The bill, as passed by the sen-; nle, contained the following ma jor provisions: 1. All male citiitns or . prospective citiieni from 21 through 30 would be re- i quired to register, with few exceptions. 2, Registered men would be subject to call for a veer's ; compulsory military service, i 3. The men celled for serv- I ice would be selected in an "impartial manner." and in such numbers as the president , specifies. The maximum num ber of trainees at any one time ; is limited to 900.000. The bill also provided for an increase in the caslc army pay, which conscripts would receive, from $21 to $30 a month. Exemption from service ' would be granted registrants who are physically or mentally ! unfit, who have dependents, or who are employed in necessary " agricultural or industrial jobs. If the measure should be ap proved in substantially the same form by the house, a registration day probably would be set by the president about 15 days after the legislation became law. Then, by October 15, the army would expect to induct its first quota of conscripts, approxi mately 75.000 young men. If army plans materialized, 400,000 1 ouiu oc in training Dy January 1 and 400,000 more by April 1. j Age Bracket Widened I In its present state, however, the version of the Burke-Wads- worth bill now in the house com . mittee, differs on one big point from the senate-approved mea sure. It would make all men between 21 and 45 subject to registration and possible service, thus widening the age bracket j involved. Some rumblings of house op i position were heard against a ' few of the amendments which the senate voted yesterday be fore it reached the end of its 13 day finish-fight of the leglsla- tion which would give the na I tion the first peacetime conscrip I tion program in its history. The end came in the senate after the conscription forces had beaten off one attempt after an other to postpone or nullify the draft provision of the bill. First, however, the conscrip tionists themselves joined in adding some extraneous amend- ments, notably the joint amend j ment by Senators Russell (D-Ga.) and Overton (L-La.) giving the government power to take over j industrial plants for the manu j facture of defense materials, j Under its terms, the president would be authorized to direct in stitution of condemnation pro i ceedings against any manufac I turing plant whenever either the secretary of war or the secre . tary of the navy "determines j that any existing maunfacturing plant or facility is necessary for I the national defense and is un able to arrive at an agreement ; with the owner of such plant or facility for its use or operation" by the war or navy department, j The departments would be ; empowered to take over the plant and operate It pending court action.
