authority to draft 18 yean olds, and extension of draft service from 21 to 24 months was voted today by the senate preparedness subcommittee. Further, the committee approved the idea of a modified "foreign legion" proposal, under which up to 125,000 "carefully screened" foreigners could enlist in the U. S. army during the next five years. Chairman Lyndon Johnston Texas) said the vote on the 18- year-olds plan in the subcommittee, a branch of the senate armed services committee, was 7 to 1.

Senator Morse dissented. Under this plan, draft boards would have to take all available men in tho present 19 to 25 age group, before drafting any 18 year olds. Then, they would have to take first those nenring the age of 19, such as those 18 years and 9 months old. In voting to extend the draft service from the present 21 months, the senate group decided to put the total of 24 months not counting leave time. A serviceman's leave time accumulates at a rate of a month, each year.

Thus, if he took his leave his service would extend 2 years, 2 months and about a week. The Pentagon had asked a 27 month minimum service. It also had asked flat permission to draft 18-year-olds. The legislation now goes to the full armed services committee headed by Chairman Russell The seven affirmative votes today--a majority of that group--apparently assured it would reach the senate. The seven senators voting "aye" today were Chairman John son, Chapman Hunt Stennis Bridges Saltonstall and Flanders Under the plan of using foreigners in the army, not more than 25,000 could be enrolled in any one Western Slope Balks Over New Water Project Denver, Feb.

9--M--A deadlock developed today in Colorado's water conservation board, preventing approval of operating principles for the $146,000,000 proposed Frying Pan-Arkansas reclamation project. Two western Colorado board members flatly refused to approve the wording of one sentence in the principles unless directors of conservation districts In their areas approve them. The two were Judge Dan Hughes of Montrose and Dan Hunter of Dove Creek. The action obviously angered of the next five years. Johnson said this "actually would not be a foreign legion" because the men would be fitted into regular army units.

After five years' service they would he eligible to ask for citizenship. Johnson said this provision was a combination of separate and differing proposals urged by Senators Edwin C. Johnson and Senator Lodge The chairman emphasized it "is not intended as a substitute for the 18 year old draft." Federal Court Rules in Favor Of Cattlemen San Feb. 9--IB--A federal court decision here may mean the return of several million dollars in taxes to California cattle ranchers. set a precedent for other states, too.

Federal Judge Louis E. Goodman ruled that Millie Mitchell of Vallecita, Calaveras county, was entitled to a refund of federal taxes paid on sales bulls, cows and heifers from her breeding herd. For years cattlemen have argued Lhat they are entitled to capital gains exemptions on breeding stock they soil out of their herds. They liuve contended a breeding herd is the same thing as factory equipment, or an industrial plant. Judge Goodman, citing recent court rulings, agreed with them.

"If time is taken, no one of us down here will be responsible for any action any of those cities might take," declared Charles of Denver, attorney for the Southeast Colorado Water Users With Director Clifford H.

Stone and ex-Gov. Teller Ammons acting as peacemakers, the board finally agreed to meet again Feb. 22 to vote on the operating principles. Both said they wanted a unanimous vote. The decision means that a port on the huge project, which would bring western slope water the Arkansas valley, will have to be made by (the regional reclamation director, Avery Batson, without a statement that the state's water board approves.

The board was told both by Stone and Batson that the report must go in next Monday. Batson said, however, he would forward the water board's action as soon as possible. The fight developed over a change in wording in one section relating to storage in the Aspen reservoir. The Aspen reservoir, to hold 28,000 acre feet of water, would be built under the project to compensate western slope areas for water taken into the Arkansas valley. Union Fined $25,000 For Rail Walkout (Associated Press) The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, members have just ended a long and costly strike, was lined $25,000 Friday for engaging in a similar "sick" walkout in.

December, Federal Judge Michael L. Igoe found the union guilty of contempt of court in a hearing at Chicago. The union faces similar charges for the second walkout of switchmen which started Jan. 30. This walkout virtually collapsed Thursday after the army issued a "work or be fired" edict.

All mail and express service has been restored but it will take some time to straighten out the freight tang- Judge Igoe ruled that the strikers acted in mass formation, but lio discharged 40 individuals also on trial in the case. These included national BUT officers and local chairmen in the Chicago area. He said lie wouldn't impose the 'astronomical fine'' asked by the a day for each of the three days of the Dec. 13-lli strike--but that "the union must realize the great wrong they liavo done." The union was fined on both criminal and civil charges but the total -was $25,000. As in the January walkout, the union members employed as switchmen either walked off the job or stayed home in the Decem jer stoppage, claiming they were sick.

A federal court order, forbade strike but switchmen iway from work anyway. At the peak of tho 10-day strike year, an estimated 700.000 of the nation's 2,000,000 freight cars were stranded in yards.

German Veterans Rushing To Enlist for U.S. Navy Jobs Bremerhaven, Germany, Feb. 9 --(ffi--German naval veterans are to enlist in a new mine sweeper flotilla flying the Stars and Stripes at this American occupation port. Applications for sea-going duty have deluged United States authorities since re-commissioning of four 000-ton mine sweepers of World War II got under way here recently. Other German veterans are jobs as guards and maintenance men at shore installations of the U.

S. navy. Russia and Britain broke the long ago on such use of trained manpower from the fleet that once served Hitler. Britain has employed Germans on small mine sweepers in the North Sea since 1945. She turned them over to German administration two years ago.

This unit has eight vessels and 500 officers and men. In Bast Germany, Russia has sponsored the organization of German naval police from veterans ho espoused communism. Although the Germans remain divided on the issue of rearmament for western defense, the ap- ilications for naval service under Vmerican command far exceed the number of available jobs. Unmarried veterans from 18 to 35 have best chance. The Germans recruited in the west are a nautical counterpart of 66,000 Germans enrolled in labor service units by the American and British armies and housed in lormer German army barracks.

One of the American mine sweepers now has a German crew of 75, ranging from captain to stokers. The three others will be manned by Germans soon after completion of repairs. All four were built for the Nazi navy in 1940. The ships are still American property," an officer emphasized. 'They will have some American naval personnel aboard at all times and will continue to fly the United States flag.

That's the situation in peacetime. As to what would happen in case of war, your guess is as good as mine." Despite relatively high production in postwar years, fewer passenger cars were produced in the 1940-1950 decade than in either of the two previous decades. No Agreement Is Reached on School Measure By A 0. Denver, Feb. 9--Wl--Colorad legislators ended their sixth weeJ work late today, confused and perplexed by their inability to fin any workable solution to a dozen key issues.

An attempted compromise on school consolidation broke apar the rocks of house-senate rl valry, party bickering and heavy outside pressure. Labor committees concluded the julk of their hearings on proposals to raise workmen's and unemployment compensation and Tiroaden occupational disease aid. But Senate Labor Chairman Will F. Nicholson said no bills had been drafted and there wasn't even any agreement yet which measures will be brought out in the house and which in the senate. Plans to put into effect at least a part of the long range highway program splintered off in a score of directions little groups of lawmakers backing each one.

Indications trouble loomed for the plan to keep the state income tax at the reduced level set at the special legislative session came when house leaders decided to jostpone consideration of the tax Jill. It originally was planned for Monday. Bills to strengthen the governor's hand to deal with defense emergencies have been postponed until Monday in the senate. But a growing division showed on tho question of giving him a blank check to spend slate funds in such' emergencies. Other major Issues snarled in committee deadlocks included pay raises for state workers, fair employment practices, revamping control of the state prison and judicial reform, all matters on which Gov.

Dan Thomlun requested action in his inaugural message. Backers of tho move to soften the school consolidation law worked all day to bring out a new bill. The house was held in an unusual Friday afternoon session so the bill could bo ordered officially to the printers. But one trouble piled on another. Three republican senators came over to tell tho house education committee how to go about the ob.

They were GOP Floor Leader 'rank L. Gill, Hillrose; Senate Sducation Chairman John O. Philips, Peyton, and William A. Carlson, Greeley. "Why, Gill even had the nerve ask some of us what we were Joing -walking Into our own com- nittee room," exploded Rep.

Ttob- irt L. Allen Allen and other members from 10th parties staged a walkout. Vhen they returned there wasn't sign of agreement on any of the oints involved. Canadian Trains Crash Mont Joli. Feb.
