Gated that drafting Of men with
children would soon begin.
While the War Department an
nouncement OF the furlough extern
sion from seven to IA days did not
mention induction OF fathers, the
move was viewed as a preliminary
step in that direction.
Head of families normally would
require more time to settle their
affairs and make arrangements for
their dependents than single men
or married men without children
In apparent recognition Of this fact,
the department said that the fur.

to 81 days this summer.
In recent testimony before Con

For protection in case of an air

to be that the first floor OF steel

cause walls are generally collaps

safer than the basement. In case

advice on defense methods. Use OF
sand or a spray OF water as recon-
mended earlier by the Office OF

A jet or direct stream OF water Is
