WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1950 WttAtt DAILY JOUIINAL, UKIAII, CALIFOUNIA PAGE NINE What's New in Washington Ity lliirmon NICIIUIH WASHINGTON (UP) What's iicw In Wnshlnglon; A lot of our lenders in the government were In mellow mood over the holldnyE. Folks were encouraged to take some of (heir nn- aual leave. High officials were nnlng from office to office wlth- leaving word with their secro- 'Ihrlos. A lot of important lunches started early and ran Into home time. Reporters not only couldn't find many vvhccls, there hardly was a cog arodnd.

oual One of our reporters was trying to smoke out the swlno section of the Department of Agriculture on little item. He was (old his contact was on leave. Our sncmpcr was asked to call back the next day and he did. The pig man had checked in and went straight away on leave again. A second lieutenant was recommended--fhe man with all the answers.

That answer man was on leave, loo. A third man was suggested and you- all can guess whore he was. On leave. All our conscientious wanted to know was whether a sow could, it she worked hard at It, have three llt- ters of pigs a year. It was good question.

Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey was at a party around yuletide and slopped a messenger boy and said: "Haven't 1 seen you before, The "boy" said, "Howdy, sir, you sure did." Turned out it was 30 years ago when Humphrey wiis a horse judge at Warrenlon, Va. It was a nice reunion.

Estes Kefauver of Tennessee gets all kinds of offers from the makers of coonskin liats. asking him to be mugged and put in the magazines. He turns all of them down.

But he gets a lot of fan mall from small fry, too young to cast a ballot wanting to know where the hats with the talis attached can bo bought. The senator answers every last one. Harrison Wells MeConnell almost became a victim of one of (hose "non-inflammable" Christmas trees over the holidays. The tree decided to violate its notices and caught fire. The "judge barely escaped without a singed hide.

The local papers loported tlie incident, but nolwdy mentioned that McConncll. ngcd 70, was an assistant attorney general under both Presidents Calvin Coolldge and Herbert limner. The American Automobile As- reports this one from its Dolroll office. It actually happened. There was a collision between an automobile and a submarine.

The submarine "Tambcr" was tied up there. The lirnkos on the car failed and down the hill she went winding up practically on the deck of the submarine. Dealers around the Washington area claim that they had more Christmas trees left over than any time in the oldest dealer's memory. They say it was a matter of a rumor alxiul crop from the West that prompted them to buy more than they needed from the North. Anyhow, trees were give-aways as early as the Friday before Christmas in a lot of places.

WASHINGTON (UP) Alxml 1,200,000 youths will come of military ago tills year. What are their cliances of seeing military service? During the only aliout 1 out of of this "new crop will go Ir.lo regular or ri'scrve units. Hut ihe chances are about 7 out of 9 that the qualified youths will be put in uniform somclimc before they reach ago either voluntarily or involuntarily. Such odds do not jibe with the popular imjiression. With drult iralls falling to the lowest ievol since the siiirl of tin- Kon-iui Wiir, many youllis seem to have cdMie to Ihe conclusion that Ihe oilds luo in favor of escaping iiiililaiy service altogether.

Hero is how the ncfcnso Depail- iiienl experts ligure the odds by placing tlie numlicr moii needed by llio niililiiiy duiiiiu Ihe yeiir versus the number qualified for mijitiiry siM-vioe-. Inuring the coining year, aluml youth.i will turn IS'- the niilil.iiy draft age. Of lliis group about LMO.OOO will be qualifiod for miiilary service on physic.il, mental or moral grounds.

And during the coming llie miiilary to take in 700,001) persons Irom civilian life either through draft or onlislmeni to meet tholr manpower needs.

Thus the 7 in odds. It is true thai most of the 700,000 to bo taken in Iliis year will i -ome from older age groups. Hut Ihe )dds will catch up Willi the new crop in future years. Defense experts ceded that the probability is that the W'i yoar old will noi lie dinlt- ed immediately. Dralt Ixiards now are inducting men at an average age of iK-lsveeii 22 and 2X ami in so.mo states the age has gone up over 21, Willi the present thai youth will see n'ilitary service, how can he tullill his military olv ligation? The new Hoseivo I.aw Iiassed by Congress last summer oix'ned several nvi-nucs ol military service.
