TO REGISTER DRAFT-AGE
SEAMEN AT PORT CITIES

To avoid loss of sailing time,
the Lake Carriers Association
will ask Selective Service di-
rectors of states bordering the
Great Lakes for permission to
register draft age lake seamen
in LAC assembly rooms, when
registration starts on August
3Oth. These assembly rooms
are maintained in all of the
principal ports, including:
Ash-tabula, o.; Cleveland, O.;
Conneaut, o.; Lorraine, o.; To-
ledo, O.; Detroit, Mich; Buff
falo, N. Y; Erie, Pa; Duluth,
Mimi; South Chicago, ILL.,; and
Milwaukee, Wis.
This would duplicate the
procedure followed at the time
of the last draft and enable
men of draft age to register in
port cities, regardless of where
their home registration place
might be and permit them to
return to their vessels by the
time the loading or unloading
operation is finished and thus
lose no time.

JET PROPULSION
ELECTRONICS' USES
DEMONSTRATED

Previews of Progress, an
elaborate, state presentation
that tells dramatically the
story of America, will be pre-
sented daily in the Electronics
Building at the Centennial Ex-
position, August 7-29.
The entire production is a
non-commercial demonstration
that is professionally present
ed in a manner easily under
stood yet spectacular in ap-
proach. 1t serves too, as a re-
hinder, that many now scien-
tific frontiers must still be ex-
plored and conquered if Am
erica is to remain great.
The narrators of Preview of
Progress demonstrate jet pro-
pulsion with a miniature jet
engine in actual operation on
the stage. The blast of the en-
gines high pressure flame Gre
ates a roar similar to that of
our modern jet propelled air
craft. Following this demon
stration, models of jet propell-
ed planes and a buzz-bomb are
driven at high speeds the
length of the building, propell-
ed by tiny, but powerful, jet
engines.
Synthetic rubber and many
other modern day products are
manufactured on the stage and
the processes are all explain
ed by competent authorities.
Progress in lighting is spec
tacularly shown, from the dim
yellow glow of the first Edison
lamp to the mercury vapor
lamp. Smaller than a cigarette,
it gives a light one fifth as
brilliant as sunlight.
Other demonstrations in
clude the development of
sound recording beginning
with Edison's first phono-
graph; induction heating by
which an egg is actually fried
on cold stove; and music
travelling in the beam of an
arc lamp.
This entire non-commercial
demonstration is presented at
the Exposition by the General
Motors Corporation as part of
daily programs featuring ev-
cry development in the field
of electronics.

Query from F. D., Spokane
Wash: "How many men does the
Army expect to draft every month";
The best estimate is about 10000
The Air Force, the Navy and the
Marine Corps may not need to draft
any one. They're doing well keep
ing their quotas filled through vol
untary enlistments.
From w. D. K, Evansville, Ind.
"Is there any top limit placed or
the number of people who can be
drafted under the new draft law?'
Yes, the maximum number is $685.
882-but that doesn't mean that
many actually will be drafted.
OF course, If the Army finds il
can't get up to and keep its au-

probable) then Congress coulo

James A. Guthrie. rs, of Berwyn
Heights, Md, who saved his life
yesterday by applying an impro-
vesed tournaquet after his leg was
severed by a train, was reported in
good condition today at Leland Me-
mortal Hospital.
Mr.. Guthrie was struck by a train
as he was walking to work along
the Baltimore g. Ohio tracks near
College Park. His left leg was
severed below the knee, but he re-
manned conscious and drew his
leather belt tightly around the
upper part of his leg to stem the
flow of blood. He then crawled
about 600 feet along the tracks be-
fore he was picked up by rescuers
who had been summoned by rail-
road men on the train that hit him
The train was not able to stop i'm

Here they are: Yes, If you finish
before you get to be 20 years old
and if you keep your marks up to
standard while finishing. In that
case you definitely may be deferred
until graduation-but you must re-
quest deferment.
From B. M. N, Scranton, Pa: Il

new ruling on flying courses will
keep me from doing it?"
Couldn't say, but you certainly
have a good chance. If learning
how to fly can be OF some help to
you in your present or future en-
ployment then you can learn under
the CT Bill.

this. The VA decides each case en-
its own merits.
| From s. p, Oklahoma City: How
long is the basic training period for
draftees?"
| Nobody's been drafted yet, but
the Army plans to give the first
draftees about eight weeks Of basic
training. That will last until the
Army has filled up its authorized
units to regular strength. After
that, the basic training period will
run Ionger-maybe as much as 13

NE, Mr.. Pearsons predecessor, who
received a citation and medal re-
Gently for his Is years service at the
aquarium, put it this way:
Naturally, a fish suffers from the
heat. He is the temperature of the
water he's in" River fish, Mr.. Or
singer said, can take tremendous
temperatures, but sometimes 1t
makes them loggy.
Conditioning to temperature is
one thing that keeps fish alive in
hot weather, according to Dr.. o. L.
Meehan. chief OF the branch of
game fish and hatcheries for the
Fish and Wildlife Service.
TT all depends on the fish and
, the temperature of the water he is
conditioned to-" he says. "If he is
-eonditioned. to 70-degree water and
it suddenly rises to 80 or IS he's
going to suffer from lack of oxygen.
Another effect, particularly with
trout, is the hardship which comes
when they reach their limit of tenn
perature. Trout begin to suffer
When the temperature gets over IS
or 70.
In the Skyline Drive area, where
the water seldom gets over. IS de-
grees, trout will die if continued
high temperature increases water
readings to 75."
Generally the fish in open waters
have an opportunity to condition
themselves because water tempera-
lures change so slowly.
That remarked Mr.. Orsinger,
is an advantage we don't have"

The plane came in for a safe land
ing after Sergt. Tigner cleared the
field of other craft. Sergt. Tigner
said the plane was flying at about
1900 feet a mile from the tower

u. ). Treason Case
Against Axis Sally
Given 10 Grand Jury

The Government opened its trea-
son case against Mildred E. Axis
Sally" Gillars today before regu-
lar Federal grand jury here.
John M. Kelly, jr., special as
sistant to the Attorney General,
made an hour long presentation of
the case against the 47-year-old
woman, a Justice Department
spokesman revealed. Miss Gillars
is charged with broadcasting prop
aganda for the Nazis to American
troops in Europe during the war.
The only witness who may ap-
pear before the jury today is the
pilot of the Army transport which
flew the prisoner here from Ger
many last week, 1t was learned.
Would Establish Jurisdiction.
The purpose of his testimony
would be to establish that District
courts have proper jurisdiction in
the case, since Washington was the
first United States soil to be
touched by Miss Gillars on her re-
turn.
The Justice Department spokes-
man added that the presentation
of witnesses probably will start in
full swing Monday. He declined
to specify the number of witnesses
lined UP by the Government.
Meanwhile, petition for a habeas
corpus writ seeking freedom for her
has been filed in District Court.
The petition writ was filed by
Attorney John M. Holzworth and
contends her arrest and detention
in District Jail are illegal.
Citizenship Is Questioned.
A principal contention in the petit
ton is that Miss Gillars became a
citizen of Germany between 1884
and 1910 and that any treason
charges would not apply because she
was not United States citizen dur
ing the time of the radio broadcasts.
The petition said she was employed
by the Reich Radio Broadcasting
Corp. before the United States en-
tered the war
The petition further contends
Miss Gillars was given a "clean bill
of health" in 1916, after being in
carcerated in a United States Army
prison in Germany.
The treason suspect was COM
mitted to Jail without bond pending
hearing scheduled next Tuesday
before United States Commissioner
Cyril S. Lawrence.
