Persons’ of- fice.” (Gen. Wilton B. Persons is htad of the Army's lobbying agency on Capitol Hill.) At this, Senator hit the ceiling. “The Lord knows that I'm out of harmony with this bill” he stormed. “But I've gone along with it, regardless. Howe I'm not going to be short-circuited. This committee has already adopted one amendment which it thought was approved by the War Department.

This touched off another dia- tribe from hard-hitting Senator Ed Johnson, Democrat, of Colorado.

This was unanimous. This criticism was also shared by vari- ous members of the House Military Affairs Committee, who experienced the same shilly-shallying when the bill was before the House. Here is the background to the Army’s re- markable series of somersaults: On January 6, after the May B)ll was introduced in Congress, it s referred to all interested agen- cies of the Government, including the Army, Navy, War Manpower Commission, Selective Service and War Production Board. Their rep- resentatives held a meeting under Justice Byrnes, at which it was agreed that the new work-or-fight bill should not be administered by Selective Service, since its operation under the mar different draft boards throughout the country would lead to confusion Accordingly, Col. Francis V. Kees- ling, Jr., representing Selective Service, was instructed to present the Amendments of all the agen- cies to the House Military Affaiis Committee. However, committee members say that Keesling talked for four hours in a closed session of the committee but never took the proposed amendments out of his pocket. Later, however, they were presented by Congressman John Sparkman of Alabama, and adopted. After adoption, however, the committee, under pres- sure from the Army, mysteriously reversed itself, knoeking out the Byrnes amendment and putting the administration of the work-or-fight bill back under Selective and the local draft boards than under the War Manpower commission.
