Differences
Proposed Volunteer Trial, Age

Draft Postponement Is
Frowned on by Willkie.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. (AP)
A Joint senate-house conference
committee, whose memhers already
have voted individually 9 to 2 for
immediate conscription, worked to
day to compromise the differences
of the two branches of congress on
the Hurke-WadHWorlh compulsory
military training hill.
The hie differences were:l
1 The house-npprovod provision
for a liO-day delay In conscription,
pending further trial of voluntary
enlistments;
2 The house nmendment ex
panding the nfrecled ago limit from
tho senate-approved bracket of 21
through 30 years to 21 through 44
years.
Leaders insisted that tho person
al views of the conferees, regis
tered In their previous votes on
the measure, would not lessen their
efforts to maintain the position
taken by their respective houses a
traditional requirement.
Most unbiased observe believ
ed, however, that the final compro
mise submitted lo both bouses for
ratification would provide for reg
istration of ttin broader 21-44 age
group, with conscription to follow
immediately for those selected.
Delay Plan Rejected
The senate gave what some con
sidered back handed approval of
such a compromise yosletday by
voting down two motions by Sena
tor Clark (IJ., Mo.).
Clark sought to Instruct tho sen
nte conferees to accept tho bouse
nmendment for a (in-day delay In
conscription. The chamber rejected
this. 48 lo 1!). It then vol6d down,
44 to 23, companion proposal that
conferees be instructed to uphold a
senate provision for the registra
tion or all men from 21 to 30 years
old. Inclusive, instead of the house
provision fixing the nee bracket at
21 to 44, inclusive. ,

Total Vote Declines.
Yesterday's total vote of approxi

margin In the gubernatorial fight
that year was 37,000. Alt M. Lan

Partly cloudy weathor and show

Holding Primaries
Party Lines Cross In Arizona;

Runs on G. O. P. Ticket.
(By the Associated Press)
While the Maine election figures
were being studied by rival party
leaders, Alaska was voting today
In a "farthest north" general elec
tion, and eight states were holding
nrlmaiies which will designate can
didates for a total of 5 scats in the
senate and 47 In the house of rep
resentatives. Gubernatorial nomi
nations also were on the tickets in
nil except Louisiana.
The states holding primaries to
day were: Arizona. Colorado, I.oui
siana. Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Washing
ton. Georgia will nave a primary
tomorrow and New Mexico on Sat
urday. Today's primaries contained sev
eral contests which attracted spe
cial Interest.
Party Lines Tangled.
Arizona had a wide-open race for
the designation of democratic presi
dential electors, with .Willkie dem
ocratic presidential electors, with
Willkie democrats challenging
three different sets of electors sup
porting Roosevelt. Failure of the
democrats to file nominating peti
tions for electors left tho Issue to
be decided by wrile-ln votes. A vic
tory tor the Willkie slate would
pledge the electors to cast Ari
zona's votes for him even though
he might not carry the state In
November.
Louisiana's balloting carried
echoes of the battle which ousted
Huey P. Long's political dynasty,
with Governor Sam H. Jones up
pealing for the defeat of the Btato's
entire delegation In the Iioiiho of
representatives. Most of the In
cumbents campaigned for Earl K.
Long In his unsuccessful enort last
winter to dereat Jones and continue
as governor.
Shipstead Has 3 Rivals.
In Minnesota's primary, Senator
Shipstead, farmer-laborite lor 18
years who lert his party this Bum
mer, was seeking the republican
senatorial nomination in a four-man
race. Members of the farmer-labor
party have been urged by their
leaders not to desert party ranks
to vote for Shipstead.
Another Minnesota contest found
Governor Harold E. Stassen, repub
lican national convention keynoter,
seeking renomination, with two
opponents.
In Michigan Senator Vandenberg
was asking renomination on the re
publican ticket.
Roosevelt Administration, Victors Assert
ing renomination.
Primary Ruse Used
The feature of the campaign's
closing days was the attempt to
lure republican voters- into the
conservative democratic camp 'of
Governor Martin under Washing
ton's blanket primary ballot, under
which voters do not have to vote
a straight party ticket in tho pri
maries. Republican leaders have
appealed to parly members' to
"vote her straight." despite the
prospects of Seattle's Mayor Ar

race for the republican nomination
for governor.
