WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-(0)- A
grimly war-conscioucs Congress today
took the initial step toward permitting
the nation's armed forces-selectees
as well as regulars-to fight in any
part of the world,
The Senate and House Military
Committees approved legislation to
eliminate the present teritorial re-
strictions, and to permit retention in
service of all fighting forces for the
duration of the war. Both steps were
requested by the War Department.
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Na-
6ional Selective Service Director, said
in Chicago there is a "strong possibil-
ity" tlat Congress will lower the mini-
mum draft age from 21 to 18 and that
men deferred because they were 28 or
over may be called up.
He reported reclassifying of selec-
tees deferred because of occupation
was already under consideration and
that reclassifying of men deferred be-
cause of dependents may be taken up
later.
Meanwhile the House completed
and sent to President Roosevelt's desk
a bill to freeze naval enlistments for
six months beyond the duration of
the war.
Chairnan May (Dem.-Ky.) of the
House Military Committee said the
new measure, relating to overseas ser-
vice, would be brought to the House
floor tomorrow, and its passage
sought immediately under suspension
of rules.
It would nullify two provisions of
the Selective Service Act, now pre-
venting use of selectees outside the
Western Hemisphere or their reten-
tion in service beyond 30 months.
Subject of weeks of acrimonious
argument during movement of the
Selective Service bill through Con-
gress,.the two changes were approved
unanimously by the Committee after
but little more than two hours' study.

Student Group
Seeks Clothing
In Loccal Drive
Working with a purposeful swift-
ness to offset the turmoil created by
war, a student group here has al-
eady responded to the needs of the
country during the emergency.
The group, as yet unnamed and
possessing no titles, has risen spon-
taneously to join in a drive with the
local Salvation Army, Red Cross and
Friends Service Committee to supply
needy civilians with plenty of warm
clothing.
Stating the purpose of this newly
formed organization, a spokesman for
them pointed out that regardless of
what students' beliefs were before
the war, here was something they
could all work for.
Opposing the legendary "ivory tow-'
er" attitude, these students believe in
"constructive aid to the country now,
instead of the sort of hysteria ex-
pressed in the last war."
The clothing, which is being col-
lected by numerous campus groups
and independent students, and which
will be distributed by the three above
mentioned organizations, will be col-
lected by 12 noon this Saturday. It
will be distributed in time for Christ-
mas.
All three coordinating organizations
are known for their impartiality in
helping unfortunates; the Salvation'
Army in its aid to transients, the Red
Cross in its community work, and the
quaker Friends Service Committee
in its national ,and international
work.
During the. German invasion of
Poland in 1939, the Quakers demand-
ed that the food and clothing they
were sending over to the Poles be
given to Jews as well as Gentiles;
at first the Germans refused, but the:
Quakers kept insisting until they:
won their point.a
The group will also try and make
the clothes look as neat and new as
is possible. At present an effort is'
being made to obtain the aid of the
tailors and cleaners in town to im-
prove the appearance of the collected'
garments. .
Regardless of whether there is
"peace on earth" or not, these stu-
dents have remembered the words
"good will towards men" and with this
in mind ask the cooperation of all to
join in the true Christmas spirit whilel
helping their counitry.

Spirited Cooperation Is Keynote
For Christmas Bureau Aetivities
By CLAYTON DICKEY
The Christmas Bureau, now in its I
second week of existence, has already
received the enthusiastic response of
the University and the community,
Mrs. Arthur W. Bromage, of the
publicity committee, announced yes-I
terday.
Among the 24 city organizations
which have pledged cooperation with
the Bureau are women's clubs,'
church and civic groups and other
social welfare agencies.
The University organizations co-
operating with the Bureau include
the Residence Halls, Panhellenic As-
sociation and the League.
The League will be the first Uni-
versity group to begin its program
of Christmas giving under the Bu-
reau's guidance. A large decorated
tree will be placed in the lobby Sat-
urday. Students and faculty mem-
bers are urged to place under the
tree packages of toys, clothing or
other gifts, which will be distributed
among the children at University
Hospital.
The Christmas Bureau was organ-
ized to provide a clearing house for
Yuletide charity so as to avoid dupli-
cation and to bring about a more
equitable distribution of aid. Em-
phasizing the importance of family
solidarity, the Bureau endeavors to
arrange donations so that parents can
play the role of giver, thus perform-
ing their normal functions in family
life.
A further feature of the, Bureau is
Federal Agent.
To Speak Here
John Bugas Will Discuss
Employment Tomorrow
tJohn S. Bugas, Special Agent in
charge of the Detroit field office of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
will speak on employment in the Bu-
reau at 3- p.m. tomorrow in Room
150 Hutchins Hall.
His remarks will be addressed par-
ticularly to members of the senior
class of the Law School, but all who
are interested will be welcome. tr.
Bugas will give special "attention to
business and legal problems with
which the Bureau must deal in the
course of its investigation.
The opportunity for employment is
of interest to anyone considering in-
vestigational work. It does not in-
volve the trial of law suits, but it
does include the assembling of evi-
dence for use of Federal district at-
torneys.
its ability to supply confidential in-
formation to donors, which will give
aid its utmost value. A typical case
is that of a family with a 12-year-
old son, who would rather be a boy
scout than have all the play equip-
mnent in the world. A prospective
donor, informed by the Bureau of
this fact, would be able to contribute
far more to the development and
Shappiness of the boy by making pro-
vision to pay his duies and to supply
him with the minimum equipment
than it would by gising him less
meaningful things.
Medical Croup Studies
New Type Of Drug
"'The Sulfonamides," new type of
drug which is proving of benefit in
treating many forms of disease, was
discussed at a meeting of the Wash.-
tenaw County Medical Society yes-
teday in the Union.
The application of this sensational
new medical discovery, introduced
only two years ago, in their various
fields Was discussed by Dr. William
Valk, of the Urology Department of
the Hospital, Dr. James Maxwell, of
the Otology Department, and Dr.
Henry Ransom, of the General Sur-
gery Department.
At this meeting, the annual business
meeting of the society, President Dr.

Service, turned over his office to the

"This is an old trick of propaganda,
which has been used innumerable
times by the Nazis," the President
said. "The purposes of such fan-
tastic claims are, of course, to spread
fear and confusion among us, and
to goad us into revealing military in-
formation which our enemies are
desperately anxious to obtain.")
He promised that facts would not
be hidden from the country if the,
fact were Vgown and if the enemy
would not be helped by their dis-
closure. ,
He warned the press and radio they
had no right to "deal out uncon-
firmed reports" in such way as to
make people believe they were the
truth.
As he had suggested at a' press con-
ference earlier in the day, Mr. Roose-
velt spoke of the vital need for great-
ly expanding America's industrial
strength and capacity to meet the
demands of modern warfare.

NWASIHINGTON, Dec. 9.-(IP)-Bit-
ter criticism of the Arm and Navy
defenders of Hawaii; coupled with a
threatened demand for court-martial
proceedings against the top-ranking
officers involved, flared in the House
today but brought a storm of rebuke
on the heads of the critics.
Representative Dingell D. -Mich)
touched 'off the fir'eworks when he
announced his intention to demand!
the courtmartials to "determine' the
guilt or innocence in the matter of
the Hawaiian Air Forces."
Specifically mentioned by Dingell
for courtmartial were Admiral Hus-
band E. Kimmel, Commander-in-
Chief of the Pacific Fleet; Lt. Gen.
Lester C. Short, Commanding the
Hawaiian department of the Army;
Maj. Gen. H. H. Arnold, deputy chief
of staff for air; Maj. Gen. George
H. Brett, chief of the Army Air Corps
and Maj. Gen. Fred L. Martin, chief
of the Hawaiian Air Force.
Chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.) of the
House Naval Committee denounced
Dingell's action a short time later
as "nothing but a cheap effort to
get newspaper publicity."

President Roosevelt. Peru already had
frozen Japanese funds, and Bolivia
was considering like action. I
Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Ur-I

to call a conference of the foreign
ministers of all 21 American repub-

toward Japan. The meeting is ex-
