various commodities would be put on the counter. Wait at Packing House The unlisted telephone number switch also has been resorted to by . various “independent stores, which were flooded with calls. Some meat seekers today were visiting the town's small slaughter houses, in an attempt to get meat directly from the packers. Two shoppers who visited a South side packing house at 8 a. m. Thursday had to wait in line until 4 p.m. to buy. chuck roasts.
