The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-08-04

Drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers may be deferred later than Oct. 1 in Connecticut as result of survey ordered by State Selec- tive Service Director John F. Rob- rlaon.
 The survey, already ll.as" way in Waterbury, will determine whether "the combined total of single and childless married men in the state will be sufficient to fill anticipated calls for the next few months"
 Local draft board officials de- clined to comment in accordance with orders from the state-govern- ing officials.
 Robinson acted after Washington announced that fathers in the pre- Pearl Harbor category probably woul be called as early as October l,
 Drafting in Connecticut has been on a statewide basis since March and Robinson pointed to the fact that although the supply of single men in some draft boards might be almost exhausted, the deficiency can be met by taking men from other boards.
 One local official pointed out today that the Unregistered 18-year- olds may help offset the order should Washington reiterate it's demand for drafting pre-Pearl Harbor fathers.
 The same official revealed that the local boards will pool their names for the purpose of avoiding the drafting of P-P-H fathers.
 Occupational deferment time limits are also running out. many of which will not be renewed unless their occupations can not be re- filled by lesser skilled operators, said the official.
 However the local boards expect to meet their August, September and October quotas without calling up P-P-H fathers, said the official. Every contingent that leaves Water bury has some fathers, however, the majority of them never took the ad- vice from Washington which or dered them to get into some essen- tial industry if they wished to be deferred on the grounds of contrib uting in some beneficial manner to the war effort.
 A study of the invloved type of language used by the W.M.C. re- veals the following item which is of interest to those inferred: "Those fathers who are key men in agri-

 Again they went on. They climbed to the top of the Tower of David and heard the tsory of the Romans onslaught; he y paused on the Noun tof Olives for look et the old city behind its ancient, towering wall; they felt their way down the worn steps of an old synagogue; they listened to the lamentations of the Jews before the Wai!ing Wall.
 Then in the e ening, after sun set, they found their way to a little restaurant outside the city, where a photograph played dance records of Glen Miller and Harry James. Pretty girls, carefully chosen by the Committee of the Jewish Service club, danced with them.
 Each day from one to six bus loads of soldiers make the tour of the Holy City as part of the re- creational program of Special Services of the Army Service Forces. Working with the Amer ican Red Cross, the Army sends convalescents from the hospitals, or men who deserve special furloughs for duty we'll done, to an Army Ser vice Forces rest camp near Tel Aviv, on the Palestine coast.
 INEXPENSIVE TOUR
 There they receive free beds and free meals, and for a few dollars, to cover the expense the trip to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The av- craze soldier remains four days. Two of those days he devotes to the tour.
 The rest of the time he swims in the blue Mediterranean at a special beach leased by the Army for Americans Id their guests. The guests are girls, chosen, like those at Jerusalem, from among the best families. There are dances on an open-air floor, moonlight parties on the beach wiener roasts.
 Special Service Division of Army Service Forces plans to set up other rest camps and to conduct other tours in conjunction with the Amer ican Red Cross to other historical spots in the Middle East. The Army knows that between battles a sold fer should not be idle; his morale must be kept up by entertainment.

Jerusalem, Aug. 2-An ancient bus, overloaded with American sold iers on furlough. rolled up the long hill on the road to Jericho wh gre "a Certain Man" once was walking when he fell among thieves. These were quiet soldiers. Their eyes had looked on holp places; their feet had trod on sacred ground.
 A farm boy from Nebraska, fresh out of the hospital aftes having caught a machine gun slug at Kassarine, was sitting be- side an Irish lad from Brooklyn. Together they had seen the little town of Bethlehem, and h Brooklyn boy had pointed out the shepherds tending their flocks in the fields. Together they had crossed the River Jordan, and had stood on the shores of the great Dead Sea.

 The bus grumbled to halt and 40 young Americans climbed out, A stout little brown man, on loan from the Heb ew university as a guide, took his place at the head of a ragged column and led the way up a little hill and through an iron gate. One by one the Americans took off their caps as they stepped into a small, ancient garden.
 "We are standing in the Garden of Gesthemene," the guide began, speaking slowly. The boy from Brooklyn started to make the sign of the Cross. Here under these same olive trees-they are two thousand years old, these trees, and will never die-here Jesus Christ spoke to Peter. v
