Ban on Drafting Men
Over 26 Halls Action
On Arnold Bus Drivers
Five Not to Be lnducted
Under Policy Stated
BY Virginia Director

Five Arnold-operated bus drivers,
all over 26 years old. who were re-
classified la by Arlington County
Selective Service Board No. 2 fol-
lowing two-day work stoppage
lass week, will not be inducted into
the armed service-at least until the
ban on drafting men over 26 is
beted it appeared today.
Col. Mills F. Neal, Virginia selec-
tive service director, told The Star
that State. draft boards have been
ordered to call for induction only
men under 26. He said the only
exceptions to this, order are volun-
teers and men who have been found
delinquent or guilty of improper
registration.
The State director said he was
informed by Arlington board off,
cials that the five men were re-
classified because they we're no
longer making contribution to the
war effort" and the board took this
method of letting the public
know
He said that while local boards
have authority to reclassify any
of its registrants, the men also will
have right to appeal He reiter-
ated that no men over 26 are now
being indicted in Virginia
Meanwhile, Joseph L. Arnold, gen.
eral manager of the transportation
company, said he would appeal the
boards action on grounds that the
drivers are engaged in an essential
occupation.
j. Byron Brooks, board chairman,
said the men were reclassified be-
cause of their part in the work
stoppage, which tiled up the war
effort by leaving war workers with
out transportation
Officials of other draft boards In
nearby Virginia took no action to
reclassify Arnold drivers registered
with them, and Col. Neal said state
officials are assuming that Vir-
ginians are contributing to the war
effort and so far have not taken
cognizance of strikes.
Those reclassified were G. L.
Plummer, Martin w. Warner, John
w. Davidson, Milton Devers and
Robert D. Knicely. Two are be-
tween 26 and 80 and the others are
over 80.

20 minutes before returning guilty
verdict. States Attorney A. Gwynn

the second given in a criminal as
sault case during his five years in
ofnce. Two years ago a colored
man, Frank Haywood, was SEN
fenced to hang for attacking a
white woman, he said.
During a dramatic court session

entire case on whether or not the
plaintiff could identify her attacker
Murphy was placed unattended in
the courtroom and the woman was
brought In to take the stand as the
first witness. The defense asked her
to pick out her assailant. BY per-

 It happened last Easter Sunday, but Captain Burns just got around to telling it-outside of official re- ports-when a planeload of news paper correspondents was brought up here to see how the Air Trans port Command was operating over the North Atlantic route.
 SWEET CHARITY
 The big Fortress was en route from Goose Bay, Newfoundland, to Iceland and England. It ran out of gas over Greenland and set down on fjord, belly landing so success fully that not even the radio was knocked out. Communications were thus maintained throughout rescue operations, which added to the fun
 A transport dropped the stranded crew of ten men emergency SUD- plies. The transport, a C-46, was piloted by Capt-now Maj.-Ben- jamin Shiffrin of Hyannis, Mass. Shiffrin had been flying from BW-1 and BE-2, up the east coast of Greenland, when he heard the dis tress signals. He located the plane and intended to lead it back to a safe landing, but there just wasn't enough gas.
 Shiffrin stayed in the air for II or 12 hours that day, giving them directions and dropping them what supplies he had and could bring in. Among the supplies were 10 bottles of liquor, one for each man in the crew. Shiffrin had been taking this to his original destination, but he sacrificed it in the interests of sweet charity, first aid and rescue work befitting any upstatnding aerial St. Bernard dog.
 Two of the bottles were broken, however, and the flyers on the ground demanded replacements. Shiffrin brought them in. The youngsters got big kick out of

this and demanded chaser, On a later trip they were brought canned grapefruit juice.
 Red Cross supplies dropped in- cluded reading matter, and even candy, chewing gum, cigarettes and cigars made famous by the new butchers. Sleeping bags were dropped, too, but when some of the Fortress men complained that they hadn't slept well, air mat tresses were flown in to make things easier. And tents to keep off the snow.
 SANK THROUGH ICE
 It was three days before the weather cleared enough on the fjord for a plane to get in and land. Then Captain Burns took off in a little C. GA NorSeman, Single-engined high-wing plane equipped with skis for landing on the ice.
 He got away at 4 a. 1n., long before the northern sunrise, and when he landed his little plane on the ice alongside the crippled Fortress, some of the men were still in the now quite-comfortable sleeping bags. They still had one bottle of the whisky left.
 Captain Burns brought out five of the men on his first trip and then went back after the other five and some of the equipment, which he brought out or. his second trip. In all, he made 900 miles in his two mercy flights that day.
 The intention was to come back later to salvage the plane. The scheme was to bring in ticks, raise the plane so that the wheels could be lowered, put on new propellers and recondition the engines in an ef- fort to fly the ship off the ice. But they never got the chance, for the big plane sank through the ice, and on the bottom of Greenland fjord, any plane is beyond salvage. AS for the crewmen, they all went back to the States, and in time got another plane which they flew across successfully and into combat. Greenland doesn't want to list their names, now, for publica- tion, because where they all are now, Greenland doesn't know.

Bluie West One, Army air Base in Southern Greenland, Nov 3O-The way some people tell it, it's almost D pleasure to be forced down on khe Greenland ice cap, and rescued. It isn't a pleasure, of course, and bhe ones who aren't rescued can't tell their side of the story.
 But of approximately 26 planes that have been forced down on the Greenland ice since the start of She war, all were tactical aircraft which have to fly under conditions 1hat would ground civilian trans Aort planes. And of the Army per- bnnel which went down with the planes, 90 per cent have been res Sued.
 Bernt Balchen has told the early Jtories of this rescue work in his AWar Below Zero" Colonel Balchen was commanding officer at Bluie West Eight, 500 miles or so up the west Greenland coast from here.
