bombardment of Europe into

Washington, April 28. (UP)
—Senator Burton K. Wheeler
(D.-Mont.) today introduced
a bill to grant permanent draft
exemption, regardless of occu-
pation, to pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers 30 or older and plac-
ing younger pre-war fathers at
the bottom of the call list.
The measure also stipulates
that when a general demobili-
zation is ordered family heads
must be released ahead of
other men so far as compatible
with military operations.
The bill would enact into
law the present selective serv
ice policy of- inducting men
from 18 to 26 ahead of other
categories, but it would re-
quire that pre-war fathers in
that age group could not be
drafted ahead of non-fathers
at the same age level.

post office has dispatched 20.-

ers of war in Europe.
