A compromise plan to base the army draft quota on registration and liability for service, not population, is framed by Rep Shallenberger Nebraska. It would set quotas by the number registered and able to serve in each state, crediting those already in service since April 1917. The administration will involve Congress in war progress and meeting schedules with the War Council, aiming for joint sessions.
