i pTce'two FATHERS GET 1 LONGER TIME AFTER DRAFT WASHINGTON, May 14 (IP) ;The nation's fathers wer caught in tug-of-war between the ex ecutive and legislative branches of the government today, with the former apparently seeking to pull them into military service Isoon and the latter starting move to hold them out at least until next year. , .. With impending new allied of fensives hinting that a call for thousands of more fighting men might soon be in order, the army extended the furlough per .iod given new inductees from i seven to 14 days and directed that it be Increased to three , weeks by September 1. The two 'weeks extension is to be put into effect as soon as possible, and in no case later than July 1. :r ; Although no reason was given 'for the move, other than that lone week caused hardships "in :some cases," it was understood ithat the war department felt ! fathers would need more time :than single or childless married men to settle their personal and ! business affairs when inducted. Thus, the announcement was in terpreted as heralding the 'drafting of fathers on a large jt'cale in the near future. !?, At the same time, however, "Chairman Reynolds i)-N.O of the senate military committee 'paved the way today for a new ; congressional fight to exempt fathers for the rest of 1943 by - calling for hearings to start Mon j day on the 'house-approved Kil j day bill. :;.:: !' While the bill would only de- ;lay the induction of fathers, Sen : tor Wheeler (D-Mont.), a mem j.ber of the committee, said he i would seek to substitute a flat i exemption proposal for the house .(measure. Reynolds' action was prompted y a communication from the Svar department yesterday re lies ting that high ranking of- icials be permitted to testify on She measure. . . - K : Oregon Hop Market JiSaid Fairly Active 5 PORTLAND, May 14 (AP jtySDA) Oregon hop markets .'Continued fairly active on the jiolder ... growths,- with dealers Jiusy faking deliveries and mak I ing shipments on these recently ; released supplies, - the depart i ment of agriculture said today.
