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. . . -

fatal bottle, Mellinger said, had
been in the back of Tollefson's
automobile.
