turned them over to Captain

FOR A SH ELL GUY-
gjliiXKBIHM
WASHINGTON, June 13, (UP)
— A proposal to induct 18-year
-olds only after all other sources
of manpower have been exhaust-
ed apparently cleared the way
today for prompt Congressional
approval of a compromise draft
extension bill.
Members of both houses con-
ferring on diverge/it crraft plans
predicted they would wind up
their point meetings this week
and place new draft legislation
on President Truman's desk well
before July 1 — the expiration
date of the present temporary
act.
BAD NAUHE1M, June 13, (UP)
Lt. Granville Cubage denied on
the witness stand today that he
was serving as prison officer at
the Litchfield reinforcement de-
pot at the time he was charged
with sanctioning brutal treatment
of prisoners.

NEURNBERG, June 13, (UP)—
Chief Justice Sir Geoffrey Law-
rence announced today that the
International Military Tribunal
would allow counsel for 21 high
ranking Nazi defendants a total
of 14 days for their final argu-
ments.
Congress Withholds
Action on Feud in
U. S. Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, June 12 (UP)
—Congress was shying away to-
day from an investigation of the
supreme court where the late
President Roosevelt's appointees
have been bickering for months
like a group of precinct politi-
cians.
But there is pressure for in-
quiry into court procedures.
There is certainty that the public
break between associate justices
Hugo Black and Robert H. Jack-
son will be discussed in House
and Senate speeches
The Washington consensus is
that Jackson's charges against
Black published yesterday from
Nuernberg, Germany, raised no
issues warranting impeachment.
The complaint was that Black
used bad judgment in failing to
disqualify himself from consid-
eration of a mine-wage case in
which the miners were represent-
ed by his former law partner. The
miners won with Black's vote and
would have won without it.
Chairman Pat McCarran, D.,
Nev., of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, today asked the Sen-
ate to reserve judgment on the
supreme court feud between Jus-
tices Robert H. Jackson and Hugo
L. Black, because the Senate sortie
day might have to sit as a court
of impeachment in the matter.

VICTORIA, B. C., June 13, (UP)
— Union leaders today cancelled
plans for a non-stop mass lobby
of Provincial government build-
ings by 7,000 striking lumber
workers whose walkout was in its
28th day.
Goldfish imported before the
war from Japan introduced a
new parasite which American
breeders arc having trouble ex-
terminating. The parasite is a
small worm which fastens itself
into the body of a fish.
At the 1820 Census three- j
fourths of the gainful workers of
the United Stales were engaged i
in agriculture; at the 1940 Ceil- j
sus less than one-fifth were in
agriculture.
Chicago sends and receives
more telegrams and has more
long-distance telephone calls
than any other city in the world. I

Cotton A MAN'S FIBER
Cleanliness, toughness, comfort, and good looks—
that's what a man wants in his clothes. That's why men go
all-out for Cotton.
Cotton can be washed, scrubbed or boiled, to remove
every trace of sweat or grime. It comes back fresh, ready to
go again.
Cotton is cool, Cotton is warm. In hot weather it ab-
sorbs and evaporates perspiration quickly. In winter, tightly
woven Cotton is the best fabric known to shut out wind and
cold.
More than 1,000,000 bales of Cotton yearly are made
into strong, tough shirts, underwear, pants, and work clothes
for men. Cotton is a man's fiber!
