the assertion: "We will approve the ac
tion of anyone who refuses to register
, lor conscription."
Athninlatratlon la Attacked.
t The pamphlet says the question of
conscription "with its implications .for
the future." Is mors important than the
question of defeat or victory in the
mar; and that conscription as outlined
'in the new law . "is abhorrent to any
Itrue conception of democracy."
;'. The present Administration and Con
gress were "elected presumably be
cause they were expected to- keep us
out of war," the document asserts, and
when war was declared there was no
I referendum, nor was there a referen
dum as to conscription, the Government
,"remembering perhaps that the refer
endum in Australia had resulted in a
two-to-one vote against conscription."
; The pamphlet says "that If, wo want
o strike with the full strength of our
umbers we must refuse to register for
nscrlptlon even if it puts us In Jail."

HEART UNDER RIGHT ARM
Doctors Puzzled When" They Fall to
: Find Recruit's Pump. .
Lyle Carrow, of Sal am, a youth of 20
who aspired to the life of a sailor bold,
was a puzzle to officers and doctors
in charge of the Navy recruiting sta
tion in the Dekum building this week.
He signed up his enlistment papers,
but when he underwent physical ex
amination, the doctor could not locate
his heart.
Carrow was made to run around the
room for a while, until he was panting
freely and then he got another "up and
down" to see if any heart beats were
visible on the left side. Not an Indica
tion showed. But around under his
right arm a' throbbing was seen and
there is where his heart was found.
Request for a waiver was granted.

ADMINISTRATION FIGHT-LOST
37 Democrats Vote to . Elimi
nate Amendment.
WHITE HOUSE IS SILENT
Opposition . of Senate - Previously
Recorded and Further Effort to
Enact Law Not Likely In
Immediate Future. .
WASHINGTON, May 31. The Ad
ministration's fight for a war censor
ship on newspapers was lost in Con
gress today, at least for the present,
when the House refused by a vote of
184 to 144 to accept even the modified
censorship section written into the j
espionage bill in conference.
The Senate already is on record as
opposed to a censorship and leaders
In Congress do not expect any further
Administration effort to enact one in
the immediate future.
The test in the 'House came on a
motion to recommit the espionage bill
with Instructions that the censorship
regulation be eliminated.
Democrats Join Republicans.
Despite a determined attempt of
Democratic managers to line up the
party strength behind President Wil
son's demand for censorship, 37 Demo
crats Joined the Republicans voting
for the motion. Eleven Republicans,
disregarding their party caucus de
cision, voted in the negative.
Conferees for the House will report
their -instructions back to the Senate
conferees tomorrow and the bill shorn
of the censorship provision probably
will be reported to the Senate and
House within a few days and finally
accepted. It carries important modifi
cations of the spy laws and authoriza
tion for the President to lay embargoes
in time of war.
. . Section Eliminated by Senate.
-No comment .on the outcome In the
House waa forthcoming from' the White
House. The section which- had been
agreed on by the conferees was some
what similar-to one which the House
had substituted during first considera
tion of the bill for the more sweeping
provisions drawn up and submitted by
the Administration. The Senate, while
the bill was under debate, threw the
censorship section out entirely by a
vote of 48 to 34. 1
In the House debate today, opponents
of censorship argued that a restriction
such as the conferees proposed would
violate the right of a free press. The
voluntary censorship under which the
country's newspapers were now work
ing was pointed to as demonstrating
the patriotism of editors and as prov
ing that no legal restrictions are
needed.
Author of Amendment Tvnu.
Among the Democrats who spoke and
voted against the conference censorship
section was Representative Gard. of
Ohio, author of the original House cen
sorship amendment.
Members of the Judiciary committee,
which reported the original bill, with
the first Administration proposal in
cluded, 'were divided today. Leading
the fight for the conference proposal
were Chairman Webb and Representa
tive Carlin. Representative Graham, of
Pennsylvania, a Republican membe- of
the committee, led the opposition-
Mr. Webb argued that snie papers
before the war was over -undoubtedly
would publish news regarding national
defense which would be useful to an
enemy, and that some legal steps
would have to be taken against them.
- Other Provisions Suffice.
Mr. Graham declared other sections
of the bill were sufficient to guard
against dangerous disclosures by the
press.'
The Democrats voting with the Re
publicans to recommit the bill were:
Brodbeck, Pennsylvania: Burnett, Ala
bama; Church, California; Claypool,
Ohio; Connelly. Kansas; Grosser, Ohio;
Dill, Washington; Dominick, South
Carolina; Evans, Montana: Gallagher,
Illinois; Gard and Gordon, Ohio; Ham

ould Exempt Farmers
from . Operation of Clause. In
serted Into Food Measure.
WASHINGTON. May 31. Hoarding,
storage or destruction of food, fuel or
other necessaries of life to limit supply
or affect prices would be a felony un
der an amendment to the Government's
first food bill- adopted in the - Senate
today with a record, vote.
Several Senators protested that the
provision was ' too drastic 'and would
prevent legitimate" storing to equalize
markets, - but all efforts to . modify it
failed. - .. -
Violation ; of the second would be
punishable . by, Imprisonment In the
penitentiary for not less than six
months nor more than , three .years.
Holding by farmers or others of the
products of land cultivated by them
Is exempted.
Consideration of the Administration
bill, which-provides for a food survey
and stimulation of production, neared
the final-stage today, but the Introduc
tion of a number of amendments short
ly before adjournment probably will
prevent a final vote before Saturday.
An amendment which would author
ize the Secretary of Commerce to take
steps to promote more general use of
fish to relieve the food stringency was
offered -by Senator Fletcher. It would
permit the Secretary to catch and mar
ket fish. A letter from Secretary Red
field in - support' of the proposal was
read.
Senator "Wadsworth objected on -the
ground that It would put the Govern
ment into the fishing -'business, and
Senator Plttsman moved to eliminate
the marketing section. The amend
ment will be discussed agaln4jomorrow.
