Men
FACE Draft
February. March
Set for Coll

LANSING. DEC. Lit. Col.
J. I. Croshaw of the State Selec-
tive Service headquarters de-
clared today the draft would
start taking married men in
Michigan in late February or
March.
The colonel emphasized that
in referring to married men, he
excluded those who were mar
ried since September 16, 1910,
in the face of imminent induc-
ton, asserting they have been
and still are subject to induc-
ton at any time.
Those married prior to the
1910 date are not now subject to
induction and need only appeal
to obtain deferment, he said.
Croshaw disclosed he was in
curing into reports some ID
and 19-year-old registrants are
being indicted into service. But
that to the best Of his knowledge
these were men who had enlist
ed. He said he expected draft
boards would start calling regis
trants in that age group late in
December and that January
would see a large number of
them called.
Michigan, he said, probably
will fall short of its stepped-up
December draft quota because Of
difficulties in interpreting or
ders for deferment of men en-
gagged in agricultural production
or employed in war plants. He
said the January quota will be
possibly by as much as
% per cent and should be filled
without much difficulty.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1-R-
About $4,000, 900 passenger cars
and 5000, 900 commercial vehi-
cles went on a mileage reducing
diet today as nationwide gaso-
line rationing set in to the &C.
compartment of both praise and
protest.
For II Eastern states where
the fuel curb was inaugurated
four and a half months ago, it
was just another day of restrict
ed driving. But for motorists
elsewhere, the old cry of "fill up
the tank" was newly outmoded.
More than 90 per cent of the
drivers in today's rationed area
have their basic "A" ration
cards, the office of Price A6-
ministration estimated, emitting
them to four gallons a coupon
calculated to be a weeks supply
The Eastern zone, with the ex-
ception Of West Virginia, gets
three gallons a coupon.
