ROBBED GOING TO BOARD DRAFTED MAN WALKS IN

■ Conway, Ark. —Ben Hyatt was working at Norfolk, Va., when he received notice from the selective service board at Conway, Ark., to appear there for examination. He bought a ticket, but while on the way he was robbed of ticket, money and all. Undaunted, he continued on the way, walking. He had a postmaster write the board that he was coming but that as he was forced to walk he might be a few days late. He finally reached Conway.
