Washington, Aug. 5—(JP) s Senators told Army Secretary Cordon [Gray yesterday that the peacetime draft act probi- ably will be allowed to die next June 25 unless defense . officials anticipate an emer gency. , /. Chairman Tydings (D-Md) of the Armed Services Committee said this was a subject of n secret session with Secretary Gray and Geheral J. Lawton. Collins, vice chief of staff for the Army. S1 . After the conference, from which even committee staff member^ were excluded, Tydings said no action on selective service appears necessary at this session. He said Congress would; meet again next January—in /time to consider an extension or revision. ' ■ *-. • / Last year, after much dispute^ Congress enacted a peacetime se-, lective. service act. Under it men r from 19 through 25 years were subject to draft for 21 months. ' No draft calls have been made / since January of this year be r cause-volunteers have more , than filled quotas for the. Armed Ser vices. “Gosh," he said, ‘Tm almost past the point of no return!" Never much of a chatterbox, he revealed—after considerable prod ding—some of the fact* of his life with Gloria. *• / The pair met about a year ago when they were seated next to each other at a dinner party gfiVen by the Gary Coopers. Gloria is a close friend of Mrs. Cooper’s. Now tha(t he thinks of: it, Jimmy agrees thsjt perhaps Mrs. Cooper had match- making in mind. i , * f The twosome , hit it off' right away. They began dating and playing golf together. Like many bridegrooms, Jimmy is not too good at dates. He figures it was h month or mgjybe two ago that he proposed. (Actually it was May.) The event took place at dinner at his house. “It was unpremeditated,’f he |said. “Although I guess it was un- IconsCiously ilremeditated for some itime.” Jimmy gaVe his bride-to-be ja of the polio ch lin would be easier. But now corned the hlarq part. You can have this disease without be ing sick, and Without a change to know you have it. And you can give it to' someone, else. Others can get it, but may show nothing. Yet they too cin spread it. The, medical consensus now is that polio pro >ably .spreads from person to pen ion, aided by some thing still uni mown. You are li cely to have polio virus in your systems during an epidemic,! Tha, leads to some of the things yoi i can do. j , t Things To Do Keep out oi crowds. That low ers the odds a little. Don’t get i hilled. Chilling has a technical n eaning here. It is lowering you* body temperature i the point {where natural body lemieal reabtior)$ slow down. With this mudi chilling, polio in fection alreacy present, gets a better chance !to start Don’t get f* fcigued. Fatigue low ers your bodyts resistance too. t / Keep clean; Obviously hands, toys, anythin) > in the house can harbor polio irirus. At this point comes another contradiction, in the finding that places with the best sanitation sc metimes have j the worst polio .Outbreaks. Stay out o ! polluted swimming waters. The reason is the verified fact that sewage has polio virus in an epidem c area. Watch Dut For Flies Swat flies. It is verified that they carry p<ilio virus. But don’t worry too m ich—remember that many thousan Is of dollars worth of search have ! died to trace a sing le cause of Ibman polio to flies. Mosquitoes atjd most other human bug -pests at Is under alight Bus- Melon, j! '• i. : I > | :l Watch hea< laches, sore throats, nausea, fever :, obscure pains and stiffness. Tha ; is the way a polio attack-may start. To be sure the watching woift prevent polio, but this watchfulness might edteh those previous early hours of the illness, and [really prevent some crippling. And be ghd that now thero is very much th it you can do if you get polio, as Monday’s story will explain. j i [ I!; . 1 Chinese Woman Gets Bi tackeye RE—UP)—A SINGAPORE—UP)—A 38-year- old woman vegetable seller earned the questionable distinction of be ing the first person in Singapore to give a member of this island’s new women police force a black eye.

Washington, Aifg quick agreement by 5—(iD—A duction down to 10,'000,000 bale® a nd Senate is Expected to speed to President Truman’s desk legisla tion clearing the way for cotton farmers to slash their acreage be ginning in 1960. The idea , is to ward off future sharp price breaks. The Ifouse passed -a bill late yesterday authorizing the Secre tary of Agriculture—If two-thirds of the farmers approve—to limit plantings to 21,000,000 were 26;380,000 plunt- 011 000 0—4 New York Cafe : I960 cotton acres. Then ed this yeai "Similar legislation has been passed by the St-natc. A House- Senate conference committee will iron out the differences. •y Ot ler Protection The House bill, by Rep. Pact, (G-Ga), als) takes steps—in pre paring for fwheat production con trols—to protect growers in areas where whea ; acreage has expanded rapidly in 'recent years. Similar protection ip sought in the bill for new growers of peanuts. Thd Pace/bill’s primary purpose is to brink about a balance of cotton pnxuctin with demand, to maintain tl e cotton price support program. S ich a balance is intend ed to forestall government losses on the loaujs it makes to support cotton prices. The bill amends the present law under which the Sec retary of Agriculture cannot allpt less than 27,500,000 acres. In the yobra beyond 1950 the bi 1 provides t tat the secretary caH allot acreage; to hold cotton pr<- year, qr at 1,000,000 bales under the total of the preceding year’s combined domestic consumption and exports. The 1949 cotton crop was 14,6^6,- 000 bales. Farmed Referendum; The Pace bill authorizes the sec retary to call for a farmer referen dum of cotton acreage controls. If two-thirds of the planters approve quotas, then the controlled btreage will be broken 5 down among the states and apportioned to the coun ties and ultimately tb.the indivi dual farmers. If the planters Ireject quotas, then they will get ho government price supports. - ' M {' i. The bill has a special provision for trends in cotton production, giving special weight to increased plantings in the west during tho last, three years. : \ j ,j'. Government Support Bolsters Price of Texas Cottonseed Aug. 5—<^P)—The price of Texas cottonseed rose $8 to $10 per ton, Rep. Poage (D-Tex) said yesterday, ^vith the announcement last week that the government planned to bolster the market, with a loan program. A member of the House Agricultural Committee,, the Nudist Say Bathing Suits ‘Provocative ’ Denver, Aug 4—hT)—Women nudists consider bathing suits— especially the French ones—"The most gex-prdvoejatiyc things in ex istence." This comes from Mildred of Topeka, Kas., who is attending the nudist conference near here. , .Mildred (they don’t use last names), interviewed yesterday in her nothing-at-all, explained: “They’re simply horrible, those French suits/ And they’re no good for swimming. You g , et out of the water and they’re soaking wet. The ■water dripp down ybur body. Ugh." Mildred said also that nudism was a handy thing aroumj the house. “I get twice as much housework done in the nude than when I’m wearing a hpusie dress. No clothes to bind me. I feel free." Ed, from Texas, supported Mild red’s arguments. He strode up during the interview, dressed hand somely in siiin yisor and shoes and Said: “Folks don’t understand our attitude. But shucks, you’d think you were in the dressingroom of any respectable igolf club if it weren’t for the mixed company, Now, wouldn’t you? I ask you?’-’ • ) " I I ?

In the bedroom she found Mn. Lewis —and a little Lewis, abouit to be born. Scared aihl trembling—"I’d nev er even.* rqad, a doctor’s book!" she confessed I later—30-year-ojd Mrs. Schiller did what had to be done. It was a girl. Mrs. Schiller slop ped its back. The baby began to wail. "I was so faint with relief. I slapped my own back,” Mrs. Schil ler related. “Then I looked around and—oh, o|h, oh! It was another baby coming. “I went to work again. I told Sol to cal! an ambulance, call the police, call somebody." Jt was another girl. She arrived at about the same time . as two policemen and a doctor, who took over. Texan had issued a statefliejit to the press on the.situation, quoting Agriculture Department officials to the effect that the Commodity Credit Corporation would initiate a price support program for dot- tonseed* "Details pf the program have hqt yet bceii definitely approved," Poage said in a new statement to day. “The announceriient of support plaijs, however, materially strengthened the market. I under stand that it has increased the price that farmers in South Texas are receiving for their seed from $8 to $10 a ton." The price in Texas has dropped to as low as $32 per ton I from war-time highs of $100, Poagp de clared, observing that the | pro posed loan will guarantee growers about $50 per ton. Qualifications for Loan In order to qualify for the loan, the Texan added, a farmer will be required to store his cottonsded in some approved storage space. This may be any public warehouse or farm storage in some instances.. Approval will be loft to the Iqcal county PMA committee. ! “It is assumed that any farm building with a grain proof roof and floor that will keep, seed dry will be adequate,” he continued. “Many structures thqt will not qualify for r wheat or grain! sor ghum will be satisfactory fpr the storage of cotton seed. The seed must have less than 10 percent moisture to qualify for a : loan. Most of our Texas seed normally runs less than that amount.’’] The various county PMA offices in cotton-growing areas will: be provided with a machine to deter- ,mine moisture cpntent. j! CCC Will Make Loans i Along with the loan program, he said, the Commodity Credit Corporation Will make loans up to 85 percent of the cost of stqrage space for farmers or farm groups which want to erect such facilities. They have to be repaid in five years. Poage said that farmers putting their cotton seed into the loan may withdraw! it at any time prior to April. 30, I960, jf the mtufket should rise up abqvO tho qmqunt they received. Otherwise, it is taken over by the government on Qiat date.
