Advance Air
’Control Bill
AUSTIN, April 14.—(P)—A con-
oversial bill regulating intrastate
aviation advanced to third reading
in the Senate Tuesday while the
House of representatives all but
killed submission of three proposed
constitutional amendments.
©The aviation measure—permit-
ting issuance of state flying per-
mits beginning one year after peace
is declared—advanced to final
reading, 15 to 10. but sponsors fail-
ed to suspend rules for a final vote.
The bill exempts aerial photog-
laphers and persons dusting cot-
ton. spreading fertilizer and plant-
ing seed by airplanes.
Sen. Jesse Martin of Fort Worth
was unsuccessful in an attempt to
strike from the bill all regulations
gid leave standing only a section
declaring it to be the intent of
the state to control air traffic.
House action on the constitution-
al amendments indicated a stormy
future for other amendments which
are pending
€ One member expressed the opin-
ion the people are not in the mood
to pass on constitutional alter-
ations.
Although none of the three con-
sidered by the House were killed
outright they made little. If any.
headway
A constitutional amendment can
be approved only by the electorate
and evidently the House has little
inclination to submit many of
them.
© Those which received negative
treatment:
Make women eligible for grand
and petit jury service.
Change from two to four years
the term of all elective public of-
ficers in the state.
€ Permit the Legislature to author-
ize by law the charging of more
than 10 percent interest on small
short-term loans.

STURDY BODIES!
AUSTIN. April 14—(PP)— Brig. Gen
J. Watt Page, state selective service
director, said Wednesday that the
amended selective service regula-
tions mean for Texas that approx-
imately 425,000 fathers of military
age will be granted draft defer-
ment for as long as possible.
Returning from a conference with
national selective service officials
in Washington, General Page said
that the effect of the new national
policy would be to "enable the sel-
ective service system to continue to
meet the manpower requirements of
the armed froces, war production,
agriculture and othe essential civi-
lian activities, and, at the same
time, protect as long as possible
homes where there are children "
Local boards have been directed
to continue ' insofar as possible" to
induct men finally classified in 1-A
categorically as follows:
1. Single men with no dependents
2. Single men with collateral de-
pendents.
3. Married men with wives only.
4 Men with children.
Local boards have been instructed
to classify as fathers and retain or
place in Class 3-A all registrants
with one or more children born on
or before Sept 14. 1942, excepting
such registrants who are engaged
in farming—who now go in Class
3-C—and those engaged in certain
non-deferrable activities.
General Page said approximately
