The president noted It would require "personal sacrifice" for those called out to leave their homes and Jobs but. he said, their service was "vitally es sential" to the country. Senator Capper (R-Kas.) took the floor to declare the compuls ory military training bill pre pared by the senate military committee "will lead us closer all the time to the European war." A voluntary system of obtain ing enlistment for the army should be tried for one year, he said, before congress attempts to adopt a conscription program. Compromise Talked A delay in congressional de bate on peacetime conscription appeared likely today, in view of "compromise" talk designed to avert a stiff floor fight. While John L. Lewis, CIO president, and Senator Taft (R Ohio) Joined the opposition to compulsory military training, Senator Barkley (D-Ky.), the majority leader, said that he favored giving members time to study the issue. Barkley made it clear that he personally approved of some sort of a conscription program but his comment raised the pos sibility that the senate might not take up Wednesday the Burke-Wadsworth bill, as orig inally planned. In the house, influential Dem ocrats said that they wanted to "make haste slowly" with the manpower phases of the defense program. The house military committee will resume hearings tomorrow on the conscription legislation, with Secretary of War Stimson as a witness some time this week. Richmond, Calif..
