Draft Act Maly
Die Next June!
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

"Similar legislation has been

•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

announcement last week that the government planned to
bolster the market, with a loan program.

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?’-’

Very Little Help
New York—<#*)—“Help!" Plead
ed Sol Lewis of the Bronx.
So upstairs scurried Mrs. Nonna
Schilldr, friend and neighbor. 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.
