ON WAY TO CHINA
WASHINGTON. April 13.O.P-
Gen. George C. Marshall was on his
way back to China today to pick up
where he left off a month ago—or
perhaps even further. back than
that.
The wartime chief of staff left
Washington by plane last night to
return to his task as President Tru-
man's special representative to this
country's troubled Far Eastern ally.
Relations between the Central
Government of Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-Shek and the Commun-
ists have deteriorated steadily since
Marshall left China. Reports from
China said Communist and Nation-
alist forces were fighting over the
Szepingkai rail center in Manchuria.
But observers here belied that
Marshall had a good chance of suc-
cess, particularly if he is taking back
with him the financial and material
aid which he eame here to obtain.

BIG FOUR OFFERS
TO LEAD CAMPAIGN
FORT WORTH, Tex., April 13.
(UP)—In a move unprecedented In
forty years of policy-making, the
Big, Four operating Brotherhoods
of Railroad Unionism offered Fri-
day to lead a campaign uniting
labor-liberal voting strength In
Texas.
Closing a joint legislative con-
ference, conductors, trainmen, fire-
men and engineers resolved that
their Unions would henceforth en-
dorse specific candidates for State
and local offices .and also would
cooperate with other pro-labor
groups.
Congressmen are to be endorsed
on the basis of reports from Na-
tional headquarters of the Unoins
Previously, the joint board
merely appraised the record of
candidates for its member groups.
But, under the new policy, legis-
lative representatives of the four
Unions will jointly agree upon
candidates for all offices.
The proposal for a change in
policy came from W. O. Dodd, a
conductor from Sherman. His reso-
lution not only called for political
endorsement, but specified that
brotherhood leaders work with
other labor groups and' "seek to
solidify the labor vbte of the
state," in order that "we may
have . . . representation friendly to
the working people." Also, he said,
other "ibetal" groups might be
contacted for additional strength.
J. B. Britt of Dallas presented a
resolution asking the Senate in
Washington to seat Texas' Junior
Senator—W. Lee O'Daniel--with
the "reactionary. Republicans."

Age Limit Raised
From I ft to 2 0 For--H
Entry Into Service
WASHINGTON April 13 um-
The House tentatively voted today
to suspend inductions for five months
and to raise the minimum draft age 1
from 18 to 20 years. beginning May >
15.
The vote was 195 to 96. It is
subject to a roll call vot before pas-
sage.
The proposal to raise the mipimum
draft age from 18 to 20 was offer-
ed by Chairman Andrew .1 May, D„
Ky., of the House military affairs I
committee on legislation to extend I
the Selective Service Act nine I
months beyond its present May 15 I
expiration. I
Before accepting the May propos- 1
al to set the draft age at 20 to 29 I
inclusive, the House rejected a sub- I
stitlte by Rep. Sam Russell, D., I
Tex., to make it 21 to 29 inclusive. I
Russell’s amendment was rejected I
149 to 62. I
Subject To Roll Call Vote I
The vote to suspend inductidns
from May 15 to Oct. 15 was 149 to 1
127. The vote to ban inductions I
on teen-agers was 195 to 98. Both I
proposals are subject to possible I
roll call votes before final approval. I
Rep. Carl Vinson. D.. Ga sponsor I
of the draft "holiday" proposal said I
it would give the army and navy I
an opportunity to try a voluntary en- I
l ts tm ent program. His proposal
would permit the President to start |
inductions again after Oct. 15. if the I
services failed to get a suflicient I
number of volunteers. |
Rep. Dewey Short, R.. Mo., said I
the holiday would make Congress I
look like a "bunch of moral cow- I
ards who didn't have the guts to I
stand up and face the issue." He I
opposes any extension of the draft I
after May 15, the present expiratiom I
date. I
Rep. Forest A Harness. R.. Ind.. I
sought to put a pay increase pro- I
vision in the draft extension bill. I
but it was knocked out as not be I
ing under the jurisdiction of the I
selective service system I
Heated Debate I
The May proposal touched off I
heated debate in which members I
challenged the accuracy of War De- I
partment figures to show thecon--
tinued need for drafting teen- I
agers I
Rep. John J. Sparkman. D. Ala. 1
opposing the amendment, said "we’ve |
been using up our 18 and 19-year-
olds and if you change the age Po
20, there simply won’t be any left." |
Rep. John Folger. D.. N. C„ charg- I
ed that the army wanted to keep
