Selective Service On Stand-By Basis "Selective service in Indiana is not inducting men just now. but it still provides grief for violators.’’ This is the advice given by Brig. Gen.

While tllie induction of registrants has been temporarily halted, he ex plained, selective service is on a stand-by basis and all provisions ol the law are in full effect. Violators may be referred to district attorn eys as delinquents. Meo who become 18 are still re quired to register within 5 days of their birthday, Gen. Hfcbcock reminded. and all registrants <nus’ potify their local boards of chang •s In status or address even though the ncistrants have passed theli .’«fh birthday. Gen. Hitchcock also stated that many men have been concerned be cause they recently have been re classified into class V-A. This else siflcation is for registrants over thage of liability for military service and should not be confused with I-A, made up of men available tor military service if they are physically and otherwise qualified.

Washington, Feb. 22 — (UP) — Two major farm organizations today endorsed the European recovery program as a basis for peace and stablized trade in. tihe western' world. The American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange told the house foreign .affairs committee the program should be continued. John C. Lynn of the Farm Bureau denied that his support of the program is based on the need of a' ‘dumping ground” for U. S. farm[ surpluses. He said European selfsupport is vital to a lasting peace. He added, however, that farmers would like to see an end of the requirement that 25 percent of U. S. wheat exports under the plan be in the form of flour, which takes more scarce 'European dollars. J. T. Sanders, legislative counsel of the Grange, said- the United | States should -insist that receiving' nations work out a plan to get themselves .back on a self-support-ing basis with' a maximum of free trade among themselves. Otherwise, he said, American trade with these nations will qollapse when the aid program ceases. , The University ot North Carolina, chartered in 1789,. is the oldest state university in the country.
