For Aluminum Set
For Next Tuesday
Scout Troops To Moke
Town-Wide Drive.
Housewives Asked
To Cooperote.
Three Boy Scout troops of Clinton,
under the direction of their scout
masters, have set next Tuesday for
the collection of aluminumware in
the interest of national defense.
Troops Nos. Ill and 41, headed by
Scoutmasters Hugh Eargle and Shir
ley Timmons, will canvass the city
proper, while the Clinton Cotton
Idills community will be canvassed
by Troop 42 of that community un
der the direction of Scoutmaster
Clark Meadors.
A bin in the business section will
be provided by the Chamber of Com
merce $nd Lions club for the alumi
num collection, it was stated yester
day.
In announcing the local drive the
scoutmaster* are asking the cooper
ation and' help of the entire com
munity. All persons having old alum
inum utensils they are willing to give | saw foe full force of the administra-
for this cause, are asked to place ;tion thrown into the fi^t to retain

tinqp of knocking at each door in In a letter to Speaker Rayburn;
" Under Secretary of War Robert Pat
terson asserted that the president not
j up for one year of serv’ice are dis
charged at toe end of that time, he
said, two-thirds of the army will be
gone.
I would have to be replaced by an
equivalent proportion of untrained
men, he continued, adding that this
was why the situation was so serious.
He challenged directly the argu
ment of those who have said that
since the men were called for one
3Eear it wouM be breaking faith not
to release them when the year is up.
As a matter of fact,.he said, the draft
law specified that they were to be
kept in training longer than that if
either one of two things happened
These, he said, were the declara
tion of a national emergency by con
gress or the enactment of amend
ments to toe present law. Not know
ing what the situation would be at
the end of k year, congress made
these conditions, and the men were
inducted with these possible changes
in mind.
Consequently, he said, the whole
contract they made with the govern
ment included the possibility that
they would be required to remain
under arms for more than a single
year. For that reason, in his opinion,
no question of breaking faith was
involved.
The responsibility, he said, was up
to coi^gr^.

ments near the end of a day that
