NUMBERS FOR
RECISTRANTS
OF JULY, FIRST
Numbers Determine The Order
In Which The New Will Be
Integrated Among Old
LOTTERY SELECTION ON
YESTERDAY EVENING

In the lottery selection, drawing for
which took place Thursday evening,
radio announcement is to the effect
that the first number drawn was
1876; the second, SO.
Sequence numbers for IL, 263 young
men who registered in the State of
Maryland on July were drawn in
the Second National Selective Service
Lottery held in Washington, D. c.,
yesterday Thursday evening.
The sequence numbers determined
the order in which these new regis
trants will be integrated among the
old registrants who have order num-
bers larger than the last selectee of
their Local Board who was involun-
tarily indicted before midnight, June
80, 1941, Colonel Stanwood said.
"For an example, if Local Board
should happen to have 10 new regis
trants and 100 old registrants on its
list whose order numbers follow that
of the last involuntary inductee as
of midnight June 80, then one new
registrant would be placed after each
group of 10 old registrants."
Any induction made after mid
night June 80, will be ignored in the
indignation of new resigtrants among
the old ones, Colonel Stanwood stated.
The lottery, which determined the
sequence in which new registrants
will be integrated among old ones,
was held in Departmental Auditor
ium, Washington, d. c., at 2 P. m.
&c. S. IT,.
A set of serial numbers, each pre-
coded by the letter "S", from "S-1"
to include the largest number used
by any Local Board in the country in
assigning serial numbers to July LIST
registrants were drawn by lots. APP
proximately 800 numbers were drawn.
The serial numbers in the order
they are drawn in the lottery will con-
stitute a master list to be used by
Local Board in assigning Sequence
Numbers" to their July LIST regis
trants, in this manner:
The registrant in each Local Board
area whose serial number first ap-
pears on this second master list will
be given Sequence Number 1" in his
area; the registrant whose serial
number is next closest to the top will
receive Sequence Number 2", and so
on until each July LIST registrant has
a sequence number.
AS was the procedure in connection
with the previous national lottery in
October, 1910, Local Boards will cross
off on the second master list and ig-
more these serial numbers that are not
held by an registrant in their areas.
When sequence numbers have been
assigned to all new registrants, the
Local Boards will assign each of these
registrants an order number to be de-
termined by migrating them among
the old registrants. This means that
the new registrant with Sequence No.
/ in his Local Board area will receive
the lowest order number assigned to
his group, and the registrant with the
largest sequence number will receive
the highest order number for the
same group.

The work of this legislative group,
meeting frequently to study Mary

AN ERROR

"The Democrat" desires to
call attention to an error oc-
curing in the wording of the
heading above the write-up of
the Atlantic Hotel on Page II
of this issue.
The word new" appearing in
the headline should read "able",
instead. DR.. C. w. Purnell,
present proprietor has been in
charge for Is years, and the
statement that the hostelry is
under new" management is
a mere typographical error, dis
covered too late to correct be-
fore the issue was run off.

foreign products.
1t is true this may not happen Immediately but
lit will happen soon enough to give American pro-
ducers who have but one market-the American

to join hands with them in campaign to cushion
the shock of this destructive foreign competition
on our markets when it again materializes.
Many of these suppliers who provide the pot

equipment, printing and office supplies etc. also
sell other members of the Made In America Foun-
dation American match, lace, glove, glass, carpet,
wine, wooen textile, cotton textile, knitting, toys
and various other industries that always seri-
ously affected by foreign imports in peace time
will heartily endorse the steps taken by the pot
ters to enroll their material suppliers into the
Made In America Foundation Enrolment by the
potters will cover all other industries and there
will be no further appeals from other sources for
support to the movement. The listing Of these
supp!iers will be in the nature Of a directory
that will appear in each issue of the "NIade In

FEDERAL HOUSING PLANS

ONE OF THE outstanding officials in the Ad-
~ ministraton set-up is Nathan Straus, born in
New York City in 1889, with silver spoon in his
mouth and educated in the best schools and uni
versites in the United States and Europe. He
hasn't lost minute of time since he received his
special diploma cum laude from Princeton in 1909
He went to the New York Senate in 1921 and
served five years. and in Albany he was regarded
aS an expert conservation taxation and hOuS-
ing. Straus was Housing Commissioner Of New
York City, from which position he was picked up
by President Roosevelt and placed at the head of
the United States Housing Authority. He showed
what could be done in housing construction and in
supplying homes to people of limited means
Whatever there has been to the credit of Federal
Housing is distinctly also to the credit of Nathan
IStrauS.
In the conglomeration of events here in Wash
ington seven different agencies have been given
Authority over all defense housing construction
This struck fire from StrauS, who doesn't need
Ia Government job, but who is so proud Of his sue
Icesses in the housing movement that he went ul
ito Capitol Hill and told the Legislators where to
Iget Off.
Straus charged before the House Committee
that defense housing has been bungled and he SAID
that if the agencies were all combined under his
IUSIlA it would be possible to reduce the number
Iof officials and employees by 1916. But the mum
bers of excess employees aren't being reduced il
Washington these days.

BIG PAPER COMPANIES NAMED
IN "HOT GOODS" CRIMINAL
ACTION UNDER WAGE LAW

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-
Charged in SO counts with illegal in
terstate shipment of shot goods
paper manufactured in violation Of
the Wage and Hour Law-the Inter
national Paper Company, the South
ern Kraft Corporation, and six Off
cials have been named in an informa-
ton filed with Federal Judge Isaac
Nj. Meekins in the Eastern District
Court, Florence, S. c.
The criminal action, based on an in
vestigation by the Wage and Hour
Division, U. S. Department of Labor,
charges continuing violations begin
ming when the law became effective in
the fall of 1888. Specifically, the in
formation alleged ten shipments of
goods illegally produced each in the
months of December, 1888; Novem-
Der, 1889; August, 1910; November,
1910, and April, 1941.
Under the Fair Labor Standards
Act it is a violation of the law to ship
into interstate commerce goods IN the
manufacture of which employees have
been paid lower than the minimum of
80 cents an hour or who have not been
paid overtime at the rate of time and
one-half for work done after 40 hours
in work-week. During the first
month covered by the information
December, 1888, the minimum wage
was only 25 cents an hour, and over
time did not start to run until after
"a hours. With respect to November
1889, and August, 1910, the overtime
pay did not start to run until after
AZ hours a week. The 40-hour stand
ard was reached on October "a, 1910
The action filed against the paper
companies is part Of an effort by the
Department of Labor to stop sub
standard wages paid in the pulp anC
paper industry through prosecution OF
those firms and individuals who traf.
tic in the goods produced by this
under-paid labor.

"OKIE'S" RIGHTS

VIIIE SUPREME COURTS unanimous verdict IN
California vs. Edwards, the so-called "Okie'
case, upsets the California anti-migrant law, and
possibly the anti-migrant laws Of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and tWenty-four other states,
Yet it merely reahrms an old and noble principle,
embedded in our history, implied in Article " of
the Constitution and explicitly stated in the -Four
that he citizens of each state shall be entitled to
all privileges and immunities OF citizens in the
several states
Or, in the words of the Amendment, "Nor shall
any state deny to any person within its juris-
dcton the equal protection Of the laws"
TO the veriest layman it must seem that a
migrant comes under a states jurisdiction when
he crosses its boundary, and that if the state
elects him, or if it forbids entrance to him while
granting it to others, he is not receiving the eQuai
protection of the laws to which he is entitled

WITH THE traffic toll this year running II per
W cent ahead Of last year, the National Safety
Council is rallying public officials, safety leaders
and individuals rs well as l30 national organza-
tons already enlisted in the Emergency Safety
Campaign, for last-ditch fight to cut deaths dur
ing the hazardous holiday season.
December normally is the deadlicst month Of
the year on the highways, with more darkness,
bad weather, slippery paVements and the rush and
convviality of the season contributing to an up
surge in accidents. SO the safety council is urging
driving courtesy and the utmost care by every
driver to prevent accidents during the month.
Accidents have increased so sharply this ycal
that President Roosevelt became alarmed at the
drain on the nations manpower time and money
and issued a proclamation calling upon the council

HERE AT LAST

lust THREE months ago we remarked here that
q it was extremely hard for Americans to under
stand the Oriental mind-especially in diplo-
matte way.
Americans, always ready to throw fists in a
Standup fight have no stomach Tor the fellow VINO
strikes while his opponents back is turned we
just can't understand this underhanded way OF
doing business
Japan, while appearing to negotiate through
her Ambassadors struck at America. 1t was a
low trick, but one we should have anticipated and
been prepared to meet.
We are embarrassed and angry that we were
caught mapping Otherwise, in this section at least,
the war has been received more with sigh of re-
lief than anything else.
We have never been truly neutral and we have
known for more than year that we would be in
the fight before it over. Now that we are def
nitely in, the end appears closer.
TO say we are fully prepared is silIy-but we
are reaching a point where can be expected to
turn out vast amount of all war materials and our
boys learn quickly.
The people are calm but few more reports
that the enemy is ready to bomb New York or
San Francisco will soon bring the public to war
footing.
The drums are beginning to roll and the flags
have started to wave We are in it and we are go
ing to be united. There will be divisions. We
are all Americans and we viii win another war
Confidence in ourselves is justified.
We are still the country that never wins 4 con
ference but never loses a battle.
SO far we have not hit our stride The first
field goal goes to the enemy, but the tide will turn
fast and the score mount as soon as our boys take
possession OF the ball.
Japan has trusted Germany and has gambled
on losing all rather than lose face. 1t was dis
astrous decision.

. WRONG SLANT FROM EYE
BROWS
Wrong john
Has certainly made name for him
self
Brother Denny, with bodyguard
helps along the family fame
Lewis Brothers learned their trade
in hard days
Around Pittsburgh, Youngstown
Birmingham
Against Pinkertons, Finks, mine
paid deputies
That was the game played by mine
bosses and steel lords
So that was the game at which they
had to be licked
BY aid of some economic revolu-
tions, among other things
Lewis brothers won out, in the
business Of mining coal
Which was a pretty good job, at
that.
X X X
Other problems, other interests,
larger issues
All of which calls for a change in
manners
Sense of fitness of things, when
lacking
Can ruin regulations of otherwise
capable persons
Wrong John forced his issue, af-
fecting few thousand miners
Upon the same plane with world
affairs, affecting nations
John had been at the Russian En-
bassy.
Had some opportunity to under
stand that phase of things
Putting 1000 tanks on the Moscow
front is really important
America is trying to do that very
important thing
But stopping the mining of "cap-
tive coal"--
Could stop those tanks from going
to Moscow
Didn't Wrong John know that?
Or, didn't he care?
X X X
What bug has bitten this John?
Some say that it is the Presidential
Bee
While others say it is just his eye
brows--
The way they affect his magma
ton
When he looks at his face while
shaving, or something
Small things sometimes have large
consequences
And those eyebrows are nothing to
be sneezed at
But, perhaps they ought to be
trimmed.
You see, John is a president, him
self
Of an industrial army of about
100000
Which is really something to think
about
Because they have a lot of influence
in certain parts
Which influence is handled, mainly
so far, by john
That fact, being so close to john
Being, in fact, the very apple of his
Sort of spoils his sense of proper
tions--
When dealing with President of
merely 130 millions.
Wot't'hell! He's just another presi-
dent
Which was good place for Wrong
John to stub his toe.
You see, there are more farmers
In New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania
Than there are coal miners in all
Wrong Johns unions
Farmers don't like union organizers
to get sassy
When the President of the United
States talks to them politely
And these farmers have friends i1
Congress
TO say nothing of the little bust
ness men
X X X
Wrong John just couldn't get the
proper world perspective
Mostly, probably, on account ol
those out-sized eyebrows.

! COMMENT ON WORLD
! EVENTS

Significant news comes from little
Denmark, which hitherto has not
made forcible protest against German
rule. But signing Of the anti-Comin-
tern pact by the Danish government,
under Nazi pressure, was too much
for the peaceable Danes. They pro-
tested in day-long riots which swept
Copenhagen on Nov 26, according to
private advices received by the Amer
ican Friends of Danish Freedom and
Democracy, New York City.
The riots were reported to have be-
gun in the morning, first being DEM
onstrations for King Christian. The
King had protested to the last against
signing the pact and had threatened
to resign.
Crowds gathered in front of the
royal palace, sang the Danish ma
tional anthem and cheered for the
King. At the insistence of Nazi mill
tary authorities, police finally cleared
the square before the palace.
X X X
The riots then broke out in other
sections of Copenhagen. One crowd
gathered in front Of the Foreign Min
istry screaming "Down with Sea-
VENUS, the traitor" Foreign Minister
Scavenius was the only member of
the cabinet who originally favored
signing the anti-Comintern pact.
The King of Denmark has become
greater hero to his people than ever
before because of his stubborn in
sistance that Denmark would not sign
the pact so long as the mobilization
corolary affected Denmark. The Nazis
had insisted that all signatories mobi-
lize their armies for active service on
the Russian front. Denmark finally
obtained clause in the pact which
provided that Denmark would not be
forced to mobilize "except in extreme
emergency"
Apparently the trouble started when
the Danes began to learn that the
anti-Comintern pact was directed
against the United States and Britain,
as we'll as Russia. This news had
been hidden from the peoples of the
invaded countries, but it had been re-
leased in Germany. United States
short waves, however, carried the in
formation in their broadcasts the day
before the trouble in Denmark began

A Brazilian government decree
aimed at enlarging and protecting the
family introduces a number Of noval
features. To mention only few: free
weddings, reduced school fees and
free membership in sport organiza-
tions for families of many children,
family assistance for state and mu-
nicipal employees, increased income
tax for single persons and married
couples without children.
All administrators of the state COM
pulsory insurance plan are empowered
to grant subsidies to their insured
members under 80 years of age for the
purpose of setting up housekeeping.
This may take the form of a rather
large loan for the purchase of house
or smaller loan for the purchase of
furniture. The amount is not to eX-
ceed three years income of the APP
plicant.
In the case of loans for a house
the money is to be paid back within
20 years with five per cent interest
Loans for furniture are to be repaid
in five years at six per cent interest
For every newly-born child one-tenth
and two-tenths respectively of the
loans will be cancelled.
In the event of economic need, re-
payment can be postponed and on the
death of the breadwinner can be can
celled.
