Sooners Glide Over Cyclones To Keep Pace
Norman, Feb. 8 — (Special) — Second-place Oklahoma kept hot after Kansas in trouncing weak Iowa State 47-20 last night, three points better than the Jayhawk total against the Cyclones.
Gerald Tucker dropped into a tie with Charlie Black for the Big Six scoring leadership as he and Bob McCurdy each scored 13 points. Tucker's average is now 16 points a game. Black, who has played two contests less than Tucker's five, has 48 points for a 16-point average.
Apparently trying to gain a wide offensive-defensive spread, Oklahoma played a defensive game after piling up a 23-6 halftime advantage (if the Sooners tie with Kansas for the title the quinter with the best offensive-defensive record will be considered for the NCAA playoffs). Iowa State's sophomores were as cold as against Kansas, connecting only six of 66 shots. The Cyclones are now in fifth place with two victories and four losses.

Washington, Feb. 8 (INS)—Backed with the power and influence of several nation-wide civic and military organizations, labor draft bills were introduced simultaneously in both branches of congress today.
Known as the "National War Service Act of 1943" the legislation would make subject to compulsory noncombatant service wherever they are best fitted all men between the ages of 18 and 65 and all women from 18 to 50 who are not now in the armed services.
The bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Warren R. Austin (R) Vt., and in the House by Rep. James W. Wadsworth (R) N.Y.
Actively supporting 'and urging enactment of the bill are the American Legion, original sponsor of Universal Selective Service, and the newly-formed Citizens Committee for a National War Service Act. The latter, as the national emergency committee, aided in the drafting and advocacy of the Selective Service Act of 1940.
Introduction of the bill was seen as an evidence of dissatisfaction at the delay of the administrative branch in proposing manpower legislation.
Sen. Austin, at a press conference, said the Senate military affairs committee had been told last October that such legislation was in process of preparation and would be ready in "two weeks."
"We haven't had a bill presented yet," he said.
Efforts will be made, they said, to obtain enactment of the bill prior to April 1, when the recent "work or fight" order of McNutt becomes effective.
The bill would require registration of women in the specified age limits, under the selective service act. The chairman of the War Manpower Commission is designated as the agency, to carry out its provisions as
Existing laws relating to maximum hours, minimum wages, or otherwise affecting relations between employer and employee are not affected by the bill and it does not affect in any way the 1940 and 1942 selective service laws.
