Current Operations Os Selective Service Act

(The draft has been extended for four years, until July 1, 1963- Th* s means that the young men of the country must continue to expect to . serve in the military faces. This series of articles outlines the basic responsibilities and rights of young men under the draft law.) This is the fifth article in the series. The draft law provides special procedures for persons claiming to ‘ be conscientiously opposed by religious training and belief to combatant duty, or to all duty. If a registrant establishes conscientious objection to combatant duty only, and is otherwise available and acceptable, he is classified in class 1-A-O and may be Inducted for noocombatant duty. If a registrant establishes conscientious objection to all duty, he will be classified in class 1-0 and then is liable to perform civilian work in the national health, safety, or interest for two years in lieu of service in the armed forces. Special procedures to evaluate claims of conscientious objection ' and for assignment to civilian work are provided and are too complex and detailed to discuss ' here. . ' Standby Reserve Local boards have a special responsibility with respect to members of the standby reserve, whether those reservists have served on active duty or not. I The director of selective service is required by law to maintain up- ; to-date information in the hands of ■ the armed services as to whther each standby reservist may be recalled to active duty or should be left in civilian life because of oc- ; cupation or dependency. Standby reservists are subject to orders to active duty in the event of war or national emergency declared by congress, but only . after their availability has been determined by selective service To make that determination, local boards must obtain information from standby reservists. The boards must keep this determination current. (The next article discusses the “doctor draft”.)

Reseal Program On Soybeans First Time Chairman James Garboden of the Adams county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee today reminded farmers who have 1958 soybeans under price support that they have the opportunity in the next few weeks to: d> Redeem the beans and sell them on the market. Farmers who watch the market closely at this time may find that it is to their financial advantage to redeem. (2) In the case of farm-stored soybeans under either loan or purchase agreement, keep them in storage another- year under the reseal program, which is available on soybeans this year for the first time. Since price-support loans on soybeans mature May 31, which is not a business day fa the county office, Garboden said that ware-house-stored loans may be redeemed through June 1. Redemption of farm-stored loans may be made up to the delivery date fixed by the county ASC committee. Farmers who wish to reseal should notify the county office as far ahead of May 31 as possible. Eligibility requirements under the soybean reseal program are the same for quality and storage as under original loans. Those who reseal soybeans for a full year will receive a storage payment of 17 cents a- bushel. If a farmer redeems his resealed beans in less than a year, the storage payment will be prorated. The payment will be made at the end of the storage period. Hie reseal program for soybeans has been offered for the first time because of the large supplies of soybeans placed under support from the 1958 crop and the heavy demand being placed on storage by record supplies of grain. Farmers over the country placed nearly one-fourth of the 1958 soybean crop under support, for an all-time record support total of nearly 140 million bushels.

Indiana Couples Pay Sign Repair , INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-India rta officials on city, state and national levels and irregardless of party politics joined forces today to prevent the Lake Michigan dunes from becoming a nations i park. Governor Handley, determined to have the area transformed into a bustling industrial area for the benefit of Indiana’s economy, will go to Washington Tuesday to appear at a hearing Wednesday of a Senate subcommittee on a bill to make the area a national memorial. Handley wasn’t the only official opposed to the park at the expense of industry and a seapat in the area. Senator Homer E. Capehart, a Republican, and Vance Hartke, a Democrat, flew over the area Saturday in a helicopter to view it first-hand before they appear in opposition to the bill, introduced by fellow Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois. Rep. Ray Madden (D-Gary*. of the Ist District, and Mayor Geage Chacharis of Gary also Were scheduled to appear in opposition to Douglas’ bill. Hartke and Capehart agreed there is enough shoreline area for recreational purposes without turning the entire strip of dunes into a park. They agreed a deepwater harba and industrial expansion are important to the state’s economy. “We are now crossing the threshold of a new golden age in Indiana’s history,” Handley said, “and I am doing everything possible to expedite our progress. It is vital that Indiana have its own port on Lake Michigan to handle the deep-draught shipping which is now beginning to ply up and down the new St. Lawrence-Great Lakes course. “Denial a delay of the Indiana port would compel use of the congested Chicago port facilities by Hoosier industries and farmers if they are to get the freight savings which are possible by water transport.” Long-Wed Couple Found Dead In Home SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (UPD—A Shelbyville couple who had been marired for 54 years were found dead of gunshot wounds in their home today, and authorities said it appeared to be a case of mur-der-suicide. Sanford H.

Postpones Ruling On Defense Move INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Special Judge Horace Holmes today delayed until June 2 a ruling on whether three International officials of the Carpenters Union are entitled to examine the grand jury evidence upon which they were indicted on charges of bribery in the Indiana highway scandals case. To the prosecution, the matter resolves simply to whether federal or state procedure shall prevail in deciding on the secrecy of grand jury testimony. Two Marion County deputy prosecutors argued today that granting of the defense motion to examine the grand jury transcript would set a dangerous precedent, violating state Supreme Court rulings. But attorneys representing president Maurice „ Hutcheson, vice president William Blaier and treasurer Frank Chapman of the Carpenters Union contended the constitutional rights of the- three men are at stake and that the "constitutional rights of the defendants are superior to the privilege of grand "jury secrecy." State Files Demurrer Holmes, of Tipton, said he would rule only on the motion to open grand jury records tp the defendants when he returns June 2. A defense plea of abatement, to whick the state filed a demurrer today, will be considered later. Hutcheson, Blaier and Chapman were indicted on charges that they bribed a former Indiana highway right -of -way official, Harry O. Doggett of Greensburg, to gain quick profits along the TriState Expressway in Lake County, The indictments were returned by a Marion County grand jury. Defense Attorney John Royse had subpenaed members and officials of the grand jury which returned the indictments, in the expectation of gaining a ruling giving him a chance to cross-exam-ine them. But with the delay in the judge's ruling, the potential witnesses were excused. Royse said he would call them later if he gains a favorable ruling June 2. Says Not Applicable Deputy prosecutor Howard Whitecotton argued that the celebrated federal Supreme Court ruling on the Jencks case is not applicable in Indiana. He cited an Indiana Supreme Court decision of last March whic hheld “the desire that justice be done, although laudable in itself, does not require that the state open its confidential files to the accused.”

Royse said the questions which were asked the three union officials at a Senate committee hearing were of a "vicious nature.” Royse seks to prove a tape recording of the committee hearing was instrumental in the grand jury’s decision. Nixon In Appeal To Religious Leaders WASHINGTON <UPD - Vice President Richard M. Nixon appealed to religious leaders today to “mobilize the moral support of the American people” in a drive to wipe out racial discrimination in employment. The vice president, chairman of the President’s Committee on Government Contracts, addressed a conference attended by some 500 leaders representing 22 major U.S. religious denominations with 100 million members. Nixqn said the committee is responsible for seeing that there is no discrimination by firms handling government contracts. Its larger purpose, he said, is to conduct a "program of education and conciliation” to eliminate discrimination from all areas of employment. “In this whole field of discrimination and prejudice there is a recognize that this is basically a moral problem,” Nixon said. “We must educate people to obey the law, not only because it is the law, but because the law is right* Only if people see that laws against discrimination have moral as well as legal backing can we get the kind of support we need in this field.” Another speaker, John Roosevelt, New York City investment banker and son of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, told the leaders they should use “moral persuasion” in the fight against intolerance.
