Mr. Truman also directed that in classification of draft -registrants there, shall be no discrimination because of race, creed or color, or because of membership or activity in any organization.

Registration for the draft starts Aug. 30. The first Army call for men is expected in September and the first draftees probably will fce inducted early in November. All men 18 through 25 must register for the peacetime draft. Those 19 through 25 are subject to can tor zi montns' service unless deferred. The 18-year-olds may volunteer for a year's training and thus escape being drafted later. Here are the men who will be deferred in the 19-through-25 peacetime draft: 1. Husbands. 2. Fathers. 3. Unreplaceable agricultural workers engaged In marketing substantial amounts of farm products essential to the national health, safety or interest, 4.

Soviet officials had charged that the teachers were "kidnaped" and forcibly kept from sailing for Russia as scheduled on July 31. In diplomatic language, this country called those charges lies. It was the heaviest diplomatic blow the United States has struck against Soviet Russia since the two countries established relations in 1933. It was the first time this country had demanded recall of a high Soviet diplomat. The consul general in ' New York is perhaps the highest Soviet official in the United States aest to the ambassador.

Delivery and publication of the note left only one perfunctory act to be performed before Lomakin becomes a mere private Soviet ' citizen in U. S. official eyes. That was the revocation by President Truman of the official authority granted this government for Lo makin to function as a consul general in this country. The revocation was being carried out today. Reasonable Time. U. S. ofifcials defined the "reasonable time" within which Lomakin must get out as "whatever time is reasonably necessary for him to wind up his affairs and arrange for passage."

But they have made it plain they do not want to, the U. S. note ;aid, and this country will not' force them to do so against their will.
