have flat feet"
'He made a good record, too, !"
Bigler declared proudly.
Anonymous postcards came.
The board members would read
them aloud to tighten the nights
work, but they never investigated
them. For the most part, they
were from indignant fathers.
what did they say?" Vollrath re-
peated. Something like this:
That bum down the road you de-
ferred is out all night driving
around in his dads car, drinking
and carousing. And my boy, he's
little darling and never missed
day at Sunday school. Yet you
want to take him.
"They were all little darlings
to their embattled parents"
Blow Hot. Blow Cold
To men who had registered for
the draft, the constant changes in
Selective Service regulations
were an unending headache, for
they never knew for certain whe-
ther they were going into the
Army or not. They were head
ache for the boards, too. "Selec-
tive Service would blow hot and
cold on ages and fathers and es-
sential jobs" Bigler asserted.
Every time they changed their
minds, we'd have to stay up till
all hours reclassifying everybody.
We'd be just about finished when
they'd change their minds again.
"One tough thing: We'd have
man in processing. He'd be 20.
Right in the middle, Selective
Service would lower the age limit
to %. But there was nothing we
could do. Our orders, were to
keep right on with the processing.
We hated to do it, but those were
our orders"
Sometimes the constant re-
classifying saved men from the
Army. One of Mills's employees
went from ga to BAL to IA to
3-A4 to la to IA to Ia to "A
to ga. He never went into the
Army.
Trouble was" Mills declared,
1--WE never could give him a de-
cent job at the company, because
we always figured he'd be leav-
ing any minute"
In spite of the bitter talk "a
round Army PX's during the war,
all the men the Union County
board drafted still are on the
friendliest terms with them. Will
kins estimated that nearly 1900
had dropped around to his office
since their return to say Hello"
and chin about their days in uni
form.
NO" said Bigler. There have
MT been any hard feelings. After
all, we were just doing our job.
What else could we do?"

10000 Oil Workers
Defer Strike Again
BY the Associofed Press

LOS ANGELES, Feb. ia strike
of 10000 CIO oil workers which
would shut down oil refineries in five
Western States, curtail natural gas
service to millions and hamper au-
tomobile and airplane travel was de-
laved another 48 hours today.
o. A. Knight. president of the Oil
Workers International Union. an
nounced a postponement of the dead
line from 10 o'clock this morning
until the same hour Wednesday. He
said the action was taken "in view Of
last minute offers made by several
major companies during the past
few hours"
What the offers were was not ex-
u1ained. although earlier the Shell
Oil Co. had raised its figure to 10
cents an hour, plus s1770 per month
cost of living bonus. This figured
out at about 205 cents an hour,
compared with earlier oil company
offers of 20.2 cents The union wants
25 cents. The present basic wage
approximates S1.40 per hour.
Mr.. Knight said the 10000 workers
include not only refinery employees,
but pipeline and steel men as well.
The unions contract expired Febru-
a-v Is, but the strike deadline was
advanced Saturday until today.
