Congressional spokesmen close to the defense picture said this would depend a great deal on whether (1) the armed forces are increased beyond 3,500,000 men and (2) the international situation grows more grave. If these two categories of exempted men are called up, those affected, at least at first, probably will be single men with dependmarried ent parents, childless men, and war veterans who served a short period and did not go overseas. Men with dependents can be inducted upon issuance of a presidential order if they are aged 19 through 25. Congress has already legisenacted into law stand-b- y lation providing benefits to dependents of men called into service. World War II veterans generally are exempted and cannot be inducted without congress as- sent. They are exempted if they served at least 90 days between December 7, 1941, and September or if they served at least a period when were not in 2, 1945, one year during active hostilities progress. In addition, men in the second who served 90 days to 12 months are deferred if they join an active reserve force. However, the active reserve is subject to being called up at any time, but not through selective service. has anTruman President nounced that the armed forces will be increased to 3,500,000 men within a few months and there is talk of a further boost later to 4,000,000 or more.

The day after the congress closed Miss Fern Shipley, our supervisor, took us shopping at Marshall Fields, to the Board of Trade and to the Art Institute of Chicago after which we bade the windy city of Chicago goodbye and .boarded a train, which brought us back to Utah and home. 4-- tfworth A Christmas party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Junior Jewkes at Sunnydale for the members of the Sewing club.
