G. 0. P. Group Urges Increase in Delegate 'Bonus' Plan in 1952

Sy th« Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-The

Republican convention's Rules Com- mittee decided today to increase the number of delegates who will nomi- nate the party's presidential candi- date in 1952

Clarence Budmgton Kelland. the aOthor who is Arizona national committeeman and chairman of the rules group, said the bonus to States lor election of Republican officials will be increased four years from now if this year's convention ap-

proves the rules changes. Under present rules, each State is

given a bonus of three delegates when it elects a Senator or votes a majority for the party's presiden- tial candidate. (Jnder the proposed new rule, each State which elected a Republican Governor or Senator, or voted a majority for the presi- dential candidate would get a bonus of six votes.

Rex Eaton. Colorado national committeeman, said the effect would be to lessen the influence of South- ern delegations in the selection of future GOP nominees.

The rules committee also recom-

mended that in future conventions the Virgin Islands be given one

delegate vote. It urged that the Puerto Rico vote be increased from two to three.

Under new rules, future conven-

tion nominating speeches would be limited to 15 minutes each. The rules group also urged that two

meetings of the National Execu- tive Committee be held yearly.

It recommended that the national chairman of the young Republican organization be made an ex-officio member of the national committee.

Bill to Stop Building Of Warships Signed.

By the Associated Press

President Truman yesterday signed a bill authorizing him to halt con-

struction work on 13 Navy war-

ships, including the battleship Ken- tucky.

The act nullifies for these ships 8 provision of an earlier law requir- ing that war vessels which were

more than 20 per cent complete as

of March 1, 1946. be completed. A Senate Armed Services Com-

mittee report recommending ap- proval of the bill said It would have the effect of suspending present ob- ligations against the Treasury amounting to more than $306,000,000 In construction costs.

The report added that it is in- tended that "a portion of this sum will be used, if appropriated, to in- stitute a new shipbuilding and con-

version program of advance-design Ships."

The appropriation, which has already been made, includes funds for the start of construction of a.

new super aircraft carrier capable of carrying jet bombers. •• in addition to the Kentucky, the. President, is authorized to stop the construction of the battle cruiser Hawaii, two destroyer escorts, seven

destroyers and two submarines. "The hulls of these vessels will

be useful as stand-by units which mav be readily adapted to such new

techniques' $nd armaments as may

be originated or perfected in the future," the Senate report noted.

Selection by Age to Replace Lottery System Under Draft

By John A. Giles A new system of age sequence will

replace the lottery in determining the order under which young men

are to be called into the service by authority of the draft bill passed last night by Congress.

Spokesmen for the office of Selec- tive Service Records admitted yes- terday the new method was com-

plicated and said a full explana- tion would be made as soon as the bill is signed by President Truman. Details of the new plan for de- termining draft numbers from dates of birth are still being worked out, it was said. National lotteries were

used in both world wars.

The new peacetime selective serv-

ice machinery will be well oiled in the 90-day period between the presidential signature and the dead- line in the compromise bill for the first inductions. While the bill be- comes effective when the President

signs it, no one can be inducted for 90 days.

4.000 Boards to Be Set Up. The Selective Service Records Of-

fice already has laid plans for the new organization, to include creation of 4,000 boards throughout the coun-

try. The new selective service organi-

zation will correspond roughly to that used in the last war except that it. will be smaller. There were

6.442 boards in World War II, but the new bill provides for the con-

solidation of many where the popu- lations are sparse.

National Guard and reserve offi- cers, already trained for setting up iust such an organization in an

emergency, will form the nucleus of the new setup. The Draft Records Office has been training them for the last year and,* half and they, in turn, will orientate the new draft officials.

Each State already has a plan for its selective service. State di- rectors will be appointed on the recommendations of the Governors.

Civilian Head Proposed. The national organization here

automatically will be composed of the present staff of the draft setup,

Major Draft Provisions By tH« Associated Prei*

Hpre are major provisions of the

compromise draft bill passed by Congress:

1 Men from 19 through 25 years can be drafted for 21 months' service with the Army, Navy, Marines or Air

Force. The Senate previously had

voted a two-year term, and the House one year.

2. Up to 161,000 18-year-olds may volunteer for one year of service with the regular forces. This was a

Senate ^provision developed as a

substitute for a separate universal military' training program.

3. The draft law becomes effective Immediately when signed by the President but no one can be inducted for 90 days. This is a compromise on a House provision that would have delayed any induction until

February 1. 1949. 4 ‘A Senate proposal for special

drafting of doctors, dentists and other members of the medical pro- fession as such was dropped. This was in line with the House bill, j However, doctors and dentists under 26 are subject to induction the same

as other registrants. Also subject to

call, aside from the draft bill, are

those doctors and dentists who com-

pleted education or received their training under wartime programs.

5. Over-all manpower strength of the armed forces is raised to 2.005.- 882. divided as follows: Army. 837,- 000: Navy and Marines, 666,882: Air Force, 502.000 These were the to-

tals voted by the House. The ap-

proximate strength of the armed services as of June 1 was: Army. 548,000: Air Force. 382.000: Navy, 389.000: Marines, 80 000.

6 A Senate proposal to enlist 25.- 000 aliens in the Army was dropped. They could have become citizens after five years' service. The House

had no such provision'. 7. Registration would be limited

to men 18 through 25 years and

could begin as soon as the bill be-

comes law. The House had pro-

posed a registration from 18 through: 30 years.

8. Most veterans of World War II

would be exempt. This includes those with more than one year ol

active service or 90 days' service between December 7. 1941. and VJ

day on September 2, 1945. This combines Senate and House pro- visions.

9. The bill provides for expansion of civilian components, including Reserves and the National Guard, whh draft deferments for those who are members of active Reserve units.

10. A special exemption is allowed to the only surviving son of families who lost sons in the last war.

11. Conscientious objectors could be placed on no-combat duty or.

If they objected to this, be deferred If the objection was found valid. This followed the House provisions

12. All draftees. 18 years old vol- unteers and other volunteers must

go into reserve pools Hiier com-

pleting active duty. The time for reserve liability can be reduced by serving in active reserve units such as the National Guard.

13. The President may defer necessary men" in industry, agri-

culture. science and other fields. Married men and those with de- pendents also would be deferred.

14. High school students would be deferred from draft until they grad- uate or reach 20 as long as they do satisfactory class work. College students could complete the school year before answering a draft call.

15. The President could seize plants and factories that failed to fill armed service orders at a fair price. This is similar to a wartime provision except purchasing officials are directed to give "small business" a share of Government contracts.

16. The Army and Air Force court- martial system would be revised as a result of numerous complaints about military justice during the last war. The House originally passed this as a separate bill.

17. Drafted men would have the same right to reclaim civilian jobs that existed under the wartime draft. Wartime absentee voting rights also would be extended to those in the armed services.

18. Men in the draft age group of 19 through 25 years also could en- list in the Regular Army for a period of 21 months. This lowered the period for regular enlistments which had been not less than two years.

19. A passing grade of 70 in gen; eral classification tests used to test volunteers must be accepted. This w as in line with a House provision. It resulted from complaints that the armed services had raised this pass- ing grade to 80 points to reject many volunteers.

20. The national selective service organization is re-established with a national director at $12,500 a year. It would operate much as it did dur- ing the war period, chiefly through volunteer local boards.

with the exception ot Ma.i. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, its director and the head of selective service in the last war. The new director must be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

There have been some demands in Congress that a civilian head the selective service this time but in- formed sources yesterday were in- clined to believe that President Truman would name Gen. Hershey to the post again in view of his experience.

Meanwhile, there was a possibility that the Army might not have enough doctors and dentists to ex-

amine and care for the additional personnel it will receive from the draft. It will be 1.000 doctors short by July 1 of the number it figures it needs to provide attention for its present 548,000 officers and men.

The overall strength would be ex-

panded to 837,000. Education Plan Discussed.

This situation revived talk in military circles of a-controversial plan for educating and training Its own personnel. This has been dis- cussed in previous years with the Navy and Public Health Service J)ut never favorably.

Another alternative would be obtaining the service of civilian doctors and dentists by contract. One version of the legislation had

provided for drafting doctors and dentists.

Thousands of reserve officers who have their applications on file for active duty in both the Army and Navy now stand a good chance of early acceptances. They will be needed to train the new draftees.

The unofficial but authoritative Army and Navy Journal estimated that 20.000 Army reserves who de- sire active duty would be accepted and an Army spokesman commented that it was a "good guess.” He emphasized that no reserve officer could be called without his consent under present legislation.

Rejections to be Cut. Lowing of the passing grade in

general classification tests—designed to determine a man's ability to learn—will decrease the percentage of rejections for this reason fiom approximately 14 to 8 per cent.

The Army had strongly opposed lowering the standards on the grounds that it would lower the morale, appearance and discipline

of our troops the world over.” However, it already has begun an

experiment at Fort Benning. Ga., 1 consisting of men below the ac-

cepted education standards but who had good records during the last war. An official said yesterday that first, preliminary reports on this ex-

periment showed that it was suc-

cessful. During the war the Army ac-

cepted men of a lower intelligence level than at present but its vast numbers enabled it to offset this dis- advantage, it was said.

Gen. Julius Howell Dies at 102; Was Last of Longstreet's Corps

Served for Two Terms As Commander of Confederate Veterans

Gen. Julius F. Howell, 102-year- old former commander In chief of the United Confederate Veterans, died last night at his home In Bris- tol, Va.. after an Illness of three weeks, according to the Associated Press.

The former president of Virginia Intermont College was known as

the last survivor of Longstreet's Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. His birthdiy on January 17 was celebrated as "Gen. Howell Day."

Gen. Howell was well known here and last came to Washington in June, 1947, when he and his wife flew here to take part in Confed- erate memorial exercises.

Born on a farm near Suffolk. Va.. the son of a country minister, he enlisted in the Confederate forces at 15 and served as a courier to two

I generals. He was a corporal in Gen longstreet's Corps at the end of the war. His title as general stems from his two terms as national commander of the United Confed- erate Veterans in 1939 and 1940.

He was captured two days before Appomattox, he recalled here last year, and as a result, he spent 60 days as a prisoner of war at Point Lookout.

A Confede-ate to the end. Gen. Howell visited here in 1940 and bowed from the waist to kiss tne hand of Olivia de Haviland. who had a leading role in the movie

i "Gone with the Wind" which had just been released. He said she was "a real Southern lady.”

Again in 1946, Gen. Howell came to Washington to help observe the 139th anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis whom he called "a very sensible and direct man

After the Civil War, he attended Harvard and the University of Penn- sylvania, earning degrees as master of arts in history and a doctor of law.

He served as a school superin- tendent in Arkansas after that, and was later appointed to the chair of history at the University of Arkan- sas. He subsequently became presi- dent of the Mountain Home (Ark.l Baptist College.

In 1901 he went to Bristol as presi- dent of Virginia Intermont College. When he retired at Intermont, he

! entered the insurance business, and actively conducted his insurance agency until recently.

In addition to his work with in- surance, he was active in religious, 'educational and other activities of

His 102nd birthday was the occa- sion for a celebration in which for- mer movie star Mary Pickford, Gov. Tuck of Virginia and Gov McCord of Tennessee, Mrs. Helen Dortch Longstreet, widow of Gen James A. Longstreet all took part.

His acquaintanceship with Miss Pickford began in 1940 when they both attended the dedication of s

memorial to Gen. Longstreet on the battlefield at Gettysburg. She gave a reception for him'at her "Pick- fair" estate in 1940 when, at the age of 98, he fiew, to Caifomia.

A.C. Roebuck,84, Dies; Was Cofounder of Mail Order Firm

■y *t>« Auociatad Pr«»

CHICAGO, June 10.—Alvah C. Roebuck, 84, who gave his name to! the mall order house that produced one of America's largest fortlines, died last night.

The big fortune was not Mr. Roe- i buck's but that of Julius Rosenwald; who bought out his interest in the ; firm of Sears, Roebuck „Co. in 1895.

Mr. Roebuck continued in other business efforts until 1917. He in- vested his money in Florida real estate, and his holdings, were all but wiped out by the collapse of the boom in the 1930s and the de- pression of the '30s finished him. He became an employe of the com-

pany he helped found. A reserved, neat little man with his hair parted in the middle, he sat near the door of one of the company’s annual sales conventions at a desk with a

sigg on it—“meet the founder." Most of the employes had thought

the Roebuck of the firm's name was dead.

It was Richard W. Sears who got, him in the mail order business. Mr. Roebuck, who was a watchmaker in Hammond, Ind., probably would have had a quiet and comfortable career repairing watches in a jew- elry shop window had he not an- swered Mr. Sears’ want ad for a

watchmaker. That was in 1887. They eventually became partners.

Mr. Sears had been a railway sta- ition clerk at Redwood Falls, Minn. ! A case of watches arrived for a local jeweler who refused to accept

ithem. Mr. Sears queried the manu-

; facturer on what should be done. “Sell them,” was the reply. Mr.

ALVAH CURTIS ROEBUCK. —AP Photo.

Sears wrote letters offering the

i watches at a very low price and bags of mail containing money came

: pourigg in. He had to buy more

watches to fill the orders. He went into the business of selling watches by mail, but he needed a watch- maker to repair those that came

back—thus the ad. Alvah Roebuck Was uncomfortable

with the dynanjic Sears. In 1893 he wanted to leave the business which had gone far beyond the sale of watches, but Mr. Sears persuaded him to stay on in charge of watches, I jewelry, optical goods and phono- graphs.

About this time. Mr Sears decided that he could sell clothing by mail. He went to the firm of Rosenwald & Weil and made a contract. The volume made Julius Rosenwald, pres- ident of the clothing firm, realize the possibilities of mail order mer-

chandising. He bought out Mr. Roe- buck's interest and joined the man-

agement, first as vice president. It was then that Sears, Roebuck began to snowball into a national insti- tution.

back on the Berlin road milled about the highway. 1

Further south, on the Soviet- American zone border, German trav- ( elers said the Russians had posted ( tanks and armored cars and had some of their patrols in trenches. j

Late tonight the Russians de- , tached 15 cars from a British-spon- sored freight train and sent them back to the British zone. The cars,

containing German mail for Berlin, were inadequately documented, the Russians said.

Freight Rigidly Inspected. Rail and water freight traffic from

the West was subject to rigid in- spection by the Russians, who ap- parently feared that cargoes or the baggage of train crews might hide bundles of cash. Slow inspection measures at the zonal border caused a rail jam more than 60 miles, from Helmstedt back to Hannover, British officials said.

Only four trains reached Berlin this morning in a period in which eight or nine normally would arrive.

The Autobahn at Helmstedt was

a scene of confusion. Long columns of cars and trucks, refused per- mission to crass the line, were

drawn up. Hundreds of Germans milled about, and other hundreds camped on the grass beside the highway.

For the first time since thev tightened border controls in April, the Russians also were refusing to pass American, British, French and other Allied travelers and military personnel on the motor highway.

Plane Schedules Expanded. I American and British authorties, arranged expanded plane schedules' to bring in their stranded travelers from the west.

Admiral Andrews Dies at 69; Commanded Fight on U-Boats

Served Tours of Dufy Here as Naval Aide At White House

Vice Admiral Adolphus Andrews. IUSN, .retired, who served three Presidents as naval aide, and com-

manded the Eastern Sea Frontier when Nazi submarines brought the; war to American coastal waters ! died yesterday at 69 in the Naval Hospital at Houston. Tex.

Funeral services will be held in Dallas, but definite arrangements have not been completed.

Admiral Andrews served many! tours of duty in Washington, in- cluding White House assignments under Presidents Theodore Roose- velt, Harding and Coolidge, although most of his 44 years in the Naw were devoted to sea duty and foreign posts.

Perhaps his most challenging task was to organize a defense against the German submarines which took ad- vantage of America’s unpreparedness in the early years of World War II to launch an all-out attack on ship- ping on this side of the Atlantic.

Awarded D. S. M. For his work as chief of the critical

Eastern Sea Frontier from January, 1942, to November, 1943, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. Later he served as head of the Navy's manpower survey board and as a member of the Pearl Har- bor court of inquiry. After his permanent retirement in June, 1945, he was appointed Red Cross Com- missioner for the Pacific area and remained on this duty almost a year.

Known to his friends for his energy and enterprise, the admiral developed business interests in his native Texas, and since his retire- ment from active service he had been president of a wholesale grocery in Dallas. He owned an of- fice building there and also headed the Andrews Investment Co.

The admiral is survived by his wife, the former Bernice W. Plat- ter of Denison, Tex.: two children, Mrs. Frances A. Dillingham of Honolulu, and Adolphus Andrews, Jr., of Fort Worth: and three grand- children, Frances Elizabeth, Gaylord and Benjamin Dillingham,

Attended Geneva Parley. Admiral Andrews was a member

of the American delegation at the Geneva preparatory rcm—' >. on

the limitation of : nnrr.'r.us in 1926 and 1927, a work later undone by the aggressive aims of Germany, Italy and Japan.

Early in his career he was sent to the White House for a tour of duty as aide to President Theodore Roosevelt. He later served as com- mander of the presidential yacht

ADMIRAL ANDREWS. —Navy Photo.

Mayflower for four years, and ac-

companied President Harding on

his final and fatal tour of Alaska, He continued as aide to President Coolidge.

Near the end of World War I, Admiral Andrews was assigned as

naval aide to Prince Axel of Den- mark during the latter's Visit to the United States. He saw duty during that war as assistant chief of staff of the commander of the Atlantic fleet.

The Naval expansion which fol- lowed Hitler's rise to power brought Admiral Andrews tl\e post of com-

mander of the Scouting Force in 1938. with the accompanying rank of Vice Admiral.

Decorated by Brazil. Besides the Distinguished Service

Medal. Admiral Andrews was deco- rated by the government of Brazil, and held the Spanish Campaign Medai, the Mexican Campaign Medal, and the victory Medal with the Atlantic fleet clasp.

A native of Galveston, Admiral Andrews atended high school in Dallas and the University of Texas before entering the Naval Academy, from which he graduated in 1901. His first service was aboard the battleship Maine, successor to the vessel whose sinking in Havana harbor precipitated the war with Spain.

He later served on the battleships Utah, Oklahoma. Mississippi and Texas. Then followed a series of im- portant and strategic assignments. He was chief of staff of the Naval War College, chief of staff of the commander of the battle force, chief of staff of the commander of the United States fleet, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, and finally commander of the Scouting Force.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. June 1». Eugene Meyer, owner of the Wash-

ington Poet, said tonight, the Mar-

shall Plan is consistent with the

American spirit that "something must be done" to save a bad situa- tion.

Mr. Meyer, a former president of the World Bank, spoke at the 14th annual National Headliners Awards dinner where he received one of 30 awards for Journalistic achievement

during 1947. The prize was for outstanding

public service in his paper's com- plete explanation of the Marshall Pan.

Asserting that without American aid the "virile, aggressive, expand- ing Communist regimes were des- tined to take over bankrupt, in- solvent and spiritless Western Eu- rope,” Mr. Meyer told the more than 200 members of the newspaper, news-

reel, radio and magazine professions that some of the disasters that threatened Europe may yet come to pass.

“But they will not now come to pass unresisted, unobstructed and unopposed,” he said.
