AVERAGE AGE OF GENERALS IS CUT SYEARS BY U. S,
Young Blood and More of | Is Rule in the Gold Braid Ranks.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U. P.). The Army's modernization and expansion campaign has not spare those pillars of gold braid and tras dition—the generals.
| Young blood among the generals and a lot more of it is the rule to+ day. The Army has nearly a bat+ talion of generals now and thei average age is almost five years et than a year ago. Those gold-starred gentlemen — the legendary terror of the ranks from regimental commanders to buck privates—are no longer scarce Since the first of the year, War Department records disclose that 127 generals have been commissioned or ordered to active service. Sixteen
The Army now has 230 generals. Average Age Down.
The emphasis on younger men has brought the average age of a getieral down from 61 in 1936 to But the streamlining of generals Of 143 new regular Army major and brigadier generals 103 hold their rank only temporar-
ily. When the emergency subsides|; many of the younger ones will have
to take off their general’s braid and resume their permanent commis sions as colonels. Bt if the Army remains at its expanded strength for an indefinite period the majority of the temporary generals probably will be commissioned permanently. | Lowering of the age of the generals has not been confined to averages pulled down from the bottom alone. : ' [ Marshall Only 59
Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, will not reach his 60th birthi4 day anniversary until Dec. 31; that is a year younger for the highest Army job than the average for ma- - Jors and brigadiers in 1936. Of the seven lieutenant generals, who command the four nus States field armies, the air force an the overseas departments, only twa are near retirement age. The air corps particularly is in the hands of young generals. Delos C. Emmons, who was recently made a lieutenant general in command of the air corp combat forces, is- 52. Maj. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, deputy chief of staff in charge of air corps, is only 54. The new acting chief of the air corps, Maj. Gen. George H. Brett, is 54, too. |
BANKER AGAIN USES AD TO LAUD WILLKIE
i CHICAGO, Nov. 4 (U. P.).—John M. (10 per cent) Nichols, president of the First National Bank Englewood, whose previous news paper advertisement supporting Wendell Willkie was declared the object of an intended Justice Department investigation, ran a second similar advertisement last night. . The first ad was a statement of Mr. Nichols’ bank to which was appended an indorsement of Mr. Willkie for President. After its appearance, the Justice Department at Washington announced it would investigate to determine if the ad violated the Corrupt Practices Act which forbids a national bank to contribute to the election of any political candidate. | The latest ad, appearing in Chicago morning newspapers and signed by Mr. Nichols, read in part: “Tomorrow morning (Nov. 5) Democracy goes on trial for its life. It is you and I . .. who will decide whether we shall entrust our timehonored form of government to the courageous leadership of Wendell Willkie or sentence it to Franklin Deficit Roosevelt and a third term of power and more power. The wel fare of labor, as well as of capital, along with that of our children and our children’s children, rest on our verdict. . . .” |

Cathedral Boys Give President 262 to 161 for Willkie.
President - Roosevelt, 262; Wendell L. Willkie, 141; Gracie Allen, 3. That's the way the boys at Cathedral High School voted in a school-wide poll conducted by the staff of The Memo, weekly newspaper at Cathedral. The pupils also listed “Knute Rockne—All American” as their favorite movie of the year by a count of 292. When The Memo staff tabulated the movie votes, the found Cathedral boys knew .16 different ways of spelling the name of the famous University of Notre Dame coach, : Not, a pupil who was asked about the draft voted against it. If they
| |wer old enough’ to serve, 400 said
they would be willing to spend a year in the Army.
Want Girl Cheer Leaders
Blonds and redheads were snubbed by Cathedral pupils as they voted on that all-important question: “Which do gentlemen prefer?” Brunets, the boys said, with hardly a
of dissenting vote.
Although Cathedral is an all-boy school, the pupils were unanimous in the hope that it would be possible to have girl cheer leaders for the athletic teams. Glenn Miller, with 147 votes, was judged the No. 1 band leader. Next were Kay Kyser, 90; Tommy Dorsey, 34; Guy Lombardo, 16; Fred Waring, 16, and Wayne King, 15.The Cathedral orchestra also got 11 votes. Favor Yearbook
Spencer Tracy and Ann Sheridan were voted the favorite movie stars by the boys, although Mickey Mouse had a few fans among those polled. Nine to 12 p. m. is the best time for dances, three-fourths of the boys said. A like number voted in favor of a school yearbook. The pupils’ favorite radio comedian was Bob Hope, who got 192 votes. Next was Jack Benny with 105. Third was Fibber McGee, 37. Charlie McCarthy ranked fourth with 20 votes. Boy Burns and Hen< ry Aldrich tied for fifth with eight votes each. “Blueberry Hill” was the favorite popular song of the Cathedral boys. They gave it 59 votes to 36 for “I'll Never Smile Again;” 35 for “Maybe;” 18 for “I'm Nobody's Baby;” 17 for “Only Forever,” and 14 for “Crosstown.”

Washington High Gets an AllGirl Band
. getting ready to swing.
IT HAS DANCER
Practices 4 Hours Weekly; Ready for Swing Jobs; Boys Worried.
By EARL HOFF
By all rights, Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland should be peeping éver a ‘music stand out at Washington High School. At least, they'd feel right at home there on Wednesday and Friday afternoons. That's when the first all-girl high school band in the city gets together for two solid hours of practice. And if you think the girls aren’t serious, you should see the worried look on the faces of some of the masculine musicians there.
For several years the boys have had a monopoly on dance Band engagements, but this yea e Continental .Melodians will have feminine competition and there is even some talk of the boys having to borrow a few of the girls to fill in for engagements.
Two Misses Started It
Things really are that serious. The credit for this upswing in feminjne rights should go to two Washihgton girls, Rosemary Reddell and Jean Linn, They started campaigning for an all-girl band last semester. This semester they enlisted the aid of Miss Loydlovella Cook, a faculty member, Coincidentally, the band was launched on Discovery Day, Oct. 12. Thirty girls turned out for eliminations and 14 were selected. But not content with just turn~ ing out a feminine band, the girls also chose Mary Moore mistress of ceremony, Mildred Phillips as imitator and Betty Hart as feature dancer. To fill out the troupe, five girls were chosen as singers. They include Betty Long, Patricia Ann Wiatt, Wilma Mergole, Shirley Mattal and Hilary Mergale. The latter three will sing as a trio, the other two as soloists. Miss Cook will be director.
Start Swinging Soon
The girls_expect to select a name for their band and to be swinging out at school dances and other neighborhood entertainment by the end of this month, Meanwhile, they're hard at work practicing from 3 to 5 p. m. on Wednesdays and Fridays. Miss Cook said many of the girls have even sacrificed other school activities to
join the band.
And what kind of music will” the girls concentrate on? Swing, solid swing, Miss Cook said. But no Boogie-woogie. The aim of the girls is to create a greater interest in music at Washington High School and to prove girls have as much place in dance bands as boys. They also have one other purpose in mind, and this should bring Mickey Rooney running. The girls have their eyes on a contest that they think should be a pushover.
John Touhy Elected
John Touhy will lead the freshman class at Cathedral High School. He was chosen president of the class at an election held this week. Harold Sullivan was elected vice president; Robert Kirby, secretary,
and John L. Grande, treasurer.

Andy Miller has 300 ducks, 14 Canadian geese, and a family of raccoons to look out for besides his normal work in the City Nursery Department, and now what do you think he wants? : Swans. He has been heard to remark so, out loud and without pulling any punches. “It’s be nice to have a pair of swans out here,” Mr. Miller remarked in a social gathering. “They’d make the lake look better —kind of slick it up.” Friends hastened to him. “Look, Andy,” they said, confidentially, “Don’t you know that it takes a lot more work to keep swans than ducks and geese?” Mr, Miller said he wasn’t so sure of that, and that besides, swans are majestic and the ducks are getting more and more used to the lake th each generation and are not so much trouble, Why the resident ducks, Mr. MilUsed to their life at Lake Sullivan that this year, for
«®
the first time, they swim over and jabber with the transients, pausing on their way from the north to the south. In former years they stayed more to themselves and the transient ducks would take off next morning without so much as exchanging a gossipy quack about weather or travel conditions. As for the geese, the one family at Lake Sullivan stays strictly to itself, all eight of it. It is absolutely no trouble to any one, Andy says. It swims in formation, port and starboard watches, and warns each other when anything comes within boarding distance. The six single ducks also look out for their own welfare. Moreover, Andy says, a family of raccoons, adequately housed in a hollow stump, has only one main idea in life. That is not to let anyone know it's there. So they're no trouble. “Yes, sir,” Andy says, “what we need is swans. I've got too much leisure time on my hands.”
Ducks, Gasse and Raccoons Are No Trouble So Andy'd Like to Have a Pair of Swans, Too
But his friends are warning Mr. Miller that every so often the swan can be a hand-biting menace to civilization. They have warned that swans have been known to stop being beautiful and placid long enough to chase little children who only admire them.
And besides, if the pair of swans should have a cygnet, then Mr. Miller would have his leisure time filled. Cygnets, no matter how beautiful their name and no matter how beautiful they become as adults, are about the - toughest little brats to bring up as you can find in the entire bird society. Cygnet, to Mr. Miller, would spell trouble, in spades.

JOBS SOUGHT FOR "DRAFT BALKERS
May Work for Churches Or on WPA or CCC.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (U. P.).— Draft experts worked today on plans under which conscientious owjectors to military service would be put to work on special national defense projects sponsored either by the Government or by religious organizations. The program is designed to carry out that portion of the conscription act which states that a conscientious objector—one who “by reason of religious training and belief is conscientiously opposed to participation in war of any form”—can be excused from non-combatant training and service provided he is assigned to work of “national importance under civilian direction.” Based on experiences of Great Britain with such objectors, the plan would provide that the Government find work for the men on special defense tasks so they would neither receive special economic advantages nor suffer undue hardships as a result of their beliefs. May Work on WPA Government agencies such as WPA, the CCC and the National Health Service would furnish the projects of importance to national défense under the plan. An alternative proposal would provide that church groups interested in conscientious objectors be authorized under Federal supervision to set up and finance defense projects. Church leaders, with whom Federal officials have conferred, reportedly have expressed themselves as gratified with the plans now under way. May Get Draftees’ Jobs Other suggestions, which have been avanced—but are not currently favored—are to place responsibility for finding national defense employment on the objectors themselves, or to place thém in jobs vacated by aftees. In the latter case, it was uggested that the difference in (wage between private employment and Government service then might go into a special fund for the benefit of trainees. In Britain, conscientious objectors ave been designated by special tribunals which examine objectors and their beliefs. It has been made a local responsibility, however, to put objectors to work on defense projects. Reports received here from Britin indicate that in many cases local pinion has been mobilized against he objectors, and employers have ischarged them from private deense jobs, resulting in hardship to he objectors.

53 COUNTY MEN IN FRST DRAFT
Volunteers Expected to
Make Up Entire List; State’s Quota 395.
Fifty-three men will be taken from Marion County in the first draft call Nov. 19-25, Selective Service officials announced today. °
All are expected to be volunteers. An estimated 200 men have volun= teered for the one year’s military training ‘at the county's 15 local draft board offices. The volunteers will be classified first and those placed in Class 1-A will be taken before anyone is drafted. The official quota for each local poard in the county is: .Board 1, four men; Board 2, four; Board 3, two; Board 4, four; Board 5, four; Board 6, four; Board 7, four; Board 8 four; Board 9, three; Board 10, three; Board 11, four; Board 12, four; Board 13, four; Board 14, three, and Board 15, two.
Seite Is 395 Each bdard’s quota was based on the number of registrants in its area as of Oct. 26 in comparison with the state’s total number of registrants. The November draft quota for the entire state is 395 men. Local boards today received pho=tostatic copies of the national master order list and from these copies began compiling order lists for their inditidual areas. The local boards will cross off all numbers higher than the number of registrants in their local areas. For example, a person whose serial number was drawn sixth in the Washington lottery may have Order No. 3 in his own local board area because two of the numbers drawn before his in the national lottery were higher than any in his local board area. The local boards will mail ques= tionnaires to the holders of the low order numbers before they complete the assignment of order num=bers to all registrants in their areas. The final questionnaires will be mailed during the latter part of this week. Those receiving: questionnaires have five days in which to fill them out and return them. Those judged by the draft board, on the basis of information furnished by the questionnaire, as likely to be Class 1-A, will receive a notice to appear for a medical examination. :
Post Public Lists
If the individual passes the medical examination, he will be placed in Class 1-A. He will be notified of his classification, and if he is to be called, he will receive a notice to report at the Ft. Harrison induction station at least five days be=fore the time he is to report. Local boards wil post daily at their offices lists of individuals to whom questionnaires have been sent. ‘They will also post a list showing the order numbers of the various registrants as soon as they have finished compiling the order sheets.
