Senator Opposes Secretary Baker's Re ported Attitude In Favor of Exempting Husbandn. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 16. Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the committee on military affairs, is strongly opposed to the plan of Secretary of War Baker to make the marriage relation In itself consti tute grounds for a deferred classifica tion. That plan on the part of the Secretary was announced through the press at the conclusion of his recent conference with the committee. The meeting of the committee was behind closed doors, so it Is not known whether the Secretary so expressed himself to the Senators, but It is proba ble he did not, for when Senator Cham berlain was asked today what the at titude of the committee Is likely to ft if that question is raised, he said: "I can hardly credit the report that Secretary Baker advocated giving all married men a deferred classification. They do not have a deferred classifi cation now, and there is no reason why they should. "So far as relationship Is concerned, the question of dependence should de termine whether a man shall be given deferred classification. To establish the policy attributed to Secretary Baker would very largely defeat the purpose of the extension of the draft age limits." Columbia River Bar Report. NORTH HKAD, Aug. 16.
