which is expected to be offered
by Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo).
O'Mahoney probably will pro
pose retention of the present

. Steps In this direction were
taken by the war-manpower com

it moved to give local draft

In still another move, selec
tive service headquarters elim
inated the 4-H classification for
men between 38 and 45 and or
dered local boards to reclassify
them in the same categories as
younger men.
Chief aim of the new order is
to Induce men over 38 to take up
farming. It provides that any
man over 38 who is engaged in
farm work by May 1 shall be re
classified into the farm defer
ment classes, 2-C if single and
3-C if married, if he meets the

be put into the regular draft

expected to total 11,000,000 a
year until that time.

will spend millions of dollars on

states will need every cent they
can get to match these expendi

money will be spent in cities
Baldock said. '

dogs suffered a severe blow to
day when the senate approved
16-14 and sent to the house a
bill to deprive them of their
right to chase turkeys, chickens,
ducks, geese and rabbits.'
Sen. Earl E. Fisher, Beaver
ton, author of the bill, said it
would permit people whose
poultry or rabbits are killed by
stray dogs to either collect dam
ages from dog control boards, or
have the offending dogs killed.
But the opponents of the bill
said that, by classing poultry
and rabbits as livestock, the bill
would allow any persori to kill
any dog that chases any poultry
or rabbits.
