YOUTHS FACING
 ARMY INDUCTION
Reminder Given Lads l6, l7 Years of Age of
 Future Calls

The fact that boys now sixteen and seventeen years of age continue to face induction after attaining the age of eighteen was made today in a statement to all New England school officials by Major General Sherman Miles, Commanding Gen. eral of the First Service Command.
 "As long as men are inducted, stated General Miles, there is need for perturbation Training. Induc- tion will continue until Japan has been defeated decisively.
 Tt is planned to hold Selective Service calls at level above that necessary to replace casualties and thus make 1t possible to release men with records of long and ar duous service. Therefore. boys now age sixteen and seventeen years continue to face induction after at taining the age of eighteen.
 Our record in the Pacific, con- tinued General Miles, rightly en- courages us to believe that eventual ly we will defeat Japan. However, the tenacity and fanaticism of the Japanese demonstrates all too clear ly the long and difficult task be- fore us."
 General Miles praised the schools for their good work to date and en- couraged them to intensity their ef- forts.

m, MT. Smith" of U. s. Steel called up the UP to ask for the text of the congressional letter.
 Ten minutes later, another gen. tleman who identified himself as Gene Conway, also of U. s. Steel, telephoned the UP In each case they were told that if they wanted the letter they should call Con- gressman Sheppard.
 In other words, U s. Steel is following Pacific coast competition so carefully that six minutes after the UP put it's story on the wire, U. s. Steel representatives were hot on the trail to find out all the details of what had happened. The battle between the east and west over steel promises to be one of the most important in recent economic history.
