congress was putting Us hand gingerly to the business of passing service act which would a selective nation's armed forces a give total manpower of slightly more than two million in two years The house armed services committee had approved the measure after Defense Secretary James hearing Forrestal term it an “excellent” one and passed it on to the floor of the house for debate Thus for the first time since bewas facing fore the war congress squarely the momentoua issue of a national draft That this was hapdays pening during the of an election year only served to the apparent urgency of anderline fra matter As approved by the armed services the bill would: committee Raise total authorized manpower 1 of the armed forces to 2005882 air force 502000 837000 —army navy and marine corps 666882 of men Require registration from 18 through 30 with those from It through 25 liable for two years’ service Exempt most veterans from further service but those under 81 would have to register Allow seizure of Industrial plants If they reby the government fused to give top priorities to armament orders As It stood the draft plan was conceded to have a good chance of passage at this session of congress But complications were being threatened by the senate armed services committee which seemed inclined to combine a universal military training measure with the draft bill was waiting for The committee Kenneth Royall to Army Secretary details of a bill to call recommend for a year's train161000 ing They would be taken in addition to men procured through the draft that didn’t look As a

Fight Ahead One of the most pressing problems members of congress have had to decide this year is whether their political bread Is spread with butter or oleomargarine It is further complicated by the that they might in choosing or the other be letting the gravy away from them For good or ill however the house of representatives made its decision It passed by a vote of 260 to 106 a bill to repeal all federal oleomarga-rthtaxes which have been on the books for 62 years Those taxes are itemized as fol10 cents a pound on colored lows: fact one get ' oleo 14 cent a pound on uncolored f600 a year on manufacturers $180 on wholesalers of colored oleo $200 on wholesalers of the uncolored $48 on retailers of colored product oleo and $6 ojj retailers of uneolored Even if the federal taxes were repealed it still would be against the 'law to sell colored oleo in 20 states Nevertheless the house had rid self of the matter and now it was up to the senate where a battle royal was in prospect Reason the oleo tax issue has a stiff fight ahead in the senate is that senators are elected by voters of entire states rather than by voters of districts within the states as are most representatives The result in this case is a split tn the sentiment of constituents of many senators For example big northern states Michisuch as Illinois Wisconsin gan and Ohio are composed of consumer cities and producer farms The country diftrlcts include dairy fanners and °y bean grower Consumers in cities want repeal of the taxes and so do the soy bean men whose product is used in manufacture of oleo The dairy farmers naturally want the tax to remain The dairy interests are strong Their supporters in congress have been able to retain the oleo tax by the simple process of shelving any It haprepeal bills in committee pened to the current bill in the house agricultural committee but a petition circulated among house members forced the bill on to the floor where it was approved COLD aeeaatarUjr

British mandats on May 15 Palestine had become a savagely confused moribund state the United Nations trusBitterly teeship council virtually abandoned Its efforts to devise an effectiva plan to

fighting As far aa tha threatened invasion of Palestine by neighboring Arab atates was concerned no one seemed able to sum up tha situation accurately Jews were insisting in the face of denials that Syrian and Lebaneta armies had invaded northern Palestine and the British were reported to have rushed troops back into the country to deal with what they called a “seriously deteriorated” situation

COVENANTS: Just Paper In a decision which may product more extensive reaction than any designed civil rights legislative program the U S supreme court handed down a decision that in effect outlaws restrictive covenants which bar racial or religious minorities from buying or occupying property in many areas throughout tha country Declaring tha decision Chief Jua tic Fred Vinson held that enforcement of restrictive covenants by stats or federal courts was a violation of the 14th amendment That amendment adopted in 1868 reads in part: “No state shall make or enforce shall any law which abridge tha privileges or immunities of citizens of the United State nor deny to any person within Its tha equal protection of jurisdiction — the laws” — The supreme court's decision did not declare that restrictive covenants as such art violations of the constitution but by ruling that it is unconstitutional for tha courts to enforce tha covenants it reduced them legally to mere acrapi of paper
