March 30 with selectees being inducted into the army on the same
examinations. This new procedure, it is estiheadquarters, will reduce by apnecessary for processing each group of selectees. The speedup program will, of course, work hardships on many individuals, but it will .benefit the army—and we're at war, Maj. Bayard Shumate, t director : of the state selective service, commented. Army Must Be Convinced Under the new procedure, the draft registrant will be sworn into the army immediately after he passes: his final physical examination. This means that the draftee, except in exceptional cases, will not have an opportunity to come home and wind up his business affairs and sell his automobile and -furniture as he can do now. In those cases where the draftee can show that it would be an extreme hardship for him to go into active service immediately, he may be granted a furlough. But he’ll have to convince the army that it is necessary. Proposes Conditional Sales Maj. Shumate suggested that persons notified to report for final physical examinations who have possessions to’ dispose - of should sell them on conditional sales contracts so that if they fail to pass the physical and are rejected the sale will not go through. He also said that it would be necessary for the employers to cooperate under the new program, with them guaranteeing their men’s jobs back if they should be rejected.
Here’s how the new system will work: The draft board first determines whether the individual should be deferred. If ‘he is not, he will be given a cursory physical examination by his local board doctor only general physical fitness. If he passes this examination, which he will unless he is blind, crippled or seriously ill, he will be placed in Class 1-A. 21 Days—1-A to Army He is notified of his classification and has 10 days in which to file an appeal, if he wishes to. At the end of the 10-day appeal period, if he has not appealed, he will then be sent a notice to report for induction at least 10 days in ativance of the date on which he is to report to the induction station. Draft officials say that at Jeast 21 days will pass between the time the individual ‘is definitely placed in Class 1-A and the date he is ordered to report for induction into the army. It is during the 10-day period prior to reporting for induction that the registrant should make the arrangements of his affairs which will become effective in the event he is accepted by the armed forces.

Indians Polifics
ALL THIS TALK about “hand-picked” candidates, it seems, is getting under the hides of our political leaders and the chairmen of both parties have come forth. stories are baseless, without fact, falsehoods and also not true. A few weeks back, G. O. P, Chairman || James Bradford listed his “invited” candidates for all county and municipal offices, which brought a loud yelp from all the party faithful who were not listed. They charged that he was trying It worked for a while, but now that unlisted
candidates have bobbed up all over the lot, especially in the judicial field, "he says it’s all right
all he wants is good candidates. When the Democratic. “king-: makers” got too active .in trying to hold down the fields ‘on their primary tickets and pushed certain candidates, the same yelps went up in that pasture and the intra-party feuding spread all over the lot. It broke out again yesterday when a group of :“old timers” at the Democratic club urged that past sins not be committed ‘again and that factional. ism and personal favoritism .be forgotten for once in the interest of the party. This. brought a scorching reply from County Chairman Ira Haymaker, who spanked those who “stand on the sidelines and criticize” but do nothing else. He. denied there was any “back room” shenanigans going on in the Democratic ranks. «His remarks followed a letter from him to all precinct committeemen branding - the : “handpicked” stories in the press as “misleading.” He said the central committee had * “an open mind” on the candidates. Mr, Bradford also has said that

Koesters May File Soon
ALBERT KOESTERS, chief deputy treasurer, is getting ready to. go after the top spot in that office in the Democratic primary. Walter Boetcher, the present treasurer, has said he will not run again. Sheriff Al Feeney has said he doesn’t want the job.
