Draft Pool Assures
LiberaIized Policy,
Tor|inski Says
Naval Officer Warns
Ignorance of Law
Won't Excuse Evusion

Because of the Large pool of 16,-
10000 men" from which to draw
conscripts, the selective service law
can be administered with great
Hberality in both dependency and
occupational deferments," accord
ing to 1t. Comdr. Michael J. Tor
linski of National Selective Service
headquarters.
Speaking at the first fall meet
ing of the District of Columbia
Chapter, United States Naval Re-
serve Officers Association, at 2400
Sixteenth street, Comdr. TolinSki
emphasized that "local boards are
the ones who are going to determine
who shall and who shall not serve" |"
Penalties for violation of the Sc
lective service law he warned were
"very sweeping" The mere fact
that a man hasn't seen the Selective
Service Act, nor been oficially and
personally notified does not excuse
him for violation, the speaker said.
ANY man who hasn't registered
because he didn't know anything
about the draft" said the naval Of
ficer, will not be in the clear be-
cause of ignorance of the law"
The speaker outlined high points
Of the law, and answered number
of questions. It was brought out
that there are between $50 and 300
applications for commissions in the
Naval Reserve forces pending at the
Naval Reserve Armory here.
1t. H. B. Atkinson, president of
the chapter, who presided, made an
announcement on behalf of Comdr
Arthur B. McCreary, director Of
Naval Reserve for the District, that
a series of lectures on military law
will be presented at Catholic Uni
versity each Tuesday and Friday
night from October Is through No

Action Is Awaited
On Unity Of Lutheran!
In i. :. and Canada
DR.. KnubeI Expected
To Issue Statement
At Omaha Today
Py the Associated Press.

OMAHA, Nebr., Oct. 12.-Dele-
gates to the 18th biennial conven-
ton of the United Lutheran Church
of America hoped for a statement
today from its titular head, the
Rev. F. H. Knubel, on a matter of
single word in scriptural doctrine
that may affect the unity action of
1000 900 Lutherans in this country
and Canada.
The doctrinal subject is one OF
three points which must be ap-
proved by the U. L. c. A. here and
the American Lutheran Church al
Detroit before cooperative fed
Grafton between the two branches
of Lutheran faith can be estab-
hshed.
Debate was to be resumed over
the meaning of the word error
less in statement regarding
Gods word. the Bible" The state
ment asserted the separate books
that make up the scriptures are
related to one another and, taken
together, constitute complete
errorless, unbreakable whole OF
which Christ is the center. >"
DR.. H. Grady Davis of the Chicago
Lutheran Seminary said the word
"errorless" was misleading and
confusing. DR.. H. H. Bagger, Pitts
burgh, secretary of the U. L. c. A.
commission that helped draw up
the statements, urged adoption.
The other two points which must
be approved deal with exchange OF
pulpit courtesies with clergymen of
other communions and member
ships and membership in social Or

Use Of Army Funds
For Relief Denied

Howard o. Hunter, acting w. P.
A. commissioner. said today charges
were utterly false" that money ap-
propriated for mechanizing the
Army in 1888 had been used for
the C. w. A. relief program of that
year. The charges were attributed
to Representative Barton, Republi-
can, of New York, now the Repub-
lican Senatorial candidate from
that State.
Some funds out of the relief ap-
preparation acts" Mr.. Hunter said,
have been transferred to the War
Department for the operation of
projects aiding national defense and
employing relief labor-but there is
no record of any Army funds ever
having been transferred to the c.
w. A., or any other relief agency,
for the employment Of relief labor"

Turks Carefully Scan
Russian Attitude on
Ndzis in Rumania
Premier Sees New Soviet
Envoy Prior to Warning
Against Invasion
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANKARA, Turkey, Oct. 12.-Non-
belligerent Turkey, while taking ev.
cry precaution to meet gathering
crisis in the Balkans, appeared to-
day to be keeping close watch for
crystallization of Soviet Russia's at
titude toward the advent of Ger.
man troops and planes in Rumania.
1t was learned that Premier Reflk
Saydam had received the new So
Wet Ambassador, Sergei Vinodra-
doff, yesterday several hours before
the Turkish radio broadcast a warm
ing that 100000 Turkish troops
were ready to meet any attempted
German thrust at Egypt by way Of
the Near East.
The subject of the conference
between the two statesmen was not
disclosed. Neutral observers, how
yer, speculated on the significance
of statement in the subsequent
broadcast that "it seems the Bal
kans and even Soviet Russia are on
the brink of unexpected war"
oItCD.
The clear-cut warning that Turk
ish bayonets would stand athwart
any axis drive from the Balkans was
made in military commentary pre-
pared for the government radio by
the Turkish general staff.
The broadcast, first official Turk
iSh comment on the dispatch Of
German forces into Rumania, gave
three possible explanations of the
German advance into its neighbour
ing kingdom:
"One, to protect Rumania's oil
fields from all possible attacks by
neighbors or by the British Mediter-
ranean air force.
Two, to assist in the occupation
of Egypt. ''' Maybe Germany has
judged it necessary to advance
across the Balkans through Anatolia
into Syria and Egypt.
Three, to assist in the occupation
Of Egypt by occupying Greece, which
would bring Germany to the Medi-
terranean."
The first reason, Germany's off,
cial explanation, is mot sufficient"
the broadcast said, ito explain such
drastic action" AS to the third, the
radio commented that a land force
still would be unable to reach
Egypt because the axis does not
dominate the Mediterranean"
Turks Entertained at Movie.
Turkey also was depicted as keep
ing close watch on development Of
the United States foreign policy,
especially as it affects Britain.
Turkish officials and the diplo-
matte corps were entertained at the
German Embassy in Istanbul last
night with showing of Nazi war
films, illustrating crushing victories.
Some diplomats recalled privately
that the Germans showed a similar
film record of the Polish campaign
at Oslo few days before the Nor
| Wegian invasion.
The semi official Anatolian News
Agency, commenting on reports
that Rumania has banned oil ex-
ports to Turkey since the Nazi mill.

Rumanian trade agreement con-

Democrats Attempt
To Smear WiIIkie
Holly Criticized
N. Y. Official Condemns
Whisper Campaign on
Nominees Ancestry
BY the Associated Press.

oS Tic hSSoSldltu EIcoS-
NEW YORK, Oct. IA PAM
phlet headed Democratic Cam
paign Facts-194O," which calls
attention to Wendell L. Wilkes
German ancestry, was termed low
smear" today by Samuel F.. Pryor
jr., Eastern Republican campaign
manager.
In a Columbus Day speech, New
York's Democratic Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Charles Poletti, condemned
any attacks upon Mr.. Willkie be-
cause of his German ancestry. He
did not refer specifically to the
pamphlet.
Alan Valentine, director Of the
National Committee of Democrats
or-Willkie, asserted that the pam
phlet, which bore the further
heading, Speakers Bureau, Col
ored Division, Hotel Biltmore, New
York City," was being furnished Ito
Roosevelt campaign workers for the
purpose of circulating false
and malicious charges"
II do not care to comment on
as low a smear as comes from the
New Deal committee" Mr.. Pryor
said in a statement at Republican
headquarters, but I'll wager any
odds that no American Negro ever
devised such a smear
Mr.. Poletti said that any attacks
on Mr.. Willkie because of his Ger
man ancestry deserve the con-
demnation of every right-thinking
citizen of this country"
Referring, without naming Mr..
