Congress Set:
To Renew FR's
War Powers
. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 - -A
one-year's extension of the see
ond war powers act .keystone of
the war production- and rationing
program started on Its . way
through confress today.
A sub-committee reported the
extension to the house judiciary
committee without recommenda
tion after a one-da hearing. That
means any changes in the act must
be worked out by the full commit
tee which meets Wednesday.
Although - the sub-committee's
action did not give the measure
formal approval, there was every
Indication it will have no trouble
getting: through the short session
of congress. There may be minor
changes. !
Without renewal the war pow
ers act would expire at the close
of . this. year. Administration
spokesmen say the renewal Is
needed to keep the war production
program Intact until the end of
hostilities. t i-
ONtheHOMEFRONT
By ISABEL CH3LDS -It's
the usual story in reverse.
' -: . ' -V-
, But I suppose there must be
other selective service, boards that
have been defended 'by - parents.
The mother of thejrouog man
involved- wanted us to be sure to
mention in a story in the; service,
column that he had ENLISTED,
not because she thought there
was anything more noble about
enlisting than about being selected,
but because she knew the draft
board in her district had been
pretty, thoroughly panned by the"
neighbors. . : -. ,-
Like to meet those neighbors,
wouldn't you? Ordinarily the cri
tics are after the scalps of the
selective j service boys because
they've left that perfectly able-'
. Wiled young 1 man" in civilian
clothes when likely as not the AB
YM has asthma so' loud you can
hear him across the street, is ane
mic, has two children and an in
valid wife and besides wears, thick
glasses and is employed at a high
ly technical task in a war indus
try). : !-"- -V;
But these neighbors thought, the
herb of our story, or rather the
ton of our heroine, should have
"teen left to run the farm.
He had an' agricultural deferl
tnent, his mother says, but' h4
wanted to go so he went Now, she
wants the -members of the selec
tive service board to be received
again in polite society, so we win
please tell the world her son was
n't drafted. We will. And, per
sonally, "we think she deserves a
medal, too.
