PROGRAM WILL GET CHANCE TO PROVE WORTH

Expect New Recruiting Drives to Aid in Meeting: Manpower Needs.

WASHINGTON, June 26 (U. P.), ~The army 4nd navy today hoped that pay boosts for service personnel and new recruiting drives will eliminate any need for peacetime drafting. Congress late yesterday extended the draft until March 31, 1947, but its members, too, hoped the conscription powers would not have to be used

The draft extension bill, now on President Truman's desk for his action, covers childless men in the 19-through-44 age bracket. In a companion measure, congress authorized pay increases of 10 to 50 | per cent for enlisted personnel and officers. Announce “Holiday” Both Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson and high-ranking naval officers expressed hope that the new | pay scale will attract enough vol-| unteers to meet all manpower needs. To give the voluntary pro- | gram a chance to prove itself, both the army and navy announced a “holiday” on draft calls during July and August.

PERRY TO FACE VISITING JUDGE

Illinois Jurist to Sentence Evansville Embezzler.

Judge Walter C. Lindley of Danville, Ill, will preside in federal court tomorrow when 54-year-old Sterling Perry, confessed embezzler of $143,000 from the National City bank of Evansville, will be sentenced.

The Illinois tedaral judge, who presided in the recent deportation hearing of Frederick Bauer, alleged Nazi espionage agent, was called here for the Perry case and several others. Because of a long friendship with several principals in the Perry case, including Charles Enlow, president of the bank, Judge Baltzell disqualified himself to sentence the defendant. Perry pleaded guilty at his arraignment recently. He faces a total of 55 years in prison and a fine of $55,000 on 11 counts in an indictment charging violation of
