er, or Auintant SecreUry Charlea
F. Brannan, a Denrer lawyer. Both

Loaders of major (arm onranlra
tlons said today they have been
told by administration ottlcials
Uiey describe as "very reliable"
that Dodd will be named to suc
ceed Clinton P. Anderson.
Anderson has announced that he
will quit as secretary this spring
or early summer to run for the
senate In New Mexico. He seeks
the seat of Senator Hatch D who
Is not a candidate for reelection.
Two-Way Race
A key administration leader In
a position to know: but who asked
that he not be named said Dodd
Is "very much in the running." He
added, however, that Brannan also
Is being considered. He said it is
safe to assume that either Dodd or
Brannan will be chosen.
Last November President Truman
elevated Jesse M. Donaldson to the
postmaster generalship to succeed
Robert E. Hannegan. Donaldson
started as a mail carrier In 1908.
Dodd, a native of Iowa, was
closely associated with the AAA
crop adjustment programs of the
thirties. He started as a county
AAA committeeman in Oregon. He
later became state AAA chairman,
a regional AAA representative, then
chief of the AAA in Washington,
and finally undersecretary of agri
culture. In his present capacity, he has
been handling most of the depart
ment's activities In the interna
tional field.

Nationalist China Faces
Problem Of Youths Trying
To Dodge The Draft Issue
By JOIIN RODERICK I
SHANGHAI, April 2 In
nationalist China almost no one
wants to be a soldier.
Although the nation is locked in :
a life and death civil war. there is
no rush to the colors. In fact, one
of the commonest topics ol conver
sation among young men is how- to
escape the draft.
Generally it is fairly easy a '
draftee can leave town or buy out.
The latter means paying for a
substitute, a practice followed in
the U. S. Civil war. Draft officials,
who are realists, have drawn up an
easy scale of payments, in every
thing from dollars to rice.
Tientsin's draft is a good example j
of official difficulties. The city was
supposed to have sent 7500 men to :
the army by the end of January, i
Only 2250 were located.
City officials offered cash bonuses
if others would sign. The offer has .
risen steadily until lt is 10.000.000 I
Yuan (about $20) but there have
been few takers.
Now the city is going to draw lots
to Ret the remainder cf its needed
"volunteers." After the drawing,
there will be another delay while
thof-e chosen try to hire standitis.
The apathetic attitude toward the
civil war is in sharp contrast with
sentiments during the Japanese war.
Then thousands of youths fled Jap
anese areas so they could fight for
free China.
After eight years of war against
the invader, most of these young
sters have become disillusioned men.
They returned to a society in which
many collaborators or nonfighters
had made and kept fortunes.
One young veteran summed up
this prevalent attitude:
"Why should I fight u j own gov
ernment? This is a private war be
tween the Kuomintang t government
partyi and the communists. I want
to begin living my own life and all
I want is peace."
