Five From District
Go 10 Conscientious
0bjector Camps
One Hos Change Of Heart
And Is Transferred
To Regular Service
By THOMAS c. HARDMAN.

Washington's selective service Or
eanization has assigned five con-
scientious objectors to duty in
civilian work camps, and one man
who had a change Of heart after
reaching camp is now In regu-
lar Army service, records at draft
headquarters disclosed yesterday.
Overlooked in the publicity given
activities of the District selectlve
service program, these men have
left the city one at time since
midsummer to report for camp
duty of national Importance in
scattered sections of the country.
The latest to be called up for
service was Stanley D. McNail, who
was escorted to the Union Station,
under procedure similar to that ac-
companying departure of selectees,
Thursday night to board a train to
Buck Creek. near Marion, S. c.
Other COS" to leave Washing
ton and their camp assignments
include Seymour Etkin, Buck Greek;
Ira E. Powell, Merom, Ind; Robert
A. Holzhauer, Stoddard, N. H., and
George w. Fielder. who was trans
ferred to Indiana for induction prior
to reporting to Buck Creek.
One Man Changes Mind.
The fifth man actually departing
from Washington was assigned to
Patapsco MdD camp, but after a
few weeks he applied for transfer
to regular military service. His name
was not given out by draft officials.
This procedure is not unusual, a
number of cases having occurred
elsewhere in the country in recent
months, and national headquarters
officials have reminded conscien-
tious objectors from time to time
that the transfers can be arranged
without difficulty.
Another Washingtonian, whose
name also was withheld, was placed
In the conscientious objector class
but just before he was to report for
camp duty changed his mind and
asked to be placed In Class lao
the classification given men who are
agreeable to non-combatant mill
tary duty. He is scheduled to be
kducted into the Army later this
month.
Still another District objector who
had been notified of his pending
assignment to a camp has an appeal
pending before the board of ap-
peals for a Glass II deferment on
the grounds that he is essential in
his present occupation. The appeal
was filed by the Government appeal
agent of the registrants local board.
William E. Leahy, District d.
rector OF selective service, yester-
day pointed out that there are
several Army units to which men
who are opposed to bearing arms
but agreeable to non-combatant
service may be assigned. These
units include the Medical Depart
nnent, Quartermaster Corps. Chem
ical Warfare Service, the Signal
Corps. the Corps of Engineers and
the Corps Area Service Commands
and War Department Overhead.

Thompson had! And the girl? What
was she after? He reached in his

The girl watched him, then came
up close to him, her hands still

money; only take me with you"

and closed his eyes. 1t was too much
to figure out!
A Hiding Place.
The girl shipped her oars mo-
ment, listening. From the east came
the whine of a siren toward them.
Here come the marines!" Matt said
happily. "Everythings all right
now!"
The siren was much nearer. And
now they could hear the sound OF a
motor. The girls face was strained.
IF they see us, We'll be finished for
good!" she whispered With a deft
stroke, she altered her course and
rowed steadily toward long black
shape that rose through the mist in
front of them. The police boat had
turned of its siren and motor. They
were so near that their voices car
ried across the water to the rowbOat.
The girl laid the oars in the boat,
fearful of their creaking. The black
shape was right in front of them and
she reached up her hands and
graSped it, whispering: Lie down.
It's very low under here"
Matt sat in the bottom of the boat
and leaned his heavy head against
the seat. There was scraping noise
As wood touched the gunwale of the
boat. Then the scraping stopped and
there was a little room overhead.

slowly far under the blackness.
Bon" she whispered happily. In
an hour the tide would have been
up too far for us to get under here.
1t is a good hiding place, no? This
old pier hasn't been used for a long
time"
But why do we have to hide?
Can't we tell the police about those
guys on shore?"
She laughed scornfully. "You

A Plot Closes In.
Mat was silent. 1t seemed that
every minute he was getting deeper
in this tangled web. Now he was
a fugitive from a police boat, as well
as a target for a couple of thugs
whose boat he had stolen. 81,
They heard voices from the patrol
boat again, gliding past their pier.
They were flashing a light over the
water. A beam was sent in their
direction once but, because of the
way the pier was constructed, it
looked impossible from the outside
for boat to get under it. Matt
and the girl lay silent not daring
to move in the narrow boat. 1t was

At that moment they heard voices
behind them at the other end of the
corridor and. almost in frenzy, the
girl pushed him into the tiny row.

them away from the stone with her
hands. Row" she commanded.
And Matt took up the oars and
rowed.
Behind them on the wharf three
figures emerged, black against the
dim light. There was no moon be-
cause of the rain and the harbor
was blanketed in a fine mist. He
rowed as the girl ordered, keeping
in the deeper shadows of one boat
and then another.
He watched her exultant face as
the water widened between them
and the shore. The girl said
"Madre de Dios! That time we
fooled them!" She laughed softly and
turned her face up to the rain. Her
black hair already hung in long
straight strings around her shoul-
ders and her thin red dress was
soaked with water.
Then for a moment they must
have come into silhouette out of the
shadows. A shot came through the
mist, muff1ed little but close to
them. Then two more, right over
their heads.
The girl reached for the oars.

Matt felt very calm, and quite
tired. 1t seemed very silly to him
that he should be sitting looking out

minutes later, be out in an open

uncomfortable to lie in such q
cramped position. From the ILL
smelling, rotting timbers just over
his head, cold drops of moisture slid
off the green moss and down his
neck. They were colder than the
raindrops and infinitely more un-
comfortable.
The boat moved on, around to
the other side of a long black sloop.
The girl turned over on her stomach
so that her head was resting on the
seat in front of him. There was
something battling about her. He
couldn't imagine her risking her neck
for complete stranger unless she
stood to gain something by it..
There was too much cool~headed
calculation in her tilted gray eyes
They seemed to hold almost an
an evil quality. He didn't believe
her story that she was afraid of

at her Whats your name?"
"Carlita." She smiled at him COM
placently. whats yours?" He
told her and she laughed a little,
coquettish in spite of her scrubbed
looking face and dripping hair. Its
a very funny name. but like It'll"
That was what made him angry;
her calm acceptance Of all this as
completely natural and unsurpris-
ing. She didn't seem to have a
thought about what he was going to
do about her-Or about himself, in
fact. He wanted to be stern with
her. To demand that she tell him
her game. But-sloWly, things be-
gan to seem rather hazy and far
off. He was sinking into softness
and no matter how hard he strug-
gled against it. he couldn't pull
himself up. With dim fury, he
realized that she had let him drink
enough so that the effect wouldn't
be immediate but, sooner or later,
he would go out.
She was smiling at him-pleased
almost motherly. He wanted to
say something but he couldn't man
age it. He noticed there was still
a faint sweet scent over the rank
sea odors.

LOVE STORY AI CAPITOL SHOW
 ENDS TONIGHT
Lana Turner, John Shelton Form Romantic Duo in
 We Who Are Young

A story as simple, straightfor- ward and heartwarming as any to reach the screen in some time ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre. It is We Who Are Young fea- turing Lana Turner and John Shelton.
 The new picture unfolds the story of young couple, portrayed by Miss Turner and Shelton, who marry with high hopes for con- quering a large city It moves from the courtroom where the marriage is performed through rapid series of climaxes which finds the couple eventually forced to go on relief.
 The role of the wife, Margy, is a distinctly new departure for Miss Turner who up until this time has been seen in collegiate and danc- ing daughter roles. Her ability as a straight dramatic actress cannot be denied from now on. She shows rare sympathy and understanding for the character she portrays.
 As the husband, Metro-Gold- wyn- Mayer introduces John Shel- ton, a personable chap whose dra- matic abilities have also been more or less untried Shelton, too, gives an excellent account of himself in difficult roie and will prob ably be given more important as- signments on the strength of his performance.

Hollywood Sights And Sounds
By Robbin Coons .

HOLLYWOOD, May 22 - It's a wonderful world.
 The glamorous movie star gives up ALL to marry the simple cow boy from the plains instead of the rich and famous producer, just as Mary Beth Hughes does in The Cowboy and the Blonde'-thou2h you and I know how many movie stars don't marry the producer when they get the chance.
 The idolized crooner gets so weary with the burden of fem mine adulation that he runs away and joins the Navy, just as Dick Powell does in Tn the Navy but you and I suspect this weari- some fame has compensations.
 There's never more than one real beauty in town that Mar lene Dietrich visits, and that one beauty can twist the male popu- lation around her little finger while the homely crows cav in the background-though you and I know old New Orleans had some famous beauties who somehow didn't get in camera range.
 Jovial fat boys always lose out in love, but never fail to play best pal to the lost love and her new sweetie, just like Jack Oakie in The Great American Broadcast" though you and I know fat boys can nurse a grudge as well as the next one.
 True love finds it's reward, hon. esty is the best policy virtue triumphs in the end, there's de- cency in the worst of us, hearts of gold beat beneath glittering ex- teriors. Hedy Lamar in the Fol- lies dreams only of her. impover- ished husband instead of fur coats and jewels and stagedoor wolves, for what is WEALTH when TRUE LOVE is at STAKE?
 Yea, verify, Us a wonderful world of the screen.
