UNO Secretly Studies Soviet Walkout DRAFT EXTENSION COMMITTEE TO HEAR 2 GENERALS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, March 28 — (AP)—A Senate Military Com mittee evenly divided over wheth er to extend the draft law a year or only a month.and a half called two generals to open a fortnight of public hearings today. They are Maj. Gen. Willard Paul, Army Chief of Personnel, and Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di rector of Selective Service. Many opponents of continuing the draft have demanded a chance to testify before the hearing end April 9. Sen. Austin (R.-Vt.), a committee member who wants a one-year extension from May 15, said these opposition witnesses will be limited to 15 minutes each. They include Socialist leader Nor man Thomas and several religious groups. : Russell Blocks Bill | Administration forces battling for Senate approval of a 65-cent minimum hourly wage bill ran in to a road block in the form of a farm amendment by Senator Rus sell (D.-Ga.). The amendment would revise the parity formula to include the price of agriculture. Senator Pep per (D.-Fia.), floor leader for the wage bill, said OPA figures show= ed the parity revision would up farm prices 20 percent and retail prices 6 percent. Director John D. Small of the Civilian Production Administra tion was granted a hearing by the iSenate Banking Committee, con sidering legislation to put a 2,700,- ‘lOOO—home building: project into ef fect. Senator Capehart (R.-Ind.) as serted a proposed $600,000,000 fund to subsidize scarce building materials — which housing boss Wilson W. Wyatt says is the heart of the program—smacks of a 2 “nork barrell.” He told reporters he would fight such proposals “until hell freezes over.” ) Fears For OPA On the subject of another red hot issue on Capitol Hill a mem ber of theHouse Banking Com ‘mittee declared” there "is “terrific danger that the OPA law will be amended to death.” Rep. Moroney (D.-Okla.), who favors législation to prolong OPA ‘one year beyond June 30, said in an interview he reached this conclusion during six weeks of hearings on the bill. Democratic Leader Barkley (Ky.) said he was confident the Senate would confirm today the nomination of Commodore James K. Vardaman, jr., the President’s Naval aide, as a member of the Federal Reserve Board. Republican Senators Donnell (Mo.) and Tobey (N. H.) declared they would vote against Varda man.

Opponents of ‘the House Com mittee on Un-American Activities planned an attempt to have the controversial group repudiated by its creator on the ground it has abused its powers. ¢ 4 The test will come when the committee asks the House to up-. hold contempt proceedings against 16 executives of the joint anti- Fascist refuge committee who de clined to furnish records sub poenaed by the committee. | A dozen senators and 45 House members were invited to a “good will” dinner tonight where party officials will try to unify Demo crats behind the administration’s chewed-up program in Congress.l Seven Yanks Die In Plane Crash MANILA, March 28—(AP) — Seven American soldiers were killed and two injured in the crash of a C-47 iranspori piane in the southern Luzon mountains Saturday in which 11 Filipinos also perished, the U.

OPA May Resume Wartime Controls On Meat Dealings | WASHINGTON, March 28 — (AP)—With restoration of one wartime meat control already or dered, OPA today dusted off an other it may use against black market dealing in cattle. A price agency official who withheld use of his name said the government is prepared to re-in stitute more drastic slaughtering ‘regulations if the measure which goes into effect Monday does not turn the trick. } The control order OPA is re storing is aimed at curbing sc called custom slaughtering—butch ering on a fee basis by packing houses for those who own live ’stock. 4 ¥ - Under the regulation, no beef or veal from custom slaughtered cattle or calves may be sold by anyone unless: " The owner of livestock had ani~ mals slaughtered at the same plant prior to last December 29, when a similar wartime order was re voked, or . 2. The Agricultural Department has granted an exemption cover ing both the slaughterer and the owner of ‘livestock. OPA said the chief offenders among those who have custom slaughtering done are some res taurants, wholesalers of meat cuts and retailers who have turned to buying live cattle “to make wup for shortages in their countries.” .The agency said some of these dealers with “more money than conscience” are buying cattle to sell “at whatever prices the black market will pay.” , Famine Emergency Program In Clarke County Mapped At Meefing Tuesday Plans were discussed and adopted for putting into effect the President’s Famine Emer gency Program in Clarke county to help feed starving war-devas tated nations, at a meeting in the county courthouse = Tuesday aft ernoon.

P. McWhirter, administrative officer of the Clarke County A. C. A, to give any jnformation he might have on the subject. In this in formation it was stated that the world faces the gigantic emer gency of famine among five hundred million people due to war, exhaustion :of agriculture and drought. A great human ery has gone out to save them over a terrible four months until the next harvest. The Western Hemi sphere alone has the aid to give, and a heavy. part of the burden falls upon the United States.

Mr. St. John said that fae had just returned.from overseas, and consequently health was ° more than ever on his mind, due tn the conditions over there. When he get back he wag glad to find that Georgia wag launch~ ing .a better health program it self. Since the Constitution gives the right to life; lil.iity, and the pursuil of happiness, the citizeny should also have the right to ‘good health since he needsit to putsue the other riglats, St. John said. Mr. St. John then said that Athens is deing a fine job It self along thig line and since he is .a native of Athens, tue son of D. B. St. John, thiz made him even Happier. In order to show what" great strides the city has made toward ridding itself of disease, e cited some figures. “Only 25 years ago 117 cases of typhoid occurred i 1 one year. In 1930 this figure was reduced to 53, and durinz the wpast 7 yvears there hag been only one case of typhoid roported. How was this done? By magic? No, by your health authovities keep ing everlastingly a: work—su vervising sewage disposal, test ing milk, purifying water, giv~ ing tvphoid shots, and teaching, teaching, teaching folks to be ware of this dread disease.” Cites Example Saying that that was only one example of the wcrk of the public - health department he gave anotaer one showing how still-births have Leen reduced. - “In 1924 a total Y 22 out of ‘every 1000 colored »abies were ‘born dead. Last year this figure had been reduced 1o less than 40 and is still going down, This s ‘being done by teaching mothers ‘,how to take care ci ihemselves, by testing for gonorraea and syphilis. by training colored midwives, and by home super ‘\\fising of one much overworked public health nurse. “In 1924 a total 262 colored infants out of revery 1000 died before reaching tha sge of one year; and 92 white infants died during the first year. In 1845 the rates for botiy had been re duced by two-thirds - - - “All the milk sold in Athens now is Grade A and 90 per cent of it is pasteurized. In the last ten years the Health Department here alene has given more than 50,000 treatments for gonorrhea and syphilis.” Mr. St. John then stated that he had been talking about what Athens had done, in the way %12 citizens of the corumunity had responded to health education. That -has been a primary factor in the accomplidament of this campaigni. But’ now he would tell wihat Athens can do even better. “T should venture to guess that work now being done in public health is ten times the amount in 1926, ye*t tke appro priation ic S2OOO lless Maan 20 years ago.” .
