Registration 10
Start August l6
In Noble County
Youths Between
19 And 25 Must
Sign Up For Draft

The first registration under
the new peacetime draft will be
held in Noble county on Monday,
August l6, national defence Off
cials said today.
The delay is necessary, they
said, in order to give the proposed
1900 draft boards throughout the
nation chance to get organized.
The draft board for Noble
county has been tentatively det-
ermined but announcement as to
the members who will serve on
this board will come out of Col
umbus at later date. In no in
stance was a previous member
recommended for the board and
veterans of World War II will be
in the majority.
1t is unknown at the present
time how many young men will
be affected by the draft in Noble
county but the number is expect
ed to reach several hundred.
1t is expected that by August
80, the first questionaires will be
in the mail to draft eligible men
in the l9-through-25 age group.
After they are classified, the old
est of the LAS will be called up
first. Barring an emergency,
however, nobody will be induct-
ed before September %.
1t is expected that the Army,
Navy and Air Force will throw
open their ranks to enlistments
by l8-year-olds for one years
service. An 18-year-old can es-
cape the 2l-month draft by en-
listing for IL months and then
serving six years in the reserves.
The Army is expected to an
nounce this week how they will
handle the draftees. The plan will
include some of the, features of
the experimental universal mil
itary training unit at Fort Knox,
KY. ., -.
The army is Fastening to line
up instructors, officers and train
ing facilities to handle its expan-
sion in troop strength but to date
they are having serious trouble
getting officers.
The army is now planning to
accept applications from reserve
officers for active duty at the
rate of 1850 a month for some
months to come. This would help
increase the officer personnel in
line with the proposed expansion
of the army to $4,000 from it's
present $4,000 level.
Estimates are that as high as
10000 officers will be needed
any. existing applications for ac-
tive duty are well below that to-
tai. The difficulty in getting jun
Tor grade oficers-lieutenants and
captains particularly-is that the
pay offered by the army is be-
low competing wages of business
and industry.
1t is expected that the draft
law will soon be moving into
high gear and many Noble
county youth will again be DON
ming the olive drab.

After a night of speculation
IN vice-presidential candidates
which included the names of
Charles Halleck, OF Indiana;
Senator John w. Bricker, of
Ohio; Governor Warren was put
forth as the Dewey choice for
the post.
Governor Earl Warren, gov
ernor of California, was nomin-
ated to the yice-presidency by
exclamation after Arizona had
withdrawn the name of Harold
E. Stassen.
Actually the colorful New
Workers. nomination came by
unanimous vote after he had
demonstrated unpreced e n c, d
strength on the first ballot over
six other contenders for the
nomination. Governor Dewey
polled 434 votes on the first
nallot to 224 for Senator A.
Taft, of Ohio, his nearest COM
Letitor; with former Governor
Harold E.. Stassen trailing in
third place with 157 votes.

of California, and the others.
Governor Dewey told the del

alton "unfettered by a single
obligation or promise to any
living person" His acceptance
speech, which evidently had
been prepared in advance, since
1t was delivered in mimeograph

made it, was on a high plane
of a spiritual upSurge".

most of all spiritual. Our prob

selves =. we have devised no

OF SELLING PROPERTY
TO NEGROES, ARE SLAIN

ST. JOSEPH, MICH. - CAMP

that he walked into the living
room Of the Stevens home and
demanded to know why the
had been sold to Ne
groes.
He said he told Stevens, IN
show you what I'm going to do
about it," and fired three shots
from a German rs calibre Maus-

him instantly. When Mrs. Stew

her in the heart. He then walked
