Both Houses Expected
To Ratify Compromise
Fathers Draft Bill

Both branches of Congress are ex-
pected to ratify before the end of
the week the compromise father
draft bill agreed on by conferees
yesterday, placing pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers at the bottom of the list of
nondeferred men, on nationwide
basis.
The measure will not prevent the
induction of these fathers, but is de-
signed to clear up any doubt in the
minds of local board members about
the status of fathers, by writing into
law the principle of the Kilday plan,
which selective service officials say
they have been endeavoring to fol-
low since early this year.
House conferees also were largely
successful in their fight to center
control over draft policies in the
director of selective service, Mai.
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, instead of
War Manpower Chairman Paul v
McNutt. The compromise actually
vests all authority under the act in
the President, but it provides that
if he delegates it to anyone, it must
be the director of Selective service
Ban Aimed at McNutt.
In another House victory, the con-
ference agreement prohibits the in
duction of men because of their oc-
cupations, or by occupational groups,
except medical specialists whose
services may be requisitioned by the
armed forces. This ban is aimed at
Mr.. McNutt's work fight orders,
issued early this year, listing GER
tain occupations as non-deferrable
and subject to induction.
The conferees retained the new
procedure for handling occupational
deferments of men who leave home
to work in a war factory in another
State. The appeal board in the area
of the factory would review the de-
cision of the local board back home
Evening star., 1943-11-17

In the House bill the decision of that
appeal board was made final .un-
less changed by Gen. Hershey. The
conferees gave the final determine
ton to the President.
Also retained is the direction to
the President to appoint q five-man
medical commission to review the
physical, moral and mental require
mentS OF the Army and Navy, to
determine whether more 4-F regis
trants could be taken by relaxing
present requirements. Not more
than one of the doctors could be
from the Army and one from the
Navy, the other three to be civilian
physicians.
Authority Delegated.
In many places in the bill the
conferees specified that the author
ity in the bill is conferred on the
President Near the end of the bill,
however, the House had written in
a general clause under which the
President was, directed" to delegate
"all" authority under this act to
the director of selective service.
The conferees struck out the direc-
ton, but substituted provision
that "the President is authorized to

delegate to the director of selective
service only any authority" under
the act. This was construed to
mean that he may administer 1t
himself, but If not he can delegate
it only to Gen. Hershey.
In requiring that pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers be taken last among men
not deferred for other reasons the
committee wrote in safeguarding
language to give draft officials suf-
f1cient leeway so that the filing Of
quotas will no" be interfered with.
First action on the conference re-
port will be taken by the House
probably tomorrow.

Louisiono's Lost Ghost Still Trying to Find His Wife

- HE muffled oars welded by
the famous "rowboat" ghost
u of Louisiana are echoing
again these days in the Delta
country and the residents know
that the wrath which paddles on
Lost River once more is making
his annual search for a certain
spot on the Mississippi from
which the false stream strayed
many years ago.
The frequent and piercing
screams of a child keep time to
the steady swish of the eerie
oars and the old fishermen and
their wives and children bolt
their cabin doors and stay away
from their fishing lines as long
as the strange visitor is navigat-
ing the channel.
Local legend has il that the
"rowboat" ghost, emulating the
classic Charon of Greek mythol-
ogy who ceaselessly crossed the
immortal river of the dead is
rowing about the shade of his
homesick child in a fruitless eff
fort TO find the house they once
occupied on the banks of the
Father of Waters. Since the
father and child died, the Missis.
sippi has changed its course and

turned away from Lost River.
The fishermen of the stream
say the "rowboat" ghost is look
ing for his dwelling-that was
washed away in a historic Missis-
sippi flood-to find his young
wife who was drowned in the
catastrophe. Father and son es-
capped the rushing torrent, later
to die from exposure, but the
body of the wife and mother
never was found.

On his d e tn b e d, Ephraim
Custer, Of Mix, Louisiana, told
relatives that he would find his
wife in the hereafter, or meet her
ghost on the site Of their old

passed, " however, Ephraim's last
vow was forgotten by many per-
sons but not by the superstitious
river people

the old Custer house Has been

stream has been of great interest
to inland waterway engineers.
For no apparent cause, the river
abandoned its channel AS the
years went by the Mississippi

today Lost River is much like

THE BIG BUSINESS OF BEING SENTIMENTAL

IT MAY be true. as the old
saying goes, that there is no
] place for sentiment i'm bust

is plenty of business in senti-
ment.

million dollars during the past

Most OF these. OF course, are
sent out during the Christmas
season. But second place i'm the
matter OF sales goes 20 st Valen-
tines Day Tied for third place
are Easter and Mothers Day.
During the past week just in
case you haven't looked at the
calendar, today is February IA
the mails were swamped with
millions of Cupid's greetings.
Sentiment runs high in war
time. and more valentines than
ever before were exchanged
perhaps because love is one of
the few things not on the ration
list.
The business Of saying the
right thing in the proper way is
such a big industry that over 100
plants and studios throughout
this country do nothing but turn
out greeting cards the year
round
The pictures on this page,
taken in one of these plants,
show some of the work that goes
into the creation Of the lacy and

still is rich with the fish it car
ried from the bosom of the
Father of Waters.
The legend of the Custer oath
has been handed down since the
days when Louisiana was frontier
country. No living man remem-
bers Lost River other than it is
today Geodetic experts are con-
WINGED that it once was part of
OF Man River-but they're I'M
decided whether the parent
stream deserted Lost River. or
whether Lost River just ran
away.
Legend has it that a century
ago fishermen's wives on the
stream each morning left milk
on the pier for the crying child.
Later, each day. the bottle was
found empty and washed clean.
Unlike other spooks, the row
boat" ghost rarely has been seen.
The only way people know he is
around, as a rule, is the sound
of his oars and the screams Of
the child. Once, however, in
June of last year, Mrs. Agnes
lilly, Of Mix, peered into the
gloom when she heard the oars
and saw an outmoded skiff, glow
ing in the darkness. Instead of
riding on the waters, she says,
it seemed to be waited along a
few inches above the surface.
Clusters ghost, she swears,
pushed the boat forward by fan
ming the air with two long and
phosphorescent oars. Huddled in
the prows, he said, was an infant
wrapped in thin wisps of white
cloth that were waving wildly.
The expression on Clusters face
was one of great sadness as he
scanned the distant shores for a
familiar landmark.
Now that the "rowboat" ghost
has returned this year, Mrs. lilly
plans to test the legend still fur
Their by placing a quart of milk
on a landing pier, equipped this
time with a rubber baby nipple
in case the baby ghost really is
hungry. Mrs. lilly says she
also will leave a down blanket
beside the bottle to keep the wall
ing infant warm.
Remembering the stories their
grandparents told of the row
boat" ghost, none of Mrs. Tilly's
neighbors is inclined TO ridicule
her. They just shake their heads
knowingly. There is hardly a
soul in the vicinity of Lost River
who has not heard the eerie
swish of oars, that were not &C
companied by the splashing of
water.
When Mrs. lilly reported that
Nllt BOdI sic saw was llOdllllS III
the air, above the surface of Lost
River, the neighbors did not ques-
ton her story. While they had
only heard the ghost, they rea-
soned that Mrs. lilly had some
power enabling her actually to
view it, and they await her re-
port on the outcome of her milk
and down blanket Offering.
If Custer could somehow be
told that the Mississippi had
changed its course and that he
is on the wrong river, the fisher
folk believe, he would find the
site Of his homestead and there
would be a touching reunion.
But, until Custer finds his
bearings, the fishermen expect
his visits to continue indefinitely.

named after one of the most

calendar is equally puzzling.
st. Valentine was an early
Christian bishop, prosecuted and
beheaded in the third century,
during the reign of the Emperor
Claudius. According to some au-

married young lovers despite the
Emperor's ban on marriage-ac-
