Washington, Mar. 13.—Hie house
armed services committee refused
today to tie onto the draft and-uni
versal military training bill a rule
against sending American troops to
Europe without the direct consent
of congress.
The vote was 21 to 14 to table
an amendment by Representative
Towe (R-NJ.). There is no debate
on such a motion. There were
strong indications, however, that
heated discussion of the Republican
backed plan was 6nly postponed
until the legislation comes up in the
house itself.
That may come this week, Chair
man Vinson (D-Ga.) who announced
today’s action after a closed meet
ing, said he hopes to get the bill
out of the committee tomorrow.
The tabling of the Towe amend
ment, presumably killing it as far
as the committee is concerned, got 1
one of the last big obstacles out of j
the way of final action on the meas-1
ure by the committee.
That group, considering the bill
section by section, already has j
stamped approval on its provisions
lowering the draft age from 19 to
18 1-2 years, extending draftee’s I
service from 21 to 26 months, and j
setting up a universal training pro
gram to take effect when the pres- i
ent emergency need for actual serv-!
ice by draftees has passed.
The senate has passed a generally
similar bill for drafting at 18. with ;
those nearest 19 to’go first, and a|
service term of 24 months.
Perhaps the highest hurdle re
maining in the bill’s house commit
tee path is a section, already in
it, setting a ceiling of 4,000,000 on
manpower in the nation’s armed
forces.
'Vinson said he will move to strike
out that provision, which the ad
ministration strongly opposes as a
source of danger in case of a major
emergency and a tip-off to the Rus
sians on what they might have to
face if they should attack.
On the other hand there is back
ing, mostly Republican, for a limit
of 3,500,000 men and women. The
senate has settled for 4,000,000.
Towe wants to cut to 3,2000,000,
which is below the defense depart-
! ment’s goal of 3,462,000 by this sum-
! mer.
That disagreement is likely to
come up quickly tomorrow when
the commitee gets together in an
: effort to finish its task.
Sericea Lespedeza
Fits Well Into Hay
And Grazing Prorgams
By J. B. O'DELL
During the next six weeks many
farmers can establish a source of
perennial hay and grazing on their
farms by planting steep or low pro-
producing land to sericea lespedeza.
Experience of farmers in this
section indicates that larger yields
are obtained the second year from
plantings made in late March, Ap
ril and early May than from later
plantings. Although sericea may
be planted 1 through July,
Over 1800 acres were planted
to sericea on district farms last
year, according to the annual re
port of the District Soil Conserva
tion supervisor.
Ryan F. Lawson, chairman of
the board of supervisors, said:
“Sericea fits well into the hay and
graing program on most of our
farms. One big advantage of seri
cea is that it will grow on land too
poor for most other hay and for
age crops.”
J. Ben Hunter, Jr., beef cattle
farmer of the Lanford Station sec
tion, has 65 acres of sericea that he
has been using for grazing for sev
eral years. Mr. Hunter says, “If
cows are turned on sericea when it
is young and tender in the spring
or as new growth starts after mow
ing, they will graze it fine. Occas
ional mowing will keep plants ten
der for grazing.”
Mr.-Hunter also said that another
reason he likes sericea is because
it will stand dry weather. His
cows can graze sericea during pe
riods of drought and stay in good
condition. This enables him to pro
tect his permanent pasture against
serious over-grazing. When weath
er conditions are such that sericea
is not needed for grazing, it can be
put for hay.
Mr. Hunter has 40 acres of seri
cea that is overseeded with fescue
for winter and spring grazing.
Mr. Hunter remarked, “My cows
are now grazing fescue that is
growing on sericea. They will
graze fescue until the sericea
starts coming through. Then they
will £raze both the sericea and
fescue. When dry weather stops
the growth of fescue the cows keep
right on grazing the sericea”
This young, progressive farmer
thinks well of this combination
which allows him to use the same
land for both winter and summer
grazing without replowing or re
seeding. However, it should be
fertilized each year with 500 lbs.
per acre of a 3-12-12 or similar fer
tilizer and limed according to the
needs of the land.
Mr. Hunter is a member of the
Ora Community group which is
competing in the Piedmont Com
munities Soil Conservation contest.
