(U.R) The administration plans to ask congress when the time is considered "ripe" to enact legislation permitting drafting of manpower and compulsory registration of women, it wns learned today. Chairman Paul V.

McNutt of the War Manpower Commission evaded a direct answer to the question at his recent press conferences whether drafting of manpower and registration of women were being considered.

When congress is asked to act will depend upon how soon the public and congress appear ready to give the proposal favorable The program of persuasion now being used has been meeting with some success but manpower offi cials are aware that full success can be attained only thrugh some compulsion. Plan Heing Studied Tim plan probably will embrace most of the recommendations made to McNutt by Grenville Clark. New York attorney, who drafted the original selective service bill.

It would apply to men aged 18 to G5 and to women aged IS to 50. It would not affect the selective service act. nor would it affect existing laws governing wages, hours, collective bargaining and settlement of labor disputes, Clark said in a statement accompanying the proposal. Volunteer or Draft Under it, the President would call for volunteers if large numbers of workers were needed in a certain industry. If the' requirements were not filled by volunteers within 40 days, the deficiency would be made up by a draft conducted by selective service and similar to the drafting of men for the armed forces.
