The plan was offered by Rep. Sparkrrmn (D-Ala) in an effort to break the deadlock over the House's repeated refusal to vote for teen-age draft and the Senate's insistence thai, thu teen-agers be Inducted to relieve men with long service records. Spnrkman's plan would prohibit the armed forces from sending 18- year-olds overseas unless they volunteered, but would allow them to he drafted for service in the United States.

It would not affect the status of 19-year-olds, who now may be sent overseas if they were inducted prior to last May 15. Prior to last May 15, the services were. permitted. to draft teenagers for service anywhere, but Congress, in passing a resolution extending the draft law until June 30, prohibited induction of any teenagers, regardless of where they were to be used.

The conferees hope to reach a final agreement this week and submit it to the Senate and the House for approval. Mrs. Alice Georgia Funeral Services Funeral services for Mrs. Alice Georgia, 77, who died Saturday at Alton Woman's Home, were con- at 11 a. m.
