DRAFT EXPANSION KILLED BY SENATE VOTE OF 49 TO 25 Fall Amendment Making the Limits 20 to 40 Years Is Beaten Two to One WaHhtnKton, D. C„ June 29.—The i-i-nate late yesterday rejected, by a vote of 49 to 25 the Fall amendment to the $12,000,000,000 Army appropria tion bill extending draft ages to 20 und 10 years, respectively. Preliminary to disposition of the Fall amendment, the Senate voted down, 41 to 33, an amendment by Senator Hardwlck, of Georgia, to make the minimum age limit 21 years, as at present, instead of 20 as ]>roposed by Senator Fall. A proposal by Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, to make the maximum age 35 years instead of 40, proposed in the Fall amendment, was rejected on a viva voce vote. Cannot Kqulp HUKC Army Speaking in support of the Fall amendment, Senator Cummins, of Jowa, said it was unexplainaole why War Department officials should of fer any opposition to the proposal. Delay, he declared, means that men are being sent in the Army who .-hould not go. Senator McOumber. of North Da kota. advocated extending the draft so as to Include, all men between 18 and 45 years of age, and declared for an Army of 5,000,000 immedi ately. Chairman Chamberlain, of the Mili tary Committee, said emphatically that the lattef proposal was imprac ticable. "We're not able now to clothe, arm. train and otherwise equip 5,000,000 men," said Mr. Chamberlain. He ex plained that, although favoring per sonally immediate extension of the draft ages, he was accepting the statements of Secretary Baker and <ieneral March, chief of staff, that it was desirable to postpone legislation because of problems of housing, training, arming, clothing and trans portation.
