In December

President Roosevelt ordered
registration for selective SER
vice for all young men who have
reached the age of 10 since
July l, as follows: those born
July l to August 81, 1912, in
elusive, to register the week be-
ginning December IL; those
born September l to October 81,
1924, to register Dec. 1924;
those born November l to Dec
ember 81, 1924, to register Dec.
1851. Young men reaching 10
after January l will register on
their birthdays. Selective SER
vice headquarters ordered dis
tribution of questionnaires to
10 and 19-year-old registrants,
who will be indicted as their
order numbers are reached.
To make sure that no one who
is really irreplacable shall be
separated from an essential
position, the President ordered
the secretaries of war and navy
to see to it that present govern
ment employees, who have been
deferred, are not enlisted or
commissioned unless they can
produce the approval of the
head of their agency. Mr..
Roosevelt said that after his
order November II, for CANCEL
alton of all deferments already
made on the basis of federal
service, there was a rush of
government employees to get in
to uniform. He said his new
order should apply not only to
the regular civilian employees
of the government, but also to
employees in army arsenals and
in navy yards and navy shore
establishments owned or oper-
ated by the United States.
The new manpower setup to
be completed soon, the. Presi-
dent said, would provide for
deferment and prohibition of
enlistment of men needed more
urgently for war production
than in the army. More uni
formity could be obtained from
local draft boards, he said, by
plant managers certifying to
the boards cases of men
who are irreplacable and by
more consultation between draft
boards and war production en-

EARLY MAILING OF
PARCELS ASKED

The bulk of Christmas mail
must be in the post offices by
Dec i this year If deliveries on
time are to be assured, accord
ing to Smith w. Purdum, sec
ond assistant postmaster gen.
eral. MI. Purdum is responsible
to Postmaster General Frank c.
Walker for smooth and efficient
air and railway mail service.
Unprecedented wartime de-
mands on the postal and trans
portation systems, plus a pros
pective record volume of Christ
mas mailings, were cited by
Purdum as necessitating earlier
mailings than ever before 1T
is physically impossible for the
railroads and air lines, burden
ed with vitality important war
materials, to handle Christmas
mailings as rapidly as in nor
NAL times Mr.. Purdum said.
If the bulk of parcels and
greeting cards are held back
until the usual time-the period
of about December is to 23-
they simply cannot be distribut-
ed in time, and thousands OF
gifts will reach their destina-
tons after Christmas"
In 1941, about 81 1850 mail cars
were required between Deem
Der IL and "a to deliver Christ
mas mails-enough cars to
make a train 270 miles long.
This year, the extra cars needed
to move holiday mails are large
ly being used by the armed SER
vices, and a severe shortage is
in prospect.
The postal service usually
borrows about $500 trucks from
the Army and other Govern
ment agencies, and rents about
10000 from private owners, to
handle the Christmas mails.
This year, it will be extremely
difficult to obtain enough of
these vehicles to meet even a
substantial part of the need
Tn Army needs its own trucks
and private owners are reluc-
tant to let someone else use
their tires.
