Draft Questions and Answers
Inductions Of First Of Teen Ayers
Expected Within 80 to 40 Doys

Hershey estimated inductions could
begin generally In 80 to 40 days after
the President signed the bill.
@. What about the 18-year-olds
who haven't been registered and
those who become 18 later?
A. Regulations for their registra-
ton will be issued by the President
who may set specific registration
dates or provide that each youth
shall register within designated
time after he reaches 18. After
that, they will be subject to induc-
ton at the call of their draft boards.
Student Deferments.
Q. Will youths be taken out of
school for the armed forces?
A. Those in high school who are
called during the last half of the
school year may be deferred until
next July l If they ask it to finish
out the year. Collegians in. Reserve
units will not be drafted, but will
remain subject to call to active duty
at any time. Other collegians who
are physically f1t will be subject to
induction.
@. What will be the effect on the
colleges?
A. This hasn't received oficial
,clarif1cation yet. Representative
Sparkman, Democrat, of Alabama
said the Army would put selected
men through college courses of to
~ months at Government expense,
making the selections after these
men have been inducted. The Navy
has not revealed its plans. Nearly
so small colleges closed before the
teen-age bill passed.
@. What effect will the teen-age
draft have on married men?
A. It will lessen the number of
them drafted to the extent to which
teen ayers are taken to meet the
Army calls. This could mean in
terruption or postponement of the
calling of married men for two
months or more, or greatly ease calls
on them for that period and tighten
such calls indefinitely. Generally
speaking, it will practically assure
married men with children that they
will not be called before October /,
1943, at the earliest.

Tire Mileage
Forms Ready
In Nearby Areas
Maryland , Virginia
Urge Motorists
To Mail bIonks

Tire registration forms for the
new mileage rationing" program
are now available in all Of the
nearby Maryland and Virginia areas
and may be obtained by motorists
from oflcial inspection stations an
nounced by The Star during the past
week.
At the same time Maryland OPA
Director Leo H. Mccormick again
warned motorists that only nve
tires per car are allowed and that
all in excess of that number must
be disposed of on or before Novem-
ber a..
In some of the areas, the forms are
available at most filling stations
while others have been limited to
stations which are to make the in
spections.
Mailing of Forms Asked.
Neither Maryland nor Virginia re-
quires motorists to register in person,
as does the District. In fact, most
board officials are discouraging any
inquiries either at their Offices or at
che places where the forms are OBJ
tanned. The nearby residents are to
mail their forms which they them
selves fill out to the main rationing
boards in their respective areas
except in Montgomery County where
residents should mail them to either
the Rockville, Silver Spring or
Bethesda Board, dependent upon the
area in which they live.
Montgomery County and Fairfax
County officials met with inspec-
ton station operators last night
and made the ration blanks avail
able for the first time today.
Gas and tire rationing may cut
down the number of miles Mary
land motorists travel these days, but
survey shows that there are prob
ably more cars on highways than
ever before, the Associated Press
reported.
Out-of- State Cars.
State records show that 513,742
motor vehicles are now registered.
That's a drop of 1918 from last
years record figure, the Associated
PresS reported.
On the other hand, State officials,
dealers and auto club agents report
that the drop Is more than Offset
by the number of out-of-State cars
now in Maryland. These sources
said that the increased number Of
cars on the road indicates that
rationing is prolonging the life Of
tires and that the driving public
has succeeded in keeping older
autos rolling.
Garage operators reported boom
In repair work, but say they are
hampered by lack of skilled me-
chanics. So far, there has been
no acute shortage of replacement
parts.

Hearings 10 Resume
Sept. q on ". 90. D.
Passenger Service
Officials of Railroad
Silent Except to
Deny Sabotage Attempts

AS the Virginia State Corporation
Comission proceeded with plans to
reopen public hearings on the issue,
officials of the Washington & Old
Dominion Railroad Co. today main
tanned silence in report recon-
mending that the transit firm re-
store passenger service between
Rosslyn and Leesburg.
However, the officials did break
their silence on one point, denying
emphatically that efforts have been
made to Sabotage" the railroad.
The State Corporation Commits
sion has announced that on Septem-
Der % it will reopen the case, in
which Northern Virginia residents
petitioned for an order to restore
passenger service from Rosslyn to
Purcellville.
To Hear Consultant's Views.
The commission indicated it will
reopen the hearing to receive evil
dence in the form of testimony and
the report of Col Noten D. Ballen-
| tine, transportation consultant OF
New York City, who has found that
the service can be restored on an
experimental basis with little ex-
pense and no capital expenditure on
the company's p It, and that such
restoration is justified by public
demand.
G. c. Baggett, vice president and
general manager of the line, denied
the alleged sabotage attempts. Col
Ballentine reported that on his in
spection trip of September l, an
emergency stop was made to remove
a timber from the tracks and that
the superintendent" said such oc-
casions were not infrequent. The
consultant comented that the al
legged occurrences might be due tc
public resentment over the railroads
refusal to resume passenger service
There has been no such attempt
to wreck the train in the 20 years
I have been with the company,
Mr.. Baggett said. Furthermore
we don't have superintendent
Our relations with the public have
| always been most cordial"
To Wait for Hearing.
Asked to comment on other phases

Maryland Held
Suffering From
Milk Shortage
State OPA Director
Hits 'Cross-RouIinq'
As WustefuI

On the heels of District Commis-
sioners' order extending the Wash
ington milkshed 100 miles to avert
a supply shortage. Leo H. McCor-
mick, Maryland OPA director, said
a similar shortage exists in that
state. Tires and gasoline are need
lessly wasted by hauling into Mary
land milk to replace that which is
taken out of the State, he said.
The commissioners extende d
Washington's milkshed from a ra-
dius of $50 to $50 miles following re-
ports OF an impending shortage from
Health Officer George C. Rutland
and B. B. Derrick, manager of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association. The action is
expected to tap supplies in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
other areas.
Mr.. Mccormick declared that in
Maryland series of cross-hauling
operations" had resulted in chaotic
waste of tires and gasoline, the Asso-
ciated Press reported from Baltl-
more
He said milk buyers had been COM
Ing into Maryland to get supplies
while Free State dairymen had been
forced to bring in milk from out of
State to meet the demand of their
own customers.
Ask Increase in Prices.
Mr.. Mccormick said representa-
tives from his Office had been sent
to New York and Washington in
search of some solution of the
Maryland milk problem, the Asso-
ciated Press reported.
Earlier, the OPA had called a
meeting of dairymen to consider
existing shortages of milk in some
parts of the State" and the Mary
land milk producers made three
recommendations.
These were: That the ceiling price
on milk be increased, to bring
the producers greater profits and
helghten their interest in lifting
@AAAAAA o0ePaV W 1lCW HNdhS.
That either butter fat or raw milk
be ratloned to the consumer.
That zones be set up to prevent
interstate market raiding."
In this latter connection. Mr.. Nc
Cormick noted that an alarming"
transportation problem had been
created indirectly by the milk
shortage.
Dairymen Complain.
Mr.. Mccormick said dairymen
from Baltimore, Salisbury, Easton,
Elkton. Cumberland, Oakland, Hag-
erstoWn, Frederick, Hyattsville and
Annapolis attended a meeting called !
by the OPA because of existing |
shortages of milk in some parts of i
the State and threatened shortages
in other sections"
The dairymen told the OPA ex-
ecutive that the increased cost of |
food, loss of farm workers to de-
fense industries, attractive prices for
beef with resultant sale in the beef
market rather than keeping cattle
in dairy herds and the influx of de-
fense workers had caused the Short
age.
Mr.. Mccormick said the problem
was one which should be solved on
regional or national basis. That !
is why we sent our men to New York |
and Washington" he said, so they
can take steps in the proper way to
relieve this situation"

ogist and spy master, was patri-
otic fanatic, thorough to a fault,
and utterly ruthless. To her. espi-
onage was a deadly, serious business,
and to her there was as little excuse
for stupidity as for treachery. Both
met with the same unpleasant and
drastic treatment.
At the close OF the war, she
dropped from sight so completely
that it was enormously claimed that
she had never been, but was a leg
endary character, born of the war.
However, in 1885, she was heard OF
again.
The pattern OF espionage does not
change, so this time we find her
once more in the service Of the
Reich, this time training spies for
Adolph Hitler. Her second career
as spy-mistress was short lived, how
ever. for soon she disappeared from
the scene once more.
Still \ Perfectionist.
All the factors which led to her
withdrawal from this enterprise are
not known. However, early reports
indicated that she was still a per-
fectionist, and would make no COM
promise on this point. To her q
stupid party member was just an
other blunderer, and was treated as
such. It has been suggested that the
final break came when she rejected
Gocring's demand for special and
lurid, uniform for spies.
Nevertheless, espionage principles
which she organized are today used
by Axis agents.
To discover today's spies, study
those of yesterday.
