States Ordered
To Draft All
Single Men First

WASHINGTON-(S N S)-Maj
General Lewis B. Hershey Tuesday
instructed state selective service
directors to arrange induction calls
so that married men would not
be drafted in some localities while
single men were still uncalled in
others.
The selective service director said
state officials should arrange their
calls on local boards 80 as to
place the heaviest load right now
on boards having the most single
men, or men with collateral de-
pendents only"
HerSheyS memorandum to state
directors also instructed local
boards to complete by October 16
the initial classification of all
regiStrantS.
This speed-up must be made, he
said, because "the serious military
situation" requires that the selec-
tive service system be prepared to
fill calls in 1943 which will be
equal to or in excess of the MONTH
~ calls made in August, September
and October of this year."
The procedure, Hershey added.
Will tend to level off inductions
with "the ultimate objective of
calling men from the small town
and from the city on an approx
mately uniform basis"
Hershey reiterated a selective
service policy to follow the order
Of dependency deferments' estab-
lished in the Dependents Allow
ance Act.
Registrars having wives and
children, Or children alone, with
whom "bona-fide home" is MAIN
tanned, and who were married be-
fore, December 8, 1941, at a time
when selection for service was not
imminent, will not be placed in
Glass la, available for immediate
induction, Hershey assured
He declared, however, that as
needs for occupational deferments
expire, single men and others not
conforming to the type currently
being indicted, will be called.
Local boards were instructed to
begin promptly the reconsideration
of registrants in Glasses ga and
3-B who have collateral dependents
Registrars with collateral de-
pendents, Hershey said, are to be
indicted ahead of men who main
tain bona fide family homes.

from the House.
''All people who believe demo-
cracy must be extended at home
have a job to do:
WRITE a letter or post card to
the member of the House nj
Representatives from your dis
trict, telling him you want to
know what he's doing on the poll
tax front-both the soldiers vote
bill and the Pepper-Geyer bill. Ask
him to sign Discharge Petition No
to bring the bill to a vote, and
if he replies he has ask him to
show he means business by speak
ing on the floor of the House and
in public against the poll tax"
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1942-09-05
Draft Information

State headquarters of selective
service urged the local boards to-
day to classify all registrants as
they became twenty years of age
and subject to selection. They were
also urged to continue the CLASH
fication and Redistribution of all
registrantS with dependents so that
those single registrants with COL
lateral dependents would be select
ed first. Following the selection OF
this group in all local boards will
be the group with wives only as
dependents. 1t Colonel Lawrence
w. Long, State Director, stated,
Most of the local boards are now
completing the selection of all
single registrants with, or without,
dependents. 1t is anticipated that
the calls for October, November,
and December will be met with
registrants who are married with
wives only"
The number Of registrants select
ed, as well as the urgent demand
for military manpower, will deter
mine when the group in category
four-registrants with wives and
children with whom they maintain
a bonafide family relationship
will be used, but it is anticipated
that this group will be used about
January under our present anti
cipated needs.
The state director urged that
every registrant who is now in class
lila, avail himself of the oppor-
tunity to enter the Volunteer Off
Ger Candidate School, AS these
registrants are needed for induc-
ton, they will be reclassified by
the local boards into class II or I,
then the Volunteer Officer Candi-
date School is forever lost to them.
Each registrant now classified in
class III-A is urged to consult his
local board clerk for information
in regard to this school. Prompt
| action now should result in o
commission in the next few months.
Inaction should result in selection
as private within the next few
months.

never buy another thing in this
place"
Arizona smiled and placated,
while inwardly she burned at Pats
neglect. which was threatening the
loss of this valuable client. Mr.. Sell
borne, she assured him, should have
the third picture no matter who had
bought it. Slightly Modified, he pur-
chased the two available paintings
and carried them off with him.
When Pat was summoned, Ari-
zona few at him Immediately.
What happened to that third pic
ture? told you o"
''I'vegotit. I'vedecided to buyit!'
But Selborne's been in, and he
wants all three! He was poisonous
as a tarantula when he found one
was gone. I told him I'd get it back
and I mean to-"
Pats face was inscrutable, his
eyes like steel. ''Okay. III give it up,
but on one condition. I'll deliver it
in person right now, and you'll
. come along with me-
Fine! I'll have my chaps made
out of Mexican hairless -doghide if I
don't do just that" she declared
angrily. "And you can darn well
apologize to Mark Selborne at the
same timer'
When they got out of their taxi
at the Selborne mansion, Arizona
noticed another cab parking close
behind, but the occupant did not get
out. She thought this odd, but for
got the incident as she and Pat were
ushered into the great library. For
as soon as the servant had gone in
search of Mr.. Selborne. Pat did an
extraordinary thing.
CARRYING the Di Chico to a win
dow. he held it at a carefully adjust
ed angle and asked Arizona to look
at it closely. It was sunlit street
scene done in broad surfaces, with
the white wall of a house in the fore
ground. Arizona saw nothing else
for a moment; then she thrust closer.
"Well, I'm a lop p-eared jackrabbit
if there isn't dappled gray hoes
inside that wall!' she exclaimed.
That's why I kept it," Pat said
coolly. ''You like the creatures, 90
thought you might like painting
of one. And while l didn't intend to
exactly eise you this, it's going to
be a sort of present just the same.
Watch me!'

Pat produced small bottle of liquid
and, moistening his handkerchief,
began rubbing gently at the white
surface. Rapidly the horse became
clearer "a beautifully painted ami

said Pat, lis a famous Rosa Bon
heur."
Rosa Ben Hur?" said Arizona.
II thought that was book!
"A famous woman painter" cor
rected Pat. "Her stuff is worth
plenty and then some"
WHILE he was speaking, Mark Sell
borne had entered quietly. Seeing
what Pat was about, he tried to
make a quick exit. But instantly
Pat was on his feet, springing toward
the great collector and selling him.
Selborne tried desperately to break
loose, his face white with panic as
Pat put a whistle to his lips and
blew a shrill blast. Then from the
other side of the door Larry Sulli-
van appeared with a police officer.
Take him over, Larry!" Pat
said. did you get something under

"AWatteau and a Greuze. Checks

Pat turned to Arizona with a
grin. II told you this was a kind of

he said. showing her his FBI badge,
"for l hope I'm giving you back your

BY David ]. Wilkie,
Wide World.

Long ago, Charles F. Kettering began
advocating this bit OF logic:
I'VE should be much concerned about
the future; we're going to have to spend
the rest of our lives there!"
Today, he says very bluntly:
THE reason we have to fight this war
is that We haven't paid enough attention
to the future and have paid too much at
tenion to the past"
Kettering, TALL baldish, lumbering-
gated, Is head Of the General Motors
research division: he has been looking
into the future for decades. Out Of that
probing has come many inventions de-
signed to make life not only more secure
but more comfortable.
His list of contributions to mans well
fare is lengthy one. Here are few OF
them:
A mechanical starter for automobiles:
An automobile ignition system;
A method to paint an automobile in
one hour instead Of 81 days;
An automatically controlled airplane;
A type Of black light" that permits
reading in total darkness;
Manufacturing economies making mass
production practicable and mass owner
ship possible;
A fever" machine for the treatment
Of certain difficult diseases IL.
Any one of these inventions would be
sufficient achievement for an average
lifetime but Boss Ket" goes on, never
satisfied.
There isn't any mystery in the world"
he asserts: everything is simple provided
you have the proper understanding
That understanding apparently re-
quires infinite patience and willingness
Evening star., 1942-10-11
Boss Ket' Looks Into Tomorrow

to engage in ceaseless research, for Ket-
tering adds
"One OF the greatest things that has
the realization that We know SO little
about SO many things"
Spends Much Time Here.
Along with most leading authorities
in other fields, the 66-year-old Kettering
has a vital war job on his hands. 1t
probably was an unspoken tribute to his
place among the worlds scientist
inventors that he was named chairman
of the Inventors Council, which con-
sideIs and passes upon the Worth: o. in
ventions offered to the war effort. In
that job Kettering spends a great deal
Of his time in the Nations Capital.
Born on farm near Loudonville, Ohio,
August 20, 1876, Kettering has been a
school teacher, telephone lineman, an
electrical engineer, an inventor and
capitalist His earnings from teaching
at the normal school at Wooster enabled
him to enter Ohio State University,
where he was graduated in 1904 as the
best mathematician in his class.
He was one Of the founders Of the
Dayton Engineering Laboratories by
General Motors that brought him into
that great automotive company.
Kettering is positive in his belief that
only fraction Of the mileage potenti-
ality Of a gallon Of gasoline has yet been
realized. Many Of u.s." he points out.
'can remember when gasoline was known
only as good substance with which to
clean clothing"
The postwar period?
"one Of the things that Is going to
come out Of this war" he asserts, lis that
. We are not going to do anything a. we
did Il before. We are learning 1 lot
