AMILLION MANPOWER LIMIT SET WASHINGTON, March 7 —#— The Senate approved a 4,000,000 limit for the Armed Forces today. The limitation, accepted on a 49 to 41 vote, came after sponsors of the Universal Military Service and Training Bill under consideration had first opposed any restrictions on the size. Originally Senator Morse (R- Ore), with powerful Republican backing, sought to place a 3,500,000 manpower ceiling upon the combin- ed Army, Navy, Air Force and Ma- rines. Senator McMahon (D - Conn) moved to make it 5000000 but the Senate rejected that 56 to 32. Senator Robertson (D-Va) then offered the 4,000,000 figures and it was approved. All were offered as amendments to the pending Manpower Act which would authorize drafting of 18 year olds, and also provide a long-range program of universal military serv- ice and training. Originally the Senate had agreed to vote first upon 3,500,000 limita- tion offered by Senator Moorse with strong Republican support. The Morse limitation drew op- position from top miliary leaders and Senator McMahon offered the 5,000,000 figure as a substitute. The Army said that its May draft call had been reduced to 60,000 men “because we are catching up on Gen- eral MacArthur's requirements in the Far East.” An Army spokesman told report- ers that the reduction — all other monthly calls this year have been for 80,000 men — “has no connection with or effect upon the proposed draft of 18 year olds.” crowded street but nobody seemed PREMIER OF IRAN ASSASSINATED; ' HATION ALERTED March 7 —(P— | TEHRAN, Irgn, American-supported Premier Al Razma s shot to death today Tehran mosque.

The Senate first approved increas=- ed dependency allowances, 16-1, then voted by a surprisingly one- sided 13-3 to raise the weekly com- pensation to unemployed from $25 a week to $30. Both measures had passed the House previously. Both were intro- duced by Rep. Wendell Kay (D- Anchorage). They now go to Gov- ernor Gruening as the first major controversial pieces of legislation to reach his desk in this session. Under the newly approved un- | employment compensation bills, 8| worker with three dependents re- siding in Alaska could draw $48 a week for 25 weeks for a total of $1200 compared with the present maximum of $625. Sen. W. L. (Dan) unamon, Fair- banks Kecpublican, cast the only vote against the dependents’ in- crease bill.
