Pettigrew, who just then looked
around, stared. The others paid no
attention.
Mr.. Wrinkle was indignant. It had
been bad enough to have certain
people laugh at him. But he hadn't
expected one of his fellow draftees
to make fun of him.
He decided that Freddie Tindall
didn't know any better and wasn't
worth bothering about. But Fred
die was the instrument Of something
else that really touched him. For
the first time Mr.. Wrinkle told him
self that he wasn't old. The others
were just young.
The chairman of the draft board
looked at his watch and then rose.
He made a little talk, while the
men all listened attentively, except
for Freddie Tindall, who gazed in
dolently out the window.
The chairman explained that they
had all been chosen fairly, strictly
according to the Selective Service
regulations. They were being asked
to do a serious thing at serious
time. He knew each would do it
to the best of his ability. He wished
them good luck. He said that the
roll would now be called. Each
man, at his name, was to come for
ward and receive his papers and
small going-away kit furnished by
the Women Volunteers.
IA leader" he concluded, ais be-
ing appointed for you, and you are
required to obey him on the way to
your Induction Center. The senior
member among you, Mr.. Wilbert
Wrinkle, will be your leader"
Mr.. Wrinkle was lattered. He was
glad for the responsibility. It would
help take his mind off himself.
Freddie Tindall leaned toward him
and inquired, How do you like be-
ing big shot, Pop?"
Mr.. Wrinkle saw that he was 60
ing to have trouble with Freddie.
The men began to 60 up. Mr..
Wrinkles was the last name called.
He received his kit. contained in
brown imitation leather packet.
Each of the draft board members
shook his hand. He was given his
own papers, and then instructions
about a number of other documents
for the group. The clerk was read.

pleted its first rendition, took up an

draftees. There was a scattering OF

applause from the crowd Mr. VIM
kle saw that some of the people had
little American flags, which they
waved.
Those who carried suitcases piled
them in the cars of the draft board
members. Then the chairman lined
up the selectees in a ragged forma-
ton, four abreast, in back of the
band. Mr.. Wrinkle was placed at
their head, out in front all by HIM
self. He didn't care for this distinc-
ton, but he couldn't refuse it. The
attention thus drawn to him, and the
noise and the staring, cheering peo-
pie, beWildered him.
They marched off behind the blar-
ing band, and Mr.. Wrinkle couldn't
get over how the music sent chill
up his spine, stirring him. 1t hadn't
been so long ago that he was firmly
convinced martial music was an evil
thing, squirting people to war.
Part of the crowd walked along
with the procession, keeping pace
with it. The sporadic cheering and
handclapping kept up as more peo-
pie were passed along the route.
The parade went right through red
traffic light.
Mr.. Wrinkle marched stiff1y. He
tried to keep in time with the mu-
sic, but found it difficult, and finally
gave it up. He wondered what the
other men were doing, but didn't
look back to see. Once someone in
the crowd on the sidewalk called
out: eli, Wrinkle! Grind their Axis
for them!"

"They WILL" said Mrs. Wrinkle,
"when they find out how you catch
cold right away if you get your feet

Mr.. Wrinkle didn't argue about it,
but let her have her way. After
all, he was leaving tomorrow, and
she would be alone except for Pc
nelope.
He seated himself in an armchair,
and Mrs. Wrinkle came to stand be-
fore him. There was peculiar look
on her face. "Wilbert," she whis-
pered.
He glanced up. He didn't under
stand at first what she wanted, but
was prepared for it when he did. BY
this time he was getting accustomed
to almost any surprise.

modest general repair shop in the alley
back Of his home, is notified by his draft
board that he Is in la. He is very much
surprised, as he had thought that his
many physical handicaps would keep him

wife, Amy, who has always domineered
him, and goes to work without kissing
her goodby. His picture appears in the

had put on her plumpness since the
last time. Mr.. Wrinkle found her
somewhat heavy, but not disagree
ably so.
She rested her head on his Shout
der, smuggling her face against his
neck, and he put one of his arms
around her waist. Penelope gazed
at them curiously, as if she found
the scene not quite proper.

Mr.. Wrinkle was startled. He has

nothing for her to worry about on
that score. He told her he wasn't
tired of her and that he wasn't in

She sat bolt upright on his lap.

President Speeds Data
For Reconversion
By the Associated Press.

A Census Bureau statistical rec
ord OF Americas tremendous war
output, to be used as a guide to
postwar industrial reconversion has
been ordered by President Roose-
welt.
Under the order, contained in a
letter to Budget Director Harold
Smith, the report on the tremen-
dous industrial production of 1914
Will be speeded up and the biennial
census Of manufacturers, which Or
dlnarily would be compiled in 1916
and would cover 1945 production
will be moved up a year.
In his letter to Mr.. Smith. the
President said:
The recent favorable develop
ment OF the military situation on
the worlds battle fronts has en-
phasized the need to speed up prep
arations for the eventual reconver-
sion Of the Nations productive
energies to peaceful pursuits. I.
1t will call for a great deal of ac-
curate and comprehensive informa-
ton concerning industrial produc-
ton. the status of industry and the
well-being of the Nations workers. ="
Mr.. Smith had submitted a state
ment to the President saying there
has been no general census of manu-
facturers since 1910, covering 1899
production. The l94l and 1943 CEN
suses were laid aside as part of the
wartime curtailment of peacetime
activities. The budget statement
said it was desirable at once to close

Hull Says Germans
Will Be Punished for
Warsaw 0utrages

Secretary of State Hull declared
today that Germans guilty OF out
RACES against the civilian popula-
ton of Warsaw will not escape the
justice they deserve"
His statement was made in reply
to a memorandum filed with the
State Department by Ambassador
Jan Cicchanowski of Poland which
said that 10000 Polish civilians
were facing death in concentration
camp outside of Warsaw.
Last night the State Department
had warned Germany that it would
be held accountable for any viola
tions Of the rules of war in its treat
ment of the Polish Home Army.
Today Mr.. Hull amplified this and
gave direct answer to the Polish
Ambassador by saying:
I'VE have repeatedly warned the
Germans of the certain conse-
quences of inhuman acts of this
character. Those guilty of the pres
ent outrages against the civilian
population of Warsaw will not es-
cape the justice they deserve"
Might Apply Moscow Agreement.
Apparently, although the State
Department did not so specify, the
Germans held to have violated the
rules of war in Poland would be
dealt with under terms Of the Mos
cow agreement of the United States,
Russia and Britain to punish
atrocities.
The departments statement yes
terday said:
The Government of the United
States has consistently adhered to
the view that all members of the
armed forces of the countries at war
with Germany, which are engaged
in active combat, should be treated
by German military authorities in
accordance with the laws and Gus
toms of war 1t has come to the
attention of this Government, how
ever, that the soldiers of the Polish
Home Army which is now engaged
in active military operations against
the common enemy are not being so
treated by the German military au-
thorities.
Home Army Combat Force.
THE Government of the United
States, therefore. declares
Il. The soldiers of the Polish
Home Army. which is now mobil-
lied, constitute combat force
operating against the Germans.
q. The soldiers of the Polish
Home Army are instructed to con-
duct their military operations in
accordance with rules of war and
in so doing they bear their arms
openly against the enemy and are
provided with a distinctive emblem
or with Polish uniforms.
80 In these circumstances re-
prisals by the German military au-
thorities against the soldiers of the
Polish Home Army violate the rules
Of war by which Germany is
bound. The United States Gov
ernment, therefore, solemnly warns
all Germans who take part in or
are in any way responsible for such
violations that they do so at their
peril and will be held ansWerable
for their crimes
