Bill To Draft
Labor Faces
Sharp Debate
McNutt Prefers To
Solve Problems On
Voluntary Basis
WAEHINOTON, Feb V —(U.R)—
The draft-labor bill, designed to
enable the government to select
and assign civilian men between
18 and 65 and women between 18
and 50 years to war jobs, lies to-
day before the military affairs
committee of house and senate.
There are about 33.330,000 women
and 50.000.000 men In the indicated
age group but many of the men
and a few of the women already
are In the services. Many of* the
women would be exempted under
special provisions for pregnant wo-
men and for those responsible foi
care of the aged, the 111 or ol
children up to 18 jears.
Paul V. McNutt, war manpower
commissioner, the only administra-
tion official who immediately com-
mented on the bill, refused either
to endorse or repudiate it. He
said he favored working out man-
power problems on a voluntary
basis.
Added Question Raised
The bill was introduced by Sen-
ator Warren R. Austin i Repub-
lican. Vermont and Representative
James W. Wadsworth, Republican,
New York i and Is backed In part
by the same non-administration
forces which sponsored and ob-
tained favorable action in 1940 on
the first selective service act.
Tills bill promises to be even
more explosively controversial. It
not only raises questions of com-
pulsory labor and forced migration
j of workers, but also touches the
dispute whether the armed forces
can be qxpanded to the proposed
11.000.000 men and women without
reducing production below danger
levels.
Enormous Shifts Predicted
Some persons believe there must
be an enormous redistribution of
labor effort in this country—forced
or voluntary—if the armed services
are to attain projeced numbers.
The sharpest dispute is promised
around a proposal by some backers
of the draft-labor bill that workers
so selected for service be guaran-
teed the right to Join a union or
not to Join, as they might see fit,
on entering their new employment.
Such a provision evidently would
crack closed shop Industries wide
snapped: "it hasn't got a chance."

Allied Bombers
Hit Axis Ships
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS. North
Africa. Feb. 9—HP>— Allied bombers
hit two axis ships in a new attack
on the Tunisian port of Sous and
set parked aircraft afire In a raid
on an airdrome at Gabes, a com-
munique announced today.
“There is nothing to report from
our land forces." the war bulletin
said.
It reported that a British sub-
marine operating off the Italian
west coast sank four ships In a
single day by torpedoes and gun-
fire.
Medium bombers carried out the
attack on Oabes "causing fires
among buildings and aircraft on
the ground."
The communique said "this raid
met strong opposltioln from enemy
fighters. 18 of which were shot
down."
In all, five allied planes were
lost.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. 9—(U.R)
—Shoe stores in Oklahoma—like
others throughout the nation—to-
day opened for business on a new
basis as shoe rationing began
with stamp 17 required from the
war ration book for each purchase.
Frozen for a day. yesterday, shoes
went on sale today under the nat-
ion's rationing restrictions of three
pairs to each person per year. The
rush on the shoe stores was expect-
ed and many dealers had arrang-
ed for extra help to take care of
the extraordinary business.
No shoe sales were made yes-
terday. Stores in many cities were
closed all day. Some stores re-
mained open and took orders tor
shoes to be called for on Tuesday
when the ban on sales was lifted.
An Oklahoma City shoe dealer
said he didn't realize how many
"chiselers" there were. He said
at least 10 customers tried to get
him to sell them shoes yesterday
and date the sales ticket Satur-
day. Their requests were denied.
SOLDIERS LEARN TO
CONSERVE SHOES
FORT SILL. Feb. 9—(U.R)— It
{ didn’t take shoe rationing to Impress
upon soldiers at the field artil-
lery replacement training center
of Fort Sill the importance ol care
and conservation of footwear.
When a soldier receives his
three new pairs of "G. I." shoes
he is told from the start that lie
is not only to keep his shoes
shining but in first class repair
at all times. First he is carefully
fit so tffiat the maximum in com-
fort will be realized and then the
Importance of properly fit shoes
In good repair is stressed.
Each man at the Fort Sill re-
i placement center Is told how to
take his shoes to the battery
supply room for forwarding to the
post shoe repair shop and it is
advised that early and frequent
repair Is economical and an im-
portant preventive measure. Army
shoes take much harder wear than
civilian shoes, but with proper and
regular repair they can last in-
definitely.
Every Satuiday morning is shoe
inspection time and any footgear
found wearing thin is promptly
sent for repair.
El Reno Cagers
Paying Visit
To Classen Gym
Simmons Believes
Tribe Should Post
Another Victory
They did it once, and they should
be able to do it again.
At least that's the way Coacli
Jenks Simmons felt about the mat-
ter today as his El Reno highschool
basketballers were preparing to
start their jaunt to Oklahoma Ctty
where they will dash with Classen
Comets at 8 p. m.
Tire Shooting Stars came to El
Reno the night of Jan. 1 and were
dimmed. 28-31. when five stalwart
Indians went the full route in re-
pelling the visitors.
Simmons admits the Comets have
made noteworthy improvement in
the past month, and he said to-
night's battle undoubtedly will be a
tough one—but he's still holding out
for a victory.
Lineup llnannounred
The starting lineup tonight will
not be determined until game time.
Simmons said. Captain Jack Rob-
lyer. who missed the game against
Norman last Fiiday night because
of illness, may not start against
the Comets. The squad chief still
is ailing a bit. but ire will make the
trip to Oklahoma City and un-
doubtedly will get Into the game,
Simmons predicted. Another on
the squad—Hugh Wilson—has a
back injury which may slow his
style tonight.
Others on the Indian ranks are
as lit as a fiddle. In addition to
Jack Roblycr and Wilson, the group
nominated for the trip to Classen
are Norman Sybert, Calvin Slrate,
Bill Hutson. Kenneth Quimby. Les-
lie Roblyer, J. D. Roland, Harry
Ward. James Palmer. Max Clark
and George Cullers. This will give
Simmons an even dozen men to
hurl against the toys on the boule-
vard.
Smelser Names Starters
Coacli Carroll Smelser said his
starting lineup tonight will Include
Jewell and Elder at forward, Nich-
olson at center. McKenna and
Stiles at guard.
The Comets have plenty of size
and they will be geared to open
up against the Indians In an all-
out effort to retaliate for the de-
feat they suffered in the El Reno
gym earlier in the winter.

At Guadalcanal
All Enemy Resistance
On Island Apparently
Is Ended, Knox Says
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Japanese Imperial headquarters
announced today the withdrawal of
Japanese forces from Guadalcanal
Island In the Solomons "after their
missions had been fulfilled,", the
Berlin radio reported In a dispatch
datellned Tokyo.
The broadcast said the Japanese
also announced the evacuation of
the Buna area hi New Guinea, ap-
parently an admission nearly three
weeks delayed, of the destiuction
of the Jap army in Papua by Gen-
eral Douglas MacArthur's American
and Australian forces.
The announcement put Japanese
losses In the. two theatres at 16,-
734 dead against 25.000 allied troops
declared wiped out.
The Associated Press recorded the
Berlin broadcast. Reuters in Lon-
don heard the same announcement
on the Tokyo radio.
First Reveisal Admitted
In Washington, Secretary ol the
Navy Frank Knox said there was
no doubt In his mind that the Jap-
anese were evacuating Guadalcanal.
"All enemy resistance on the is-
land has apparently ceased," he
said, "except that there may be a
few little groups left."
He expressed the opinion that it
was possible that widespread re-
cent sea and air activity in the
Solomons might have been "a dem-
onstration to cover their withdraw-
al.” in discussing the reported re-
I treat—the first admission from
Tokyo in this war of the abandon-
ment of important territory.
This apparent end of a six-months
campaign to gain control of the
strategic island with its vastly im-
portant Henderson airfield, Knox
said, had denied to the enemy a
base irom which to raid American
lines of communication to Australia
and has placed American forces
“within striking distance of some
of the most important bases of the
Japanese."
Story Would Be Different

fic would have been a vastly dif-
ferent story for the last three or

Kerr, who believes that the sur-

pay the state debt before taxes
are reduced, said last week he
