the dancing classes of poor Mr..

How all these divergent activi-

to be told that the lady's sewing

DEXTROUS DOG CATCHERS-
But about those dog-catchers,
while a vestige of sanity still rests
with us.
The lady who broke all this news
to us told us that the dog-catchers
once roamed the city's streets with
great long poles which had huge
nets at one emo and fiendishly
adept hands at the other.
These dog-catchers could, at
a dead run, scoop up the most
maneuverable of mongrels with
a facile d~exterity which would do
credit to a major league out

VA OFFICES SET
FOR WILMINGTON
Sub-Regional Branch Ia
Facilitate Veterans
Claims

Location of a sub-regional office
of the Veterans administration IN
Wilmington was yesterday assured
by a telephone statement from
J. D. DeRamus, regional manager
of the Veterans administration In
North Carolina.
Under consideration as a possible
site for the offices, said DeRamus
is the USO building at Second and
Orange streets to be vacated on
July /.
Is Employees
The projected offices, said the
regional manager, will require
space for an estimated crew of q
persons, facilities for a medica,
staff for examination and hospltall-
cation of veterans, and a rehablllta-
ton section.
Along with the contact offices:
these sections will serve to nipple
ment VA services and benefits.
Need Four Doctors
Stressing the need for Whining
ton located physicians, DeRamus
said local requirements demand a
least four doctors.
Physicians accepted by the ad'
ministration will be placed On
full-time basis with a Civil service
appointment in the department o.
Medicine and Surgery of the Vet
Grams administration, DeRamu:
said, with all the rights ana pr
veleges including those of retire
ment benefits, accruing to Other
Civil service appointees.
Hospital In Fayetteville
He added the information tina
veterans requiring disqualification
will continue to be sent to Fayette
vile to the veterans hospital there
A representative of the admins
tration was in Wilmington severa
weeks ago to survey the facilities
of the USO and other locations, but
the results of his survey were moi
made public until yesterday.
Joint Efforts
The location of the sub-regiona.
office here is largely due to the
Joint efforts of local posts of the
American Legion and veterans o.
Foreign Wars, and the Whining.
ton Chamber of Commerce.
Advantages of the location will
be quick efficient settlement OF
claims and other matters now
seemingly firmly bound in govern
mental red-tape. Veterans seeking
the benefits of on-the-job training
will be able to apply, he said, and
commence the work training in a
much shorter time than at present,
said DeRamus.

May Settle lS-Year-
Odds Issue

WASHINGTON, June Is. - P)-
From a ship III mid-Pacific bound
for the atomic bomb test, Repres-
entat:ve Andrews R.-N. " flash
ed an apparently decisive vote
Tuesday night for drafting 18-year-
Odds again after Oct. l..
His radio message from the U.
S. S. Panamint breaks a 3-3 tie
among the house members of a
congressional conference commit
tee, of which he is a member. The
committee is now expected to ap-
prove the plan for inducing 49,
year-olds, barring unforeseen dew
elopments.
Decision Thursday
This will clear the way for final
agreement on the disputed draft
extension bill when the conference
committee meets again on Thurs
day.
Andrews message directed that
his proxy be cast in favor OF a
compromise which the senate mem
bers of the committee proposed
and on which his house colleagues
split. 1t provides that inductions OF
18-year-olds, row suspended, may
be resumed after Oct. l if the
president .certities they are need
ed, although they may serve only
in this country until they become
10.
The proxy which Andrews had
left behind when he departed for
the Bikini stcll! bomb test had
provided for his vote to be cast
in favor of drafting 10 and 19-year-
olds "without restriction" AS a
result, his colleagues cast the vote
against the compromise, although
the choice at that stage lay be-
tween drafting teen-agers with re-
strictions OF not drafting them at
all.
Compromise Act
The unusual situation came about
in this way:
The house voted to exempt teen
ayers from the draft. The senate
voted to induct them.

A similar report from the State

views coincide almost exactly with
the local report, city officials say.

function as the final hearing on
the city's proposed zoning ordi-

" set for last month, was delay

A section of the proposed amend
