Cameron Wesley, who said he was elected chief of
the Choctaws five years ago, is charged with the fatal
shooting several months ago of one of his tribesmen,
Evans Tubee. Both were tenant farmers and had quarrel-

They said that under the 1830

"If Indian kills white man. he

Conscription Bill
I Near Sedale Okey
WASHINGTON, Aug, 28— (fl>)
- Supporters of compulsory mil-
itary training defeated in the
Senate today vi new effort to de-
for ilie conscription program un-
til Congress should declare exis-
tence of an emergency.
By a 66 to 11? vote the Senate
rejected an amendment offered
to the Burke-Wadsworth bill by
Senator Wiley (R-Wts) which
would have permitted immedlatu
setting up of conscription mach-
inery, with registration of men
from 21 through 30. hut which
would havo prohibited calling the
men Into service until Congress
declared the step necessary.
Hope8 dashed by the chamber's
64 to 20 reectlon of a proposal
to limit conscription to a time
of war or threatened Invasión, op
position, leaders told reporters
their fight wan over.
"We've put up tbe beat fight
we know how." Senator Wheel,
er (D Mont) said gloomily. "Now
It's up to the House."
Only one major proposal stood
in the way of a final vole as tbe
Senate began Its thirteenth day
Ot debate — a substitute bill by
Senator Moloney (D-Connj to de-
lay I lie draft until January 1
while attempt f< were made to
supply the expanded army's man*
power netls by voluatver one-
year enlistments.
The Rurkn-Wudsworth measure
would be effective at one If en-
acted. All men between the ages
of 21 and 30 would hare to reg-
ister immediately, and the first
contingent — probably of 400,000
— would be selected for service
.soon afterwards.
Spurred by a new demand from
President Roosevelt for actlou on
the bill, tbe Senate «same to life
(CnaUaeed on PAGK TWO)
would be used In training
ganixed conscript army.
Now that the legislation IS
signed, Mr. Roosevelt may
