D. T.. Draft PROCESSING
To Continue Despite
Vacation Policy

Washington men eligible for draft
will continue to be processed "up to
the point Of induction" despite the
War Departments request for a
two-month vacation on inductions,
District Selective Service head
quarters said today.
Secretary of War Patterson an
nounced the plan for no inductions
during July and August because of
a stepped-up drive for volunteers
during the next few months.
No Word on August Vacation.
Only instructions received by this
morning at the District headquar-
ters were that volunteers in the 18
to "a year age group and dentists
from 20 to 20 years old would be
the only men inducted in July. No
instructions covering an August va
cation had been received but process
sing will continue under present
plans. a spokesman said.
1t was pointed out that many 49,
year-olds have been deferred to
allow them to finish school terms,
but that large number would be
ready for induction by September
THE delay will also allow us to
completely process men of the 26-to-
% age group, so that we should have
a good-sized pool available for fall
quotas" the spokesman said.
Few 19-Year- Olds Ready.
In view of the large number OF
19-year-old deferments, no appre-
ciable number could have been
ready for induction next month, 1t
was explained. Those of the 26-to-
20 group will begin becoming avail
able in quantity in August.
One official said he thought sue
cess of the volunteer program would
depend Ito some extent on the con-
tinuance of inductions during the
next few months, because many men
will volunteer to get choices of
service and location if they think
they are going to be drafted"
Four District men were inducted
today, all under 26 years OF age, and
about SO were sent to Baltimore for
pre-induction physicals.

THOUGHTS ON THE
MARKET

Scenes resembling those leading up
to the 1880 stock market crash are
now visible in all brokerage offices.
And they are being re-enacted in
technicolor.
A burned child breads the FIRE,
but an adult will always 60 for Sec
ond degree burns II the tips "are
hot" enough.
There Is even a more reckless
mood in today's buying due to the
fact this Is screwier age in which
the gambling fever has never run
higher. Horses, dice, gin rummy and
football pools have made America
risk-slappy.
Most people have more cash than
they know what to do with, so they
are accepting advice from stran-
gers.
The horse players are In the mar
ket, too. We heard fellow rush up
when his stock went off point yes
terday and claim a foul.
-
He Is the same one who boosted
that he had bought Chrysler and
Eastman, and thought they had a
good chance In the daily double at
the weights.
All some brokerage offices need Is
a smell of hay, list Of jockeys, an
objection heard and a morning line.
In fact, it is our belief the stock
market should no longer be opened
with gong. 1t is time to use a
bugle.
Remember away back when
"Never Againl" was the Voice of
America so far as specializing in
stocks was concerned?

Frank came out as defender Of the lamp.
''What do you mean by that?" he
demanded. 81 grew up In the kero-
sene-lamp era, and never knew 1t to
hurt anybody. Did you trim the
wick? DO you realize that It takes q

it, it's fine?"

Reflections ON Housing

The housing crisis has reached
point where it is suggested
that "Tenting Tonight" replace
Home, Sweet Home" as an
American folk song.
A four-room fabricated house
at $1,000 is on sale at a New
York department store. "What
floor for residences, landscape
gardening and cinder paths,
please?"
The old-fashioned American
may have been remiss and dumb
in many ways, but he never con-
fused a new home with chicken
house.
