Gets New Draft Post

Maj. Chauncey G.. Parker, ir,
Washington investment broker and
Community Chest leader, today pre-
pared to take over new duties as
executive in charge of administra-
tive fiscal and personnel affairs at
national selective service headquar-
tiers.
Appointment of Maj. Parker was
announced last night by Selective
Service Director Clarence A. Dyks-
ira, who revealed that operation of
the selective service system had
been divided into two principal Sec
tions. One of these sections will
be headed by Maj. Parker. the
other-covering operations of the
national office-by 1t. Col Carlton
S. Dargusch. former chief of the
man power division
Until his promotion as deputy
director of the program, Brig Gen.
Louis B. Hershey served as execu-
tive in charge of both the admins
trative and operations functions.
Gen. Hershey yesterday advised
the House Military Affairs Commit
tee against any immediate major
changes in the selective service law,
such as the American Legion pro-
posal to restrict the draft to men
between l8 and 81. The deputy
director said the number of trainees
brought into the Army thus far
was insufficient to demonstrate con-
clusively what changes, if any
might be desirable.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-A legendary
story of a titled family's curse"
dating back to the 18th century
crusades-the curse of the Lambton
Worm-was revived today by the
shotgun death of the 20-year-old
Lord Lambton.
The body of the young nobleman.
the son and heir of the fifth Earl of
Durham, was found yesterday
slumped over a fountain on the
front lawn of his country estate,
near Woolder, Northumberland.
A coroner gave a verdict that
Lambton died of a lf-inflicted"
wound while of "unsound mind"
One shell had been fired from a
double-barreled shotgun which was
found near the body. The youth
was clothed as if for an early-morn-
ing hunt. He recently had been
registered for military service.
The origin, circumstances and his
tory of the ancient curse" are
vague, and accounts fail to show
how frequently the family suffered
tragedy from the 18th century to
modern times, but several members
have met untimely deaths in recent
years.

At a meeting attended by men,
bers of the Business Women's Coun-

the China Christian Broadcasting
Co. of Shanghai, addressed two as
sembly meetings of students of
Westinghouse High School in
Arlington County, Va, yesterday
afternoon.
Describing many humorous con-
traSts between the customs of Amer
lea and his native China, Mr.. Lee
developed the serious lesson that
one of the best methods of bringing
about unity in a world now torn by
wars is to teach the young people
of one nation the meaning of the
customs and background of people in
other countries.
Cites Freedom of Worship.
Praising the advances made in
this country in its short history
compared with Chinas 1000 years,
Mr.. Lee declared that the greatest
accomplishments of America are
not ltS Sclentlnc progress ana Wlde-
spread use of modern ''gadgets," :"
but the widespread knowledge of
God and the freedom here to wor-
ship in the various faiths.
America has the worship of God
as its foundation" he declared
Hold on TO it as the foundation of
your future"
After his talk. Mr.. Lee explained
his company operates radio Station
XMHD in Shanghai, and dissem-
mates all denominations of Chris
tian religion over the air. Later, he
said, it is planned to establish
chain of radio stations in the eight
provincial capitals of China to carry
on this religious work.

The legend says that one of the
earliest Lambtons slew worm so
huge that it could wind itself around
a hill near the family castle. The
price of his victory was a pledge
that he should kill the next living
creature ne met. He saw his father
next-and did not kill him. For
this the Lords Lambton for nine
generations were doomed" to suffer
Gervasse Lambton, the 25-year-
old cousin of the present earl, dis
appeared from a Red Sea liner in

such a fancy to Mary"

she fond of old Mrs. Welman?"

an important thing. It may have no

something that she knows which she
