John w. Breyfogle, Topeka pub

"The dramatic withdrawal Of

Senator Byrd as the Republican
candidate would not only receive
the support Of the Republicans, but
would receive the votes of millions
i of Jeffersonian Democrats who
would also place the needs of their
country first. His nomination would
be equivalent to his election. Els
election would bring that unity not

The group described 'Mr. Roose.

In regard to the White Paper"
The British White Paper halted

Outbreak Of Rabies
Widespread in 1943

One Of the worst rabies epidemfcs
in many years swept both the Dis
trict and the Nation in 1943, 1t was
revealed today by an Associated
Press summary and a study of
Health Department statistics.
In Washington, according to DR..
James @. Cumming, head of the
Health Departments Bureau of Com
Diseases, 104 animals were
found to be rabid last year and
ITO persons were bitten. Twenty
persons have been bitten here so
far this year. BY comparison, only
four cases of rabies were reported
here in the decade 1932-1942 and
all were traced to dogs which came
from other areas.
The national summary indicated
rabies was more widespread last
year than at any time in five years.
Preliminary Government reports
showed 33 human deaths from rabies
last year, while 7,348 animals died
from the disease In 1912 there
were only % human and 7,137 ami
NAL deaths.
One person died here last year
and one this year from being bitten
by rabid dogs. There were no deaths
reported in 1912.
I'm sorry to say there is about
as much rabies today as there was
10 or 20 years ago." said DR.. Harry
w. Schoening of the Agriculture
Departments Bureau of Animal
Husbandry. Progress has been dis

MI from men under 26 examined
Wednesday.
Other local boards in Arlington
County and nearby Maryland coun-
ties had not received orders cancel
ing induction of men over 26 In war
supporting jobs. They said no
action would be taken until the
order comes through from State
headquarters.
Lacking orders from national
headquarters, Philadelphia draft
board chairmen arranged last night
to accept for induction the men
over rs who reported this morning
but sent home men in that age
group who reported in the after
noon, the Associated Press reported
They explained they probably wo,ild
nave the orders by the time the
men reported Tor induction later in
the day.
Draft Won't Be Uniform.
National officials admitted that
the postponement for men in essen
tial activities who reached their
26th birthday by March "a would
not be uniform, with some States
far behind other States in clearing
their rolls of the available younger
men. AS result, men over Is in
some States will be ordered to re-
port for induction far ahead of
men with the same status in other
States.
1t was explained that national
headquarters has no estimate of the
distribution by States of men unde,
26 still out of uniform since it ha.
never drafted by age groups before
State directors will not wait until
the last man under 26 has beer
processed before starting on thu
men over Is, a national oficia
added. He described it as a mesh.
ing process with the last of the
men under 26 and the first of the
new group of men over Is going te
war together.
Job List Awaited.
Most draft boards have been send
ing occupationally deferred men
under 26 for their preinduction
physicals only for the past 10 davs
to two weeks. This process is ex-
pected to consume at least another
month.
In addition, State directors have
not yet received the list of critical
jobs to guide them in deciding
which men under 26 warrant further
deferment. That list was expected
either today or tomorrow after a
meeting of the Inter- Agency Com
mittee, established to select critical
activities, plants and individual Jobs
in which the younger men should
be deferred.
Besides reconsidering all the
younger men with industrial defer
ments, reclassifying most of them
sending them for their pre-induc-
tion physicals and ordering them te
report for induction, the boards
must review all the agricultural de-
ferments Of younger men although
they do not have to send them for
their physical examinations unless
they decide continued deferment is
not warranted.

Burma Drive Is Aimed

On Japan, Toxic Says

NEW YORK, April 10-The Toxic
radio told the Japanese people yes
terday that their forces In Burma
had launched their drive against
the Assam-Bengal railway to fore
stall attacks on the mainland OF
Japan by Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chem
nault's 14th Air Force.
In weekly commentary on the
war situation which was recorded
by United States Government mon
itors, Toxic broadcaster repeated
the Japanese claim to the occupa-
tion of Kohima, inside the Indian
frontier, and said the new jap
anese position would prove "seri-
Gus menace to the Assam. Bengal
railway"
Raids on Mainland Seen,
"The Assam Bengal railway is the
supply line for the American Air
Force In China, which is contem-
plating q plan to afraid the main-
land of Japan and interfere with
our navigation route to the South
ern regions" the broadcast ex-
planned.
"The counteroffensive operations
OF the American Pacific Fleet under
the command Of (Admiral Chester)
Nimitz, the broadcaster added, are
also aimed at the mainland OF
Japan, as well as seeking a route
for advance to the China continent
through the Philippine Islands.
Revolt Rumors Reported.
When we think of this fact and
when we remember the statement
of Chennault-who said seriously
that he is making full preparations
to welcome Nimitz' fleet to the
Chinese coast-we see clearly how
important is the strategic value OF
the advancement of the Kohima
operation units"
The Toxic radio, in a broadcast
also recorded by CHS, reported
Assam rumors that orders for revolt
and sabotage had been issued by
Subhas Chandra Bose, Indian ma
tionalist now in Japanese service
He was reported to have been landed
in India by submarine. There was
no Allied confirmation.

Senators AssaiI Plan
To Reduce Size Of
Australian Army

The announcement from Australia
that the army would be cut down
to balance the country's manpower
brought unfavorable reaction here
today, with Senators on the Military
Affairs Committee characterizing
this move in the midst of war as
shocking" startling" and almost
unbelievable. sa
A dispatch from Canberra quoted
Army Minister Francis E. Forde as
declaring Australias manpower sit
uation requires an army reduction
|of $4,000 in the next IL months, in
cluding 10000 men for industry.
That's q startling statement" ="

Colorado, lin view of the all-out
effort we are making to send our
Army all over the world to save
Australia and the other countries
from the common enemy"
In War Together, Bridges Says.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire remarked that
after all, all the United Nations
are in this war together and we
are going up or down together"
ITS pretty surprising and shock
ing at time America is straining
every resource as the result of the
armed services demands, to have
one of the other United Nations an
nounce openly that it is cutting the
size of its armed forces" he added
Senator Wilson, Republican, of
Iowa mentioned both military and
lease-lend demands on the United
States and said that in view of this
1t seems almost unbelievable some
thing like this can happen, espe-
cially when our own high authori-
ties now are insisting on getting
to the bottom of the barrel on man
power and taking for our armed
forces men much needed in industry
and agriculture.

Vermont, co-author of the Austin
Wadsworth national service bill, ex-
pressed the hope that it won't be-
come necessary in America ito di-
vert our armed forces from fighting |
battles to producing their own
weapons"
