New Seleetees Get
] Week Deferments

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-(R
The inactive status period
granted newly-inducted draftees
before they begin military serv-
ice was ordered cut from two
weeks to one week by the War
Department today, effective
November 1.
"This step is a logical conse-
quence of the recent deferment
of agricultural workers, request
ed as a matter of national neces-
sity by the War Manpower Com
mission" Secretary of War Slim
son said in a statement.
these deferments in Novem-
Der make 1t necessary for US to
draw upon the men on inactive
status, in order that we may re-
ceive the number of men that the
Army must have. Otherwise
the War Manpower Commits
sion's action would result in
serious shortages next month.
1--WE are faced with a choice
between reducing the prelimin-
airy furlough period or deviating
from the program of full speed
ahead in the war effort. / be-
lieve that the men concerned will
approve of the alternative we
chose"

all about and we had a good

plies and cigarettes on the boat
and that helped a lot-especial-
ly the cigarettes.
I'VE had a good wind and
were able to sail on a direct
course for two full days. That
saved a lot of rowing"
This calm tale of heroism un-
der torturous conditions can be
matched a thousand times by the
u. S. Navy gun crews and mer-
chant seamen who risk death
constantly from bombs, bullets
and ice to deliver ornaments
and supplies to the hard-pressed
Russian armies.
FEWER LOSSES
Some conveys have had to
pay a price for the attempt to
get through, while recent ones

and submarines.
But almost to man the sur
vivors of bombings and sinkings
in the Arctic expressed q warm
desire to continue the battle
there or in whatever other ocean
an assignment took them.
The most blood-chilling story
from the convoy survivors came
from Ensign William Roy Kirby
of Coffeyville, Kas., in relating
his experiences of Sept. Is when
German torpedo bombers made
a mass attack.
1--WE were the leading ship in
the conveys starboard column"
he said. 1.-THE lead ship in an
other olu m n blew up with
flames shooting up about 800
feet - and then we got it. A tor
pedo hit in the hatch where we

Two more torpedoes crashed
into the vessel, which went
down in three minutes. All had

HITS CRITICISM
Stimson told an inquirer that
criticism of Davis and his staff
was wholly unjustified." He
said the changes already had
been initiated by the corps and
were based on experience but
did not disclose their nature.
Although the corps has re-
ceived upwards Of 100000 ap-
plications, only approximately
1900 appointments have been
made thus far, Stimson said,
and added that the organiza-
ton "has been facing certain
insuperable difficulties, but has
done valuable work."

Chickens Get
Official OK.
from City

Carl Christian, of 20 Gallup,
today had permission to build
chicken coop by a three-foot
margin and a 3 to ! vote of the
City Commission.
Surprisingly, the adverse vote
was cast by Frederick Brett
meyer, Jr., a first cousin of
Christians.
The chicken coop debate first
ragged week ago when commits
sioners sought to determine
whether an inhabited coop is
nuisance even with eggs selling
at 60 cents a dozen.
A 1911 city ordinance, it was
learned, prohibits the building OF
chicken coops 40 feet from the
nearest dwelling SO Sanitary In
spector Joseph Miller and En-
gineer Ernest Pettingill were or
dered to investigate and report
back last night.
Pettingill reported the pro-
posed coop is 43 feet from Chris
tian's home and Al feet from the
nearest of other dwellings.
There followed plenty of de-
bate but no action. Finally
Mayor Donald r. Westendorf put
the motion, observing II don't
think this is ambiguous" and
I'll take it on the nose"
Commissioner Henry Bruneel
finally seconded the motion
while allowing eggs had jumped
from so to IS cents a dozen dur
ing the week.
Westendorf. pointed out that
with alarm clocks impossible to
buy, more roosters will be need
ed to arouse householders in the
morning. Bruneel thought the
chickens would ease the garbage
collection problem and so it
went.
Breitmeyer declared himself
against the motion even though
Christian is my first cousin"
Westendorf, Bruneel and Com
missioner Edward j. Dubay sup
ported the motion and Commits
sioner Thomas G.. Longstaff was
absent.
