Washington, Sept. 9. (IP)
Representative Fish (R-NY) pro
posed in the house today that
compulsory military training be
deferred for 60 days in favor of
the volunteer system the same
draft bill amendment that barely
failed in the senate.
Fish said the amendment to
the Burke-Wadsworth conscrip
tion bill, which the senate re
fused to adopt on a 43-41 vote,
had for its only purpose "to per
mit and encourage the youth of
America to volunteer.
"If adopted, then the presl
dent would call for 400,000 vol.
unteers; if the 400.000 were not
forthcoming in the 60-day period
he could induct 200-000, assum
ing that only 200,000 volun
teered." "I am not sure that we can
get the men in 60 days, but I
believe we can."
Washington, Sept. 5. (IP)
With the spectacle of a hard
hitting fistflght on the floor to
testify to the shortness of some
tempers, the house began Its
final drive today for a decision
on the Burke-Wardsworth com
pulsory military training bill.
Two days of general debate
over, the chamber settled down
to consider the measure section
by section and to act on the
scores of pending amendments.
The vote on conscription was ex
pected tomorrow night or Sat
urday. Victory Margin Cut
Sponsors of the bill, recheck
fng their strength, made sharp
downward revisions in earlier
predictions that It would pass by
150 votes. Although still insist
ing It would not be defeated,
they said they now expected the
bill's margin would be from 50
to 75 votes.
The tense feelings enffenrier-
d by the conscription debate
burst out into the open last
night when the epithet "traitor"
was spoken and the house he.
held Rep. Vincent (D., Ky.) and
ep. Sweeney (D., Ohio) throw.
ing punches at each other In
the well of the chamber while
uie galleries looked on.
The fight followed a aneerh
by Sweeney, in which he as
sailed conscription and accused
President Roosevelt of seeking
to embroil the United State in
war.
Wilson Cited
In the course of the speech.
Sweeney, who is 85, mentioned
that the slogan during Wood-
row Wilsons 1916 campaign
was: "He kept us out of war."
"And the people believed it,"
he said, "and they returned that
individual to the White House.
'Then they were brought to
their sense five months later
when he put us into war."
Sweeney returned to (eat
beside Vincent, five years his
junior, and abruptly the flare
up occurred. Each representa
tive landed hard blowa to the
face and kept slugging until col
leagues intervened. One grap
pled with the stocky Sweeney
and rolled over a seat with him
before he pinned him down.
Sweeney Apologises
Sweeney subsequently apolo
gized to the house. Vincent at
first repeated his charge of
"traitor" but later withdrew it
at the persuasion of friends,
Each gave the house his version
of the altercation.
Sweeney's account:
"As I resumed my seat, the
gentleman with whom I had
difficulties called me a traitor.
He repeated it again and you
know what happened.
Vincent's account:
"1 served in the World war,
. . . To say that my president
of that time brought on that
war to me was an untruth. The
whole statement that the gentle
man made here I resented very
much.
"When he came down to ait
with me, I got up and moved
and I shall continue to move
as long as I am a member of
the congress of the United
States and he is a member of
congress. ...
I said I did not want to sit
by a traitor to my country,
Then he attacked me and you
know what happened.

ASHLAND CLAIMS
LOWEST RATE ON
ELECTRIC POWER
Ashland, Sept- 5. (IP) Ash
land today claimed the lowest
electricity rates in Oregon for
towns of 2500-10.000 population
not served by Bonneville.
A reduced schedule approved
yesterday supplies electricity at
5 cents for each of the first 40
kilowatts, 3 cents for the next
45, 2 cents for the next 115 and
1 cent thereafter. In addition
the schedule offers 20 kilowatt
hours for lights for 11 and for
electric range for $2.50.
California Oregon Power com
pany said its comparable resi
dential monthly rates were 4',-i
cents for each of the first 50
kilowatts, 3 cents for the next
75, 2 cents for the next 125 and
114 cents thereafter, with the
water heater rate at 8 mills per
kilowatt. The company added
that it was not fair to make
such comparisons unless the
whole rate structure, type
and scope of service and taxes
were considered.

horse, led the Hungarian army
Into this Transylvania city early
today, beginning occupation of
the war-lost territory Hungary
regained by the Vienna Fiat of

barrier to invasion of Central

The 72-year-old regent thus
symbolically inaugurated Hun
