ChildlessHusbands May Be Drafted
Washington—(U.P.)—Members of the House Armed Services committee were lining up tentatively today behind a senate proposal to draft childless married men 19 through 25.
Chairman Carl Vinson, (D.Ga.), recalled draft director Lewis B. Hershey for testimony on this and other suggestions for delaying the defense department's proposed draft of 18-year-olds.
All men with dependents now are being deferred from the draft (except in some cases where they marry after being classified). This is by presidential order. Hershey said his proposed amendment to this order would provide for deferment only of these three groups:
As the house group continued its public hearings, the senate preparedness committee, in closed session, worked on revisions of the dement of about 290,000 childless fense department's draft bill. One amendment offered by chairman Lyndon B. Johnson, (D., Tex.) would end the dependency defermarried men in the present draft-we group.
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Army chief of staff, told the U.S. News & World Report magazine in an interview that for the moment it is "essential" to draft 18-year-olds in order to reach planned strength. The alternatives, he said, are to draft veterans, or nonveterans who have dependents. He said it would not be necessary to draft all 18-year olds to start with, but a "considerable number" at the beginning.
2. Men with a wife and children.
3. Men with more than one dependent of any kind—a dependent father and mother, for instance.
Hershey drafted the order in response to growing congressional sentiment that men without children in the present 19-through-25 draft age group should be called before the draft age is lowered to 18, as proposed by the defense department.
1. Men with children.
The constitution of the Associated Women Students will be revised by the house and sent to the senate for ratification by Thursday, Feb. 22, said Marie Schumacher, president.
Emma Lou Burbank, College sophomore, and Doris Kendall have been appointed members of the judiciary board.
Both house and senate Armed Service committees, considering the 18-year-old draft proposal, have indicated they would write such a provision into the law. Hershey's action, however, requires only presidential approval. It does not require a change in the law.

Anton Brees To Play Carillon In Dedication
The selection of Anton Brees to play the dedicatory recital May 27 on the University World War II Memorial carillon was announced today by Dean Thomas Gorton, chairman of the dedication committee.
Brees will present a recital of about 20 minutes as the concluding portion of the ceremonies dedicating the 120-ft. bell tower. This will be the first carillon concert ever played in this area.
"We are most happy that Mr. Brees has accepted our invitation," Dean Gorton said. "Many say he is the world's greatest carillonmeur."
Brees has been carillonne at the famous Bok Singing Tower at Lake Wales, Fla., since its dedication in 1929.
Brees, who has played on more carillons than any other man in the world, living or dead, is a native of Belgium. Before accepting the Bok tower position, he was carillonneur at the Park Avenue Baptist church in New York, often known as the Rockefeller church.
Several other recitals will be presented by Brees between dedication Sunday and Memorial day. He also will arrive here in time to supervise the final adjustment of the 53-bell instrument.
Dedication of a war memorial won't be new to Brees. A quarter of a century ago he played the first recital on the World War I memorial carillon at Capetown, South Africa.
Casting of the 53 bells by the John Taylor and Co. foundry in Loughborough, Eng., is finished and tuning will soon be underway. Dean Gorton said the bells are expected about April 1. The campanile is ready for installation of the bells.
