Truman Sets Up
Equal Justice
Draft System
Husbands, Fathers
Others Necessary in
Civil Life Deferred
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today pro-
mulgated regulations for this
Nations peacetime draft, pro-
viding that each regiStrant
between the ages of 10 and 26
will be considered as available
for military service until his
status in a deferred or exempt
classification is clearly estab-
lished to the satisfaction of the
local board"
AS has previously been indicated,
husbands, fathers, veterans and
those whose jobs are necessary in
civilian life will be deferred.
Registration starts on August 30.
and in the District is expected to
cover $4,000 men.
The presidential regulations call
for equal justice" for all, stating
specifically that there shall be no
discrimination on account of race,
creed or color or because of men,
bership or activity" in any labor,
political, religious or other organi-
zation."
All0cated to Five Glasses.
Registrars who reach their 26th
birthday are to be claSSed as soon
"as practicable" thereafter as over
the age of liability for military
service if previously rated otherwise.
Registrants are allocated to five
principal classes. and the regula-
tions set up extensive machinery for
appeals.
The five major classifications are
broken down as follows:
l. Those persons available for
military service; those in the armed
forces, Coast Guard, Coast and
Geodetic Survey and Public Health
Service; members of reserve COM
ponents or students taking military
training
"a. Deferred because of occupa-
tlOildl otdtuS, uCpCiidcilCy vi eEt~
cifically by law or as unfit for
military service.
S. Over age for military service.
Subgroupings Provided.
The major classes are broken
down into subgroupings, which keep
conscientious objectors available for
noncombatant service only, next in
line for drafting after military serv-
ice availables.
Conscientious objectors are those
exempt from active service because
of religious training and belief. The
regulations specify that this qualifi-
cation does not include essentially
political, sociological, or philoso-
phical views, or merely personal
moral code"

may be reason tor occupational

time to time prescribe callings in
which national health, safety or
interest" dictate deferment, but the

1nree new Deal lawyers To-Day
stood on their constitutional
rights and refused to answer
questions put to them at a closed
session of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities, Rep
resentative Nixon, Republican
of California announced after
the hearings.
The three we're:
John Abt. former CIO-PAC

Nathan Witt, former counsel fol

now associated with Mr.. Pressmar
and Harold Cammer in a New York

All Named by Chambers.
The three men were named by
Whitaker Chambers, elf-confessec
former Communist and now senior
editor of Time Magazine, as mem.
bers of prewar Communist under
ground seeking to place Commun.
lists in positions of power and influ-
ence in the Government.
Mr.. Nixon, who sat as a subcom
mlttee of one, said the testimony
behind closed doors will be made
public as soon as it can be printed
so there will be no question of dis.
! torting what was said"
! All three men, he said, refused tt
say whether or not they were nov
or ever had been members of the
Communist Party.
! Mr.. Nixon said that they gave a.
their grounds for refusal to answer
questions the possibility of self.

He said they gave the sam,
grounds as Leon JoSephson, wht
was convicted of contempt of The

the committee was not legally con.
stituted. Mr.. Nixon pointed ou
that the Supreme Court has over
ruled that contention.
Mr.. Cammer, who represented al
three men during their brief ap
pearances, said the witnesses con
tended that a member, Representa-
tive Rankin, Democrat, of Missis'
sippi. was not properly elected tt
Congress. He said the First Amend

Sixth Amendment and Article o
the Constitution were all cited.
Asked If the witnesses appear

The dogs which get their name

Pomeranians under pounds are

are intelligent and vivacious. Colors

unpleasantness and have invested the

Current interest centering around
proposed removal of the Grade school
bell has brought out the fact that
anv old records-if any there we're
have been lost and there is no official
record so far as we have been able
to learn, as to the date of installa-
ton of the bell-or for that matter
the year of erection of the grade
school building.
Information relative to the bell
comes from Edgar Hauenstein, Bluff
ton pharmacist, who recalls that the
year before he entered the first
grade he went with his father, the
late Andrew Hauenstein, a member
of the school board to see the new
bell which was still uncrated at the
Grade school building. That, he says
was IS years ago. The bell replaced
a smaller bell, disposition of which is
unknown.
AS to the Grade school building,
the older portion facing Jackson
street was built in 1876 according
to Dode Murray who recalls that
building operations were under way
when he started to school. The
"new" brick building replaced a
former frame building which still
stands on North Main street, now
establishments of VIM. Augsburgel
and Russell Tripplehorn.
