EXTENSION OF
F
BY
(Continued from Page One)
their votes. This vote clearly
indicates that the administration
could not get a resolution
through congress for a declara
tion of war."
By . RUSSELL TURNER
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (UP)
The house last night passed the
administration's army service ex
tension bill by one vote after it
appeared that a powerful non
interventionist coalition had mus
tered enough strength to defeat
it.
The final roll call was 203 to
202. Speaker Sam Rayburn or
dered a recapitulation. A recount
showed the same tally, however,
and while bi-partisan opponents
roared their opposition, Rayburn
declared the measure approved.
'" - Nation Jeopardised
The bill, already approved by
the senate, proclaims the nation
in jeopardy and extends by 18
months the service of all army
men selectees, national guards
men, reservists and regular en
listed personnel.
The administration had anti
cipated a close vote but the lead
ership was astounded by the re
sult. Only a few moments before
the roll call, the leaders had en
gineered defeat of a recommit
tal motion, 215 to 190, Indicating
they had a safe margin of 23
votes for passage.
Some members who voted
against recommittal did a 'run
out" before the final ballot, how
ever, and the administrationists
held their breath as the roll call
showed the "nos" in the ascend
ancy. The selective service act pro
vides that draftees, reservists
and national guardsmen may be
held on duty for only one year.
The 18-month extension thus
automatically increases their
tenure of service to two and
one half years. Enlisted men
could be held 18 months be
yond their regular enlistment
period, or a total of four and one
half years.
In addition to the extension
clause, both chambers provided:
An unequivocal declaration
that "the national interest is
imperiled." f. - ,
Elimination of the 900,000 lim
itation in the selective service
act on the number of selectees
who may be in training at any
single time.
A JlO-a-month raise for all
army men, except officers, after
they have completed their first
year of service.
An important difference is a
clause concerning so-c ailed
"hardship cases." The house ver
sion requires the secretary of
war to dismiss soldiers who can
show continued service would
"subject them or their wives or
other dependents to undue hard
ship. . . ." The senate left such
dismissals to the secretary's dis
cretion.
In addition, the house failed
to make provision for dismissal
of selectees who have passed
their 28th birthday, as the sen
ate did. House leaders explained
that this matter was covered in
other legislation.

Lake o' The Woods Road
In the discussion of the present
road problem, the matter of the
Lake o' the Woods road came
up. It was pointed out that this
Is a recreation rather than a
utility road, and it might have
to wait. The county had planned
to put $2500 on this road this
year.'
Mayor John Houston, an ac
tive member of the Lake o' the
Woods Homeowners association,
said:
"I have been one of those who
have pressed for work on this
road, and there is no doubt that it
is needed. But it is plain to me
that if a sacrifice must bo made,
the airport road re-location
should bo considered an emerg
ency and should come first.
However, after the meeting,
county officials said they believ
ed it would be possible to find
the $6000 without sacrificing the
Lake o' the Woods work entire
ly. City Engineer E. A. Thomas
said that the army engineers
have agreed to construct a drain
ditch near the proposed road re
location, which will provide dirt
for the road Itself. The federal
government, however, will not
put any money directly Into the
road.
Thomas pointed out that the
road problem had come to a head
because the government has
granted the money for the addi
tional runway sooner than had
been expected. It has also chang
ed the runway site so the strip
of concrete will point at Olene
gap rather than Stukel mountain,
as had been originally planned
The city . engineer said that
It Is his understanding the gov
ernment will have the new run
way work done by the contractor
now building two runways at the
airport. However, he stated,
there can be no delay In clearing
tha way for the work, if this
plan Is carried through.
