The ranking Democratic members of the House Armed Services Committee recommended that all eligible men be registered for Selective Service but that none be called for 60 days. Could Invoke Draft At the end of that time, Mr. President Truman could invoke the draft without further action by Congress if enlistments had not picked up enough to fill the ranks. Mr, Vinson’s proposal is similar to the “standby” draft plan put forth by Sen. Owen Brewster (R. Me.) and other GOP senators. Two Negro leaders told the committee yesterday they would lead a “civil disobedience drive” against draft registration unless racial discrimination is abolished in the armed forces. A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (AFL), said he would urge Negroes throughout the country to join in “an organized refusal to register and be drafted.”

Four months ago I married his friend and find I don’t love him at all a2 church wedding which I didn’t have the first time. He is a senior at college and enters medical school next fall. He loves me very much and has been nice to my two children. He's smart and I believe that's the thing I dislike most, Every time I make a statement he corrects me or disagrees. My first husband still loves me and wants me back. He has changed and I'm sure we could make a go of marriage. Is there any way I can right the wrong I've done without hurting too gany people? The children remember their daddy and my little” girl keeps asking why I don't go back to him.’ My second husband says he'll let me go but that he loves me dearly, We are anxiously awaiting your answer, Could I obtain an annulment or would it have to be a divorce?
