ing, local boards in October, 1940
began sorting, shutting and serial
numbering Immediately after the
registration. Procedures differed in
many boards and one board hadn't
even elected a chairman nor held a
meeting when another board had
finished serial numbering and was
ready to post its list.
Want Notice on Changes.
The three weeks since the Febru-
ary registration of previously un-
registered men between the ages OF
20 and A has given local boards
time to receive and send out of town
and out-of-area registration cards
For the benefit of new registrants
and old ones now in process of being
reclassif1ed. selective service head
quarters reiterated its requests for
registrants to report Immediately to
their local boards any change of
address, change Of work or change
of dependency status: and to find
out from their local boards who their
Government appeal agent is and
consult him If they feel they have
been improperly classified.

Numbering Of Latest
Draft Registrars
Begins Tomorrow
Third Lottery March II
To Determine Sequence
In Sending Questionnoire!

Taking the secord step toward the
eventual selection of youths and
older men for Army service, District
local boards tomorrow will start
the Lottery shuffling and serial
numbering of the mass of cards
filled out at last months selective
service registration.
The sequence in which capsules
containing numbers to match these
serial numbers are drawn during the
third national lottery March II will
determine the order in which the
new registrants will be sent their
questionnaires and classified for
service.
Serial numbers assigned to rev
be preceded by the letter IT" to
designate the third registration. To
prevent any confusion between old
and new serial numbers, which could
be caused, for instance, by dropping
of the letter IT it was decided to
start the numbering at l0,001. Some
5000 numbers were drawn in the
first lottery. 800 in the second. based
on the largest number of registrants
In any local board.
To Follow Old Registrants.
The first number drawn in the
lottery-say T-l0,158-would become
Order No. tt, and the registrant
with that number would be the first
man on the list of new registrantS.
and would be placed at the end of
the list of old regiStrants.
When every local board in WASH
tngton has finished preparing its
list of serial numbers assigned to
draft regiStrantS, the lists will all
be posted at the same time. Selec-
tive service officials did not expect
the lists to be ready before Friday
and possibly later.
On the day announced for post
ing the lists of new registrants, local
boards will post in their own Offices.
Because 1t would flood board tele-
phones and keep them from the
more immediate job of classifying
and processing old registrants for
induction, no telephone inquiries on
serial numbers will be answered.
OF No Immediate Concern.
Hoping to avert serious crowding
of local board Offices on the day the
serial numbers are posted, selec-
tive service officials pointed out
thatthe order number was what the
registrant really wants to know and
suggested that even order num-
bers should cause no immediate
concern since the new registrants
will not be called up for several
months.
The posting of serial numbers was
much simpler after the first regis
tration in October, 1910. because the
boards then occupied school build
ings and could post the lists around
gymnasium walls instead of in small
board Offices such as they now
occupy.
In other ways, however, despite
the fact that the day-to-day job of
keeping ahead of selective service
quotas keeps them busy, the local
boards this week will not be faced
by many of the obstacles that pre-
ceded the first national lottery of
the emergency.
In the first place, instead of hav-
ing three weeks, as they did this
time, between the registration and
the time they start serial number

Christie had crossed the room

"These, Miss Christie. They've

CORN MOVEMENT
Sending Grain From Lake
Ports To Eastern
Seaboard

CHICAGO, July 6 Up Grain
trade reports indicated today the
government is continuing to move
corn from lake ports to eastern
destinations probably for lend-lease
export to Great Britain. "
Shipments from here today were
reported at 1n7, 900 bushels and Du-
luth put afloat close to 100000
bushels last week, some of which
was understood to be government
owned grain being moved east for
lend lease shipment. Possibly S.
100000 bushels may be exported
under lend-lease traders said.
The Commodity Credit Corpora
ton sold slightly more than $780,
900 bushels of its corn during the
week ending June q, bringing
stocks down to about $1,000, 900
bushels. Farmers had redeemed
4,239,272 bushels of 1941, leaving
still under government loans 105,-
988 200 bushels.
The Baldwin Elevator Co., Deca-
tur, ILL.,. in the heart of the soybean
producing belt, said a small acre
-,~'r>' rs TO be planted to beans.
Some replanting also must be done
in drowned out fields. In some
cases fields have been seeded for
the third time because of wet
weather.
'There will be larger acreage
of thin stands than normal as well
as many grassy fields. Weeds are
not as serious in soybean produc-
ton as grass. With the spotted con-
not as eriou in oybean produc-
ton a grass. With the spotted con-
dition and lateness of the crop,
even with favorable growing
weather in the future, average
yields equal to those of past years
can hardly be expected" the Bald
win report said. However, the firm
pointed out acreage will be the
largest on record. 3

Cold Wave Brings Damage
To Brazilian Coffee Crop

RIO DE JANE1RO, July 6-P-
Heavy damage to BraziPs coffee
crop was reported today from a
cold wave which brought the low.
est temperatures in Is winters to
the southern states of this South
American republic.
Coffee buyers, whose warehouses
are bulging with coffee they have
been unable to ship to the United
States, thought the possibility OF
smaller crops offered a partial So
luton for their surplus problem.
Shipping space is the real answer,
they said, pointing out that "a
other products lead coffee in prior
tiles on cargo space.
Shivering Brazilians - it's Win
ter here when it's summer in
North America-heard that tn e
coffee crop in Parana state might
be cut so per cent and that the
big state of Sac Paulo, which
grows two-thirds of Brazips cof-
fee, might lose 40 per cent to the
freeze.
Trade quarters predicted losses
might run to $25,000,000 as the
weather forecast warned of three
more days of low temperatures.
It was explained that the cold
would not affect the current crop,
already matured, but damage to
trees would cut into future pros
poets.
