British Demand lr1donesians Surrender Nou
Draft Violations Being
Investigated; Many(ases
In Alaska Get Attention

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The FBI
has investigated 525,756 World War
III draft violations, involving enough
men to fill more than 80 infantry
divisions-and new cases are being
opened daily.
Investigations during the past
five years resulted in 1879 con-
victions. Sentences imposed to date
total more than $4,000 years, with
fines of $1,089,18l. On Sept. 80, the
FBI had 1927 pending draft de-
linquency cases. On Nov. IL, 1918.
there were 295,l84.
Included in the list of investi-
cations the FBI reported. were 1855
cases handled by the Anchorage
Alaska, bureau. Only five ended in
convictions while $50 cases we're
closed after the subjects complied
with the law by registering or enter
ing the Armed Forces.
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover, in
an interview outlining the FBI's cur
rent policy in enforcing the Selective
Service Act, said that there had
been no reduction in the intensity
of Selective Service Investigations
New cases on registrants who have
not reached their Goth birthday are
being opened daily and Investigations
are being pressed"
Violation Is Felony
Violation of Selective Service laws
now Is felony and the maximum
penalty is five years in prison and a
fine of $4,000.
Many persons with no intention of
evading military service technically
violated the Selective Service act.
In such cases the FBI hustled the
registrant to an induction center
and no charges were preferred.
In 1912 the Unalaska, Board ask
ed the FBI to locate a registrant
The FBI found him-although he
had sailed to the South Seas, across
the South Pacific to Chile and fin
ally to Panama. There he was ar
rested. The registrant commended
that when he left the United States
men of his age were not being draft
ed. He was accepted by the Navy
and the complaint dropped.
Hides Behind Skirts
What the FBI calls aggravated
cases." involving deliberate efforts
to escape the draft, were another
story.
Hoover cited the case of a New
York registrant who literally hid
behind his wifes skirts. After
changing his name five times and
living at a half dozen addresses,
he was arrested crouching behind
his wife's dresses in bedroom
closet.
Some Investigations turned up
not draft dodgers-but women. A
35-year-old Texas ditch digger failed
to report for induction. He was
located in Phoenix. Arizona, sent
to an induction center and rejected
as a woman.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-Lt. Gen.
James H. Doolittle gave Congress
a peek today at what the Army Air
Forces want in peacetime.
A force of 100000 officers and
men, backed by a reserve of l.
100000.
But an administration proposal
to build up a reserve for the armed
forces through a years military
training for Americas young men
was in trouble in the House Mill

Doolittle talked to the Senate
Military Committee. He spoke up
for a single department OF Ma

would be on a par with the Army
and Navy.
This is needed, he said, because:
Americas military planes of the
future will be able to go to any
part of the world and return.

ULTIMATUM
DELIVERED
TO JAvIANS
Told 10 Lay Down Arms Be-
for 6 A. NJ. Saturday
Tense Situation '
By RALPH MORTON

BATAVIA, Nov. 9.-British planes
dropped leaflets on Indonesian forces
at Soerabaja today calling for their
unconditional surrender-a move
which may signal general uprising
by drilled, Japanese strained
Nationalist throughout the entire
island of Java.
The ultimatum ordered the Ma
ticnalists to lay down their arms be-
fore a. m. tomorrow. Issued in
the name of 1t. Gen. Sir Philip
Christison, Allied commander in the
Netherlands East Indies, the leaflets
said the order would be backed up
by the use of all Naval, Army and
Air Forces under his command.
Tense Situation
An explosive tension gripped all
Java. A British army official adj
mitted the situation at Soerabaja was
critical. He announced that more
troops of the Fifth Indian Division
arrived there yesterday, and unoffi-
cially it was learned that 1000 Dutch
troops would land in Batavia tomor-
row.
Christison pointed out carefully
that the Soerabaja situation was
different from that existing else
where on the island, and that the
extremists at Soerabaja who were
guilty of attacks on the British
would be punished.

Sunday School.
Some of the. trees are gone now,
and I couldn't find my initials on
those which remained. And Doggie

we used to catch frogs and pick
water-cress, was locked today-the
first time l have seen it locked in
80 years. And the watering trough
outside, where horses stopped for
drink going into town, has dis
appeared.
The dirt road which used to be a
sea of mud beside the spring, is
now macadamized, and all the

horses, have been turned into

A proposed Missouri valley au-

Mr.. Erickson's talk was devoted

Missouri river development.
