HOWARD BRAINARD Auctioneer Flood Presents Important Bill Would Limit Service Of Eighteen-Year-Olds Flood is making a record for accomplish- Congressman Daniel ment during his first term in Wash- ington. This week he introduced a bill in the House of Representa- tives making it mandatory that no man inducted into the land or naval forces who is under the age of nineteen years be assigned to com- batant duty outside the continental United States unless he has had at least twelve months’ training in the land and maval forces.
