ZONE MAILING WILL =
BE PERMANENT THING

Washington - The zone mail
system, inaugurated last June, in
more than 100 major cities, al
ready has proved so successful in
preventing jams and speeding
deliveries that the Post Office
Department has decided to make
it permanent. .
cts not something that's with
us just for the duration, but it's
here to stay" Forest Hall, special
assistant to Postmaster General
Walker, said this week. =
Hall said the system, plus the
mail early. campaign, helped sub
stantia1ly in handling the 1913
Christmas mall
"Despite the tremendous vol
ume and much inexperienced
personnel none Of the old-timers
in the department can remember
a better year," Hall reported.
Jams developed in a few rail-
way centers, but everything else
'ewnt we'll" -

cess is that it enables an mex

Keesling, -Jr., of Selective Serv-

Indications are that Selective
Service will propose specific
classifications under which sim
gle men rejected for army serv-
ice would be subject to first call
in the transfer of individuals
from one job to another.
AS the bill now is drafted, it
would be administered by Selec-
tive Service under director of
national service. Men from 10
through ga years old and women
from 18 through 40, except mo-
theirs of children under 10, ex-
pectant mothers, those in the
armed services and State Off
Gals, would be subject to it's
terms.
The bill makes no mention Of
the order in which the labor
draft would be applied, but Sc
lective Service officials are pre-
pared to suggest that definite
classifications be written into the
These probably
would make single 4-F's under

Farmers Fear OF Wildcats

vANCEBURG, KY, Nov. 19.-lR
The board of education will hold
a hearing tomorrow on an appeal
-bv farmer Joseph Johnson that he
be allowed to keep his children out
of school until the wildcats are
cleaned out of Lewis county.
Orville Johnson, 26, son Of Jo-
seph, obtained the deferment from
school Superintendent Thomas W.
Rowland, explaining that the elder
johnson has been unable to appear
because of illness.
County Judge Taft Stone ruled
last week that "catamount or no
catamount, johnson must send his
children to school,"
johnson, who said that he had no
alternative but to refuse, asserted
that he did so because the young
sters frequently had to leave their
home in the isolat ted Queens district
before daylight to reach the school

"All enemy attempts to run sup

Yesterday the Japanese had

There was no report, however, of

steel-helmeted Belgian police with
rifles slung over their shoulders
patrolled the streets of this CAPT.
tai tonight in the wake of a tu-
multous demonstration by an esti-
mated $4,000 nlarchers shouting
for resignation of the Pierlot gov
eminent and singing 1.-THE interna-

Embittered by the government S
demand for surrender of all fire
arms and an acute shortage of
food, a mile-long column paraded
through the heart of the city with
swelling cries of "a bas Pierlot"
(down with Pierlot).
Hammer and sickle insignia of
Soviet Russia and Communist red
flags were predominant On ban
ners and brassards displayed by
demonstrators.
About half the marchers were
women and there was a consid-
cradle sprinkling of men in Bel
gian army uniforms. No guns were
in evidence, but beneath tunics,
blouses and coats there were I'm
mistakable bulges of revolvers and
even occasional ill-concealed rifles.
One hysterical shot, it was evident,
could easily have meant blood in
the cutters of Brussels, but police

In streets Of fthe line of march.
Allied troops and armored cars
were held in readiness with equip
ment for street barbados.
One Of the major complaints
seemed to be government reluc-
lance to seize and try political and
business bigwigs who allegedly
have been synpathizers or sup
porters of the Germans and who
now are in high government posts
and running the nations busiess.
Toight there was talk of premier
Pierlot calling on Gen. Eisenhower
to set up a temporary protective
government until the situation
eases.
Supreme Allied Headquarters
has agreed to receive the weapons
that the government has ordered
the resistance forces to surrender,
said communique today from the
Allied mission to Belgium headed
by Maj. Gen. George w. E. j..
Erskine.
Regardless of the success of this
move, the governments "resis-
lance problem" would remain only
half solved. Resistance elements
are demanding "employment in
stead of idleness" and progress in
meeting this demand is slow.
