Druftees' and Veterans Guide
BY Maj. Thomos M. NiaI-

You get your order to report for
induction on the very day that your
mother comes down with serious
case of pneumonia. Or it may be
your grandmother, or someone else
of close relationship living in your
home.
Naturally, you want to be around
to aid the sick, to do your part in
the healing-or, If the worst comes,
to'say the last farewell.
But you've got that order to report
at the induction station in u days.
Anything you can do about it?
Of course, there is. Selective Serv-
ice may seem to. you like any cold,
efficient piece of machinery, but
actually it's got what might be called
a heart. Selective Service is human.
AS soon as your mothers illness
gets to the serious point-Selective
Service calls it an extreme emer-
gency"-you go to your local board,
tell the facts and show documentary
evidence supporting them.
Don't think of doing this unless
the emergency really is extreme.
Your family doctor can help you
define the term.
Your local board looks into the
facts. If 1t decides an extreme emer-
gency exists, it postpones the day set
for your induction. 1t can put it
ahead for go days, at the end of that
time the extreme emergency should
be settled one way or the other.
But 1t might not be, you say.
That's right, and so in cases of i'm
perative necessity" (the official Ian
Evening star., 1948-11-08

guage) your local board can extend
the postponement another 60 days.
The regulations go on to say that
the Director of Selective Service
General Hershey or the State di-
rector may "for good cause postpone
the induction for such time as he
may deem advisable" which means,
I'd say, that "for good cause" a post
ponement could be extended indefi-
nitely.
The only good cause" that comes
to mind would be long death-bed
siege of your mother or father-at
least something a lot>worse to con-
template than getting drafted.
But at any rate, If that something
happens you can get an indefinite
postponement. Let's hope it dosen't.
Incidentally, if you get a 60-day
postponement, it can be Cancelled
before it's over when the issuing
authority so directs"
Postponement of induction also
would apply, of course, if you your
self were too sick to report. I guess
you'd have to get a physician's s
statement to your local board as
evidence. AS matter of fact, that
good cause" provision is probably in
there also to cover the case of bad
accident happening to registrant
who has received his order to report.
Maybe the accident would make
him AZ. That would be a good
cause" for an indefinite postpone
ment until the local board could re-
classify the registrant.

BY the Asseeioted Press

SANTA ANA, Calf, Nov. "a
50-mile-an-hour gale whipped up
the smoldering Orange County brush
fire today into an uncontrolled

volunteer firef1ghters were fighting
the fire, centered in Black Star

They stopped it from entering
nearby Silverado Canyon, an area
of some 500 homes and estates. The
fast-spreading flames were shooting
toward Modjeska Canyon, where
about 100 homes are located.
So far, no homes have been dam
aged, the Forestry Division reported.
Last week more than 2S,000 acres

Shift in Makeup
OF Inaugural
Comn1itt!eeDue
Election Will. Bring
Changes; Stands Are
Ahead of Schedule

While construction work on stands
for the Inauguration ceremonies
January 20 is ahead of schedule
it appeared likely today that the
Congressional committee set up to
handle inaugural affairs on Capitol
Hill will be revamped in view OF
last weeks election.
In addition, President Truman is
expected to name the chairman OF
another Inaugural Committee which
will direct the overall program. Mr..
Truman will advise his chairman of
the scope and character of the cere-
mony he wants.
The Joint Inaugural Committees
chairman, Senator Brooks, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, was beaten for re-
election and will serve only until
his successor is sworn in when the
new Congress convenes January 8.
Senator Barkley, who is still
officially Senate minority leader,
also is member of the Joint COM
mittee, but he will become Vice
President at the ceremony, and, thus,
it is considered likely that he will
be replaced on the committee.
Other Senators Named.
Others on the committee are Sen
ator Wherry, Republican, of Nebras-
ka; Representative Halleck, Repub-
lican, of Indiana; Representative
McCormack, Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, and Representative Arends,
Republican, Of Illinois.
1t is considered likely that there
will be two Democrats from the
Senate and two from the House
named to the revised committee
officials said the committee may
be called into session within week
or 10 days because time Is getting
short. The call may come from
Senator Vandenberg. Republican,
of Michigan, president pro tempore
of the Senate.
The Joint Inaugural Committee
authorized the stands that now
are under construction at the east
front of the Capitol.
The stands, which will seat 49,
400 persons. are due to be COM
pleted by December Is. This work
is being done under a $79,392 con-
tract by the Washington firm of
Skinker & Garrett of 17l9 I street
NV.
No Commitments Made.
Beyond authorizing the construc-
tion of stands, hiring ushers and car
ing for other incidentals, the Joint
Inaugural Committee has made no
commitments, william T. Reed, dep
uty sergeant at arms of the Senate,
said today.
According to custom, an official
luncheon is held at the White House
on Inauguration Day. Because of
prospective White House renoya-
tions, the affair may not be held
next January, it was said. The
President and his family are expect
ed to move to Blair House during
the renovations and whether the af-
fair will be held there is up to Mr..
Truman.
After Mr.. Truman names the
chairman of the Inaugural Com
mittee and it is formed, details of
official inaugural functions will be
taken up with him. The chairman
will select committee to assist him.

Washington's smallest park is only
80 square feet, mere dot of .0O2 OF
an acre on the surveyors map.
Hundreds walking or driving along
Delaware avenue, day after day,
pass it unknowingly at the inter
section of First and F streets S.W
Yet this tiny triangular grass
plot, occupied by two trees, is de-
signed officially as Reservation 22O
on maps of the National Capital
Parks and the District Highway
Department.
So obscure was it on the map that
Miss Margaret Stratton of the MOP
Office had to help a reporter and
"a photographer identify it. Miss
Stratton was called after identif1-
cation failed in the Office of the
Highway Department. AS tech
nician in charge of the maintenance
of records for National Capital
Parks, there is little that Miss STRAIT
ton does not know about the park
system here.
Was Early Grant.
Reservation 220 is unique in Wash
ington. Its .002 of an acre COM
pares with the 1,743 acres of Wash
ingtop's largest-Rock Creek Park.
1t was one of the original grants
OF park areas in the District, of
which there are 381 on the books.
No. l is designated The Presidents
Park.
Little No. 220, with its two trees
was one of the small parcels of
land remaining after the street In
tersection was made in the early
days of Washington.
An adjacent brick sidewalk area
is owend by the District Govern
ment. The 80 square feet of soil was
transferred to Federal titleship. 1t
is one of the city's unnamed reserva-
tions.
Those 381 reservations known as
original grants" composed the park
system of the "old city" included on
the official map of 1894.
AnSiy w Ctdy oHldllCSt.
BY an act OF July /, 1898, Con-
gress gave the Commissioners juris-
diction over streets and sidewalk
lines. To the Army Engineer Corps
was given jurisdiction over the origi-
nal grants as of 1894 and such "por-
tions Of space in streets and avenues
after same shall have been set aside
by the District Commissioners for
park purposes"
There was proviso under which
little Reservation 220 is likely to
remain forever the smallest of the
city's reservations. Congress de-
clared that no area less than $50
square feet between sidewalk lines
shall be included within the park
system.
"In other words" an official said,''
the present National Capital Parks
Office doesn't have to take over any
park under $50 square feet If it
doesn't want to-"
There are several other reserva-
tions in the city under that legal
lied minimum of $50 square feet and
good many only slightly larger.
They all belong to the original
grants"
Since 1898, hundreds of other res
ervations have been added to the
park system, which, in the mean
time, changed from custody of the
Army to the present setup under
the Interior Department National
Park Service

a Tiger Cubs Born at Zoo Are Given to Puma
In Experiment to Avoid Death by Own Mother
UnpredietobIe Year,
Keeper Declares, in
Explaining Action

-Four Bengal tiger cubs were born
at the Zoo yesterday, and Head
keeper Frank o. Lowe predicts ali
will live.
Because the cubs mother, Gal,
Is inclined to treat her offspring
like footballs, Mr.. Lowe has put two
OF the cubs with puma with ma
ternal instincts. The other two will
be placed with their foster mother
today.
II never heard of any one using
a puma as mother for tiger cubs"
said Mr.. Lowe. But this is the
season for the unpredictable.
Mr.. Lowe, who reports he won $21
betting on President Truman, said
lin face of the other upsets, I
should be able to pull this one off,"
The cubs were born at 6 am. yes
terday. The mother came to the
zoo 10 years ago. She has had
three other itters, of four, three
and one. but all have died. Mr..
Lowe said Gal worries" her off,
spring to death.
AS soon as he heard of the birth
yesterday, Mr.. Lowe took the tiger
cubs from their mother. He also
took from the Puma two 25-day-old
cubs of her own that she was rails
ing, to let her nurse the two tiger
cubs.
Mr.. Lowe took home the other
two tiger cubs and nursed them
throughout the night. They re-
ceived a special milk solution from
a nursing bottle every two hours.
Mr.. Lowe said tigers have not
been successfully raised at the Zoo
for '15 or 20 years" At that time,
the mother tiger raised seven of her
own offspring.
The new arrivals are about 18
inches long, including the tail
They weigh about 21a pounds each.
The cubs bring to nine the number
