Willie R0sen

Willie (The Wastepaper MANI
Rosen, seeker par excellence
after publicity and one-time
special deputy sheriff, tasted the
dregs of despair yesterday
When-for eight and one half

The Rosen, who has haunted
various newspaper offices and

Allotment
Bi||NowLaw
Nay Now Reclassify
Married Men

WASHINGTON, June "a -
lP)-Presldent Roosevelt signed
the Service Mems Pay Allot-
ment and Allowance Bill today,
paving the way for financial aid
to dependents of fighting men
and reclasSification of married
men for the draft.
Providing for Federal pay
ments to supplement allotments
from service mems pay checks
to support their dependents, the
legislation also contains pro-
vision enunciating a Congress
ional policy that selective SER
vice should mot break up the
institution of the home
To carry out this policy, Con-
',ress wrote into the Bill author
it, for selective service officials
to defer any and all cate
gories of men having depend
ents with whom they maintain
a bona fide family relationship
in their homes.
Under this provision, mem
bers Of the House Military AT
fairs Committee said, selective
service probably soon would set
up separate groups within the
regiStrants now in class three.
In the first group would be men
with working wife, in the next
men with a non-working wife.
then men with one child and on
down the line. Before any men
in class three would be induct-
ed, all eligible regiStrants from
classes one and two would be
called.
The legislation recognizes the
financial aspects of dependency
but departs from existing policy
in that it stresses the family re-
ldtlOnSnlp.
Congress wrote in the defer
ment provision after members
voiced fear the allotments pro-
vided for in the legislation
might persuade local draft
boards to start drafting men
with dependents on the ground
tho payments provided were adj
equate to maintain the depend
ents. While the payments are
to be considered by draft boards,
Congress emphasized that they
were not TO be deemed conclu-
sively to remove the grounds for
deferment.

Mount Clemens is definitely
set for its blackout tonight, and
it will be a complete and realistic
rehearsal of what people will try
to do during an actual air raid,
Harold Lindsey, city coordinator
said this morning.
The blackout will be common
to Oakland, Wayne and Macomb
counties and is intended to test
the efficiency with which this
section which contains 30 per
cent of the total American war
effort on production can be
BACKED out in the event of a
raid such as have hit English and
other industrial areas in the var
iouS war zones.
The zero hour will be at 1912
and the blackout will continue
until 1925.

Since the last county blackout
the communications system has
been completely gone over by
George Ames, county communi-
cations officer of the telephone
