One of the greatest gatherings

State Council Head
Calls For Economy In
Non Defense Budgets

w. Frank Roberts, chairman of
the Maryland Council Of Defense
and Resources, told 400 Maryland
citizens and defense production
men at the State Capitol last Fri
day that full defense program
demanded priorities in men,
money, machines and materials
and that Federal, State and Mu-
nicipal spending should be kept at
a minimum.
The meeting was called to step
up defense production and to CO.
ordinate the activity Of local de-
tense councils.
"There is a lack Of .apprecia-
ton on the part Of many citizens
Of this country of the seriousness
Of the situation we are confront
ing" Mr.. Roberts said. "Much
against our will we find ourselves
transferred from nation which
desires peace to one which must
exert its best effort to prepare to
defend itself. Our country has
embarked on a program of ma
tional defense the equal of which
in volume and time available for
its accomplishment has never be-
fore been undertaken in human
history"
Referring to the many billions
of dollars already appropriated
for defense, Mr.. Roberts warned.
"These enormous expenditures
must be paid for and there is
only one way to do this, that is,
through taxes Of some kind or
other, at some time or another.
It seems pretty clear that in view
of these very necessary high de-
tense taxes, all other Federal,
state and municipal non-defense
budgets should be kept to a very
minimum"

Will Classify All
Draft Registr'tiOn
Under Same Rules
Methods Not To Be Changed
In Handling New Group OF
Men, Director Says

Men who registered under tn,
Selective Training and Servic,
Act on July / and whose order
numbers were determined in tht
national lottery on July II are
subject to the same rules of indi.
vidual classification as the youths
who were enrolled previously, 1t
Col. Henry C. Stanwood, State
director of Selective Service, EN-
phasized this week.
Under no circumstances will
the new group of potential
trainees be classified and consid-
cred for possible military train
ing en- bloc, the director declared,
Each man will have his order
number by which his local board
will consider his classification and
no local board can classify the
individual registrant until his
number is reached, except in case
of volunteers, he said.
The national lottery served as
a guide for every local board to
integrate its new registrants
among those who registered last
autumn, and that Indignation must
be carried out so that the recent
registrants will consider their
classification only in fair and
equitable ratio to those men moi
yet indicted, Colonel Stanwood
asserted. He pointed out that il
was obvious that new registrants
who had received relatively low
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1941-07-31

order numbers would be classified
sooner than those who had re-
ceived higher numbers.
.I'd like to stress the, fact
again. said Colonel Stanwood,
shat there isn't any difference
between treatment of the new
registrants and the old registrants
in any respect whatsoever. They
are treated exactly alike. The
same rules of deferment apply to
both. Both have the same right
of appeal. The interests of both
are protected by the Government
in the same manner. And each
case is considered individually
when the registrant's order num-
Der comes up, regardless of
whether he registered July / or
previously"

SMALL FIRE ON
BAHAMA STREET

AT about $50 o'clock last night
the fire apparatus was summoned
to a call sent out over the tele-
phone reporting fire on Bahama
street, between Southland and
Fleming, in the rear of the resi-
dence occupied by Police Officer
Benjamin Pierce
On arriving at the scene a fire
was discovered in a pile of wood
In a vacant lot, which was soon
eztinquished, with practically no
damage resulting from the blaze
The firemen and police officers,
and citizens as we'll complained
of the greatly congested condi-
ton of automobile traffic on
Bahama street last night during
the fire which handicapped the
fire department to q great extent
IN getting to the fire, which is a
fragrant violation Of the traffic
laws, as there is an existing ordi-
nance that prevents automobiles
moving in and around the irnme-
diate vicinity where fire may
be raging.
