C., July 12.— (NWNS)—When the war first started it used to be referred to consistently as an all-out war in which every man and woman in the country would be called upon to play an equally vital part. But as wartime regulations were worked out and refined, it began to look to observers here more and more like other wars in which some groups are excused from service to their country, others are able to make profits out of war and millions are sort of in-between — doing a little, but not enough to make them feel that the war has required real personal sacrifice from them. But the President’s request for a law to draft men up to 65 for non-combat duty has brought things back to that all-out status. If miners who strike can be drafted into the army, it is pointed out by military leaders, it will follow that anyone who abuses wartime regulations and shows an unwillingness to play his part can also be forced to per form the task which the govern ment feels will be most helpful toward winning the war. Some congressmen question whether a new law making it possible to draft miners into the army for war work is necessary, for they say that the War Man power commission has the power right now to assign any man in the country to any kind of work. But whether the Manpower group has that authority or not, it hasn’t been utilized and 4t is doubtful if it could be carried out practically without making use of the army draft. Although the President hasn’t been too definite about the word ing of the law he would like to have, it is obvious that if a law SIMON were passed making it possible to draft all miners under 65, that law would apply to other groups as well and would make many family heads, now exempt from the draft, eligible for service. In general, the President’s re quest for such a measure has act ed as a “go” signal to a congress which has been champing at the bit waiting for some guidance as to what type of legislation could be enacted which would end strikes and end other abuses of war time regulations. It is quite likely that the con gress will pass a stronger law than the President had in mind, since it is obvious here that con gress for a long time has wanted to take strong action against rebels. This action of the President’s, incidentally, is the third demon stration within a few months of the power which the public still wields in this country. The pub lic has been so insistent on hav ing something done about the miners that congress finally put through an anti-strike bill which had been around for almost two years. Then the President recom mended even stronger legislation. Before that, congress passed and the President signed a pay-as- you-go tax, even though congres sional leaders and the President had previously indicated that they were opposed to this legisla tion. There is a strong feeling here that the people of the country are suddenly being heard more clearly than they have been in a long time. Congressmen watch their mail and their home town papers with greater interest than they used to.

Ear Columbia, July 13. — Merchants with odd lots of shoes will soon have a chance to sell them to their customers without requiring stamps, the State Office of Price Administration announces today. The plan will permit merchants to sell a certain percentage of their shoes based on the number of pairs they had on hand on April 10, less the number they had on hand July 6. The figures are 1 per cent for men’s and boys’ shoes, 4 per cent for wom en’s shoes, 2 per cent for misses, children, and infants’ shoes, and 2 per cent of other rationed shoes. A merchant may not charge more than TO per cent ab ve the cost of the iJioes. And such shoes sold must be marked “odd lot” within each pair before the-shoes leave the store. These ration free shoes, which include obsolete sizes, close outs, and other left overs, must be sold between July 19 and July 31, inclusive, the OPA says, but after that date, the shoes must be returned to the regular stock and sold for ration currency. Retailers whose sales were prin cipally by mail order, and whole salers and manufacturers must apply to the State Office of Price Administration for such forms in order to be eligible un der the new rule. But merchants who from February 7 to April 10 sold more than 50 per cent of their shoes in rationed footwear are eligible without any special permits. James A. Harvley Claimed By Death Jamds A.
