~ INDIANA READY

ON DRAFT EVE |

Nothing Less Than Complete Registration Will Do, Townsend Says.

(Continued from Page One)

Who may investigate that the individual has not evaded registration. Persons who cannot register tomorrow for some valid reason, such as being on a train, bus or plane, must go to a local draft board and register immediately upon arrival at their destination. Persons who are too sick to reg-

ister tomorrow must send some one :

to register for them. Those who cannot register in their home precinct tomorrow must Sogisier at the nearest registration place. The cards of these registrants will be sent to the Governor of their . home state and will in turn be sent to the draft board for the area in which the registrant resides. Inmates of prisons and asylums will be registered by the wardens on the day they are dischar ged.

Draft Boards Organize

The state's 152 draft boards began organizing today following the receipt of instructions yesterday at the World War Memorial here. : The draft boards are to meet and elect a chairman and a secretary immediately. Then they are to obtain permanent office space, preferably in a public building. If such space cannot be obtained, then they may rent an office in a private building. The boards also are to hire a clerk, to be paid a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $350 a month, according to the number of registrants in the local board areas. Clerks of the local boards will meet Oct. 21 and 22 at the World War Memorial for instructions. At yesterday's meeting, Governor Townsend urged the draft board

members to be “fair, honest, just and liberal.”

Warns of Pressure

He asserted that the board members would probably have pressure brought upon them by friends. “But you'll have to disappoint them,” he told the board members. “Do your best, “You'll be overruled on some of your decisions which are carried to the appeal boards. But that’s a democracy, so don’t be sore.” The Governor told board members that they would not have an outing or a vacation at their jobs. He asserted that they might have to work some Sundays and Saturday nights. Except for the primary work of getting organized, the draft boards will have very little to do for a few days. Their real work will commence after the lottery in Washington, which will establish the - order numbers of the registrants in each local board area in the U. S.

WATCH FOR YOUR

‘ORDER NUMBER’

That’s the Most Important Thing to Draftees After Tomorrow.

If you are a male Hoosier between the ages of 21 and 36, you are to register for military training tomorrow at the registration place set up in your precinct or community.

If you are away from home, regis- |

ter at the nearest registration place. Your card will be sent to the draft board for the area in which you live. The draft board will place your card in a pile with the cards of other registrants in your community and will shuffle them thoroughly. Then they will: number the cards from one on up—these numbers are to be known as serial numbers.

List to Be Posted List of registrants and their serial

numbers in each local draft board

area will be posted in a public place. Within a few days, probably next week, a national lottery will be held in Washington in which the serial numbers, from “1” to include the largest number used by any local board, will be drawn by lot. The list of serial numbers arranged in the order drawn in the lottery is called the National Master list. Upon receiving the National Master list, the local draft board will give you an “order” number. For example, if you had a serial number of 438, and that was the number drawn first in the lottery in Washington, your order number would be “No. 1.” The order number is the important number, and each draft board will post the list of registrants in their areas giving the names of the registrants and their order numbers.

Questionnaire Next If you have a low order number you will get a questionnaire from

. | the draft board within a few days.

This questionnaire will he used by the draft board to place you in one of four classifications: Those fit for military service; those deferred because of occupations; those deferred because of dependents, and those] unfit for military service. Thus, just because you may have | Order No. 1, it does not mean that | you will be called. A person holding Order No. 20] may well be the first person in a local board area judged by the draft board as “fit” for Class 1. However, before you are placed in Class 1 you will -be ordered to appear before a medical examiner, and it will be only after he has judged you as physically fit that you will be placed in the first class.

British Protest Prisoner Care

LONDON, Oct. 15 (U, P.).—Sir Edward Grigg complained today in.the House of Commons of Ger- |

man treatment of British war | prisoners. He said that if newspaper photographs purporting to show British prisoners of war cleaning up debris in Calais were confirmed it would gecessitate a strong protest to Germany because such treatment was contrary to the Geneva convention regarding war prisoners. He said the British Government had rejected a suggestion that captured German

pilots be used to fill in bomb craters on British farms.

ROOSEVELT TRIP TO INDIANA PREDICTED

buzzing with several millions of defense contracts. Ft. Wayne is to be the location of a branch of the new Army Air Corps. At Indianapolis there is Ft. Harrison, a receiving center for the new draftees, and the Allison plant, where the only liquid-cooled, highpowered, airplane motors are made.

There’s Burns City Should he continue on down state, there is the 30,000 acres at Burns City, in Martin County, where the Navy plans 100 buildings to store powder, and over at Charlestown the Du Pont’s new $45,000,000 powder plant now being built with Federal funds. What the President will talk learned. But the Democrats on about at Indianapolis was not Capitol Hill are hoping that he will not overlook Senatcr Sherman Minton’s re-election ‘as a defense measure.” The Indiana-Illinois trip is figured to take approximately two or three days. At one time the President suggested that he couldn't go away from Washington as far as Cincinnati, but if he takes his trip he will have changed his mind. The final decision, it is said, de- | pends upon what happens in the international relations field after | Thursday. That is the day Great | Britain has announced for the re{opening of the Burma Road.

Driver, 19, Fined $35 — $50 — $61

THE “JOLT” a 19-year- -old youth received several days ago when he drove his car over a fire hose at Senate Ave. and St. Clair St., wasn’t anything compared to the “jolt” he received today in Municipal Court. Appearing before George G. Rinier, judge pro tem, he was charged with: 1. Driving while drunk — for which he received a $35 fine and 30 days in jail. 2. Drunkenness—which- cost him ~$15 more, and 3. Driving over the fire hose $11.

Indiana is apt to have two exclusive sidelights to the draft registration tomorrow. - 1. Governor M. Clifford Townsend has wired Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. to register here or at Bloomington.

He will speak at Bloomington to-

morrow. 2. There wil lbe an airplane ready and waiting to make any sort of emergency trip in the state. The plane will be at Sky Harbor Airport here and will be used to carry regis-
