RAP UNSIGNED

DRAFT LETTERS|

oi Notes ' Giving Information Should Be Signed,

Hitchcock Says.

By EARL RICHERT If you think Neighbor Smith's boy is evading the draft by pro-

pounding “phony” reasons for de-.

ferment, don’t sit down and write draft officials an anonymous letter of unsubstantiated allegations. , You should sign your name to the letter and state whether you will substantiate your statements with affidavits. This was the advice. given today by Col.- Robinson Hitchcock, state draft head, to those persons who want to help the local boards but who often by refusing to back up their charges and give names do more harm than good.

Cause Needless Problems

“Many of these citizens have the best motives,” Col. Hitchcock explained, “but they unintentionally present unnecessary problems and correspondence. “If a citizen has any information which might affect a classification, he should write to the proper local board, giving his name and address and state whether he will substantiate his statements with affidavits,” he said. Col. Hitchcock also pointed out that many people also write anonymous letters to high government officials pertaining to the draft and that it takes “much valuable time and effort” to get these letters back to the proper local boards where they should have gone at first. Keep Calm, Parents Told

There are a few parents, the state draft head said, who, when their son is called to military duty, immediately began a crusade to get all other boys of the community taken into the armed forces regardless of whether those boys are phys“ically, mentally, morally or educationally qualified. It is some of these parents who are chiefly responsible for the anonymous letters, he added. Col. . Hitchcock advised parents not to become unduly excited if they do not hear promptly from selectees recently inducted into the army. It should be remembered, he said, that they are kept very busy during the first few days of their .military life and regular correspondence should not be ekpected until the soldier has reached his permanent duty station. “Mothers, fathers and relatives of gelectees can be of real assistance fo the draft program by keeping a calm and rational attitude predominant in their home communities,” he commented. Meanwhile, state draft headquarters has advised members of local .draft boards that they should not individually: discuss classifications or impending classifications with registrants, their dependents or employers. A local board member, it was pointed out, can do no more than express an opinion on any case and the person interested frequently assumes that the individual opinion has the force of a board decision and misunderstanding develops.

PREPARE TO SET COUNTY VALUES

Assessors to Confer With

Tax Board on [Funds And Duties.

For the first time in 10 years Marion county tax assessors are preparing to reassess real estate for taxing purposes. They held a special meeting at the court house yesterday snd a committee was appointed to appear before the state tax board at 10 a. m. tomorrow for final instructions. Assessors of the county’s nine townships first want the state tax board to tell them where they are going to get the money to pay large staffs of deputies and they want some specific instructions on valuation standards. The last time real estate was assessed was in 1932 and none has been held since although the state board has had the power to call for reassessments. Under special authority provided by the 1941 legislature, the tax board a year ago ordered reassessment of real estate but failed to determine means and details. Seeks Information

“We are going to find out at the meeting tomorrow just what we can expect to get done this year and how we're going to get appropriations for it,” said James Cunningham, Center township assessor. The committee that will appear before the state board tomorrow includes Mr. Cunningham, Paul Teagarden, Washington township assessor; Carl Smock, Perry township assessor, and John Mays of Decatur township. They will report back to a full meeting of all assessors at the court house next Tuesday afternoon.

RETURN 3 PLANTS TO PRIVATE OPERATION

WASHINGTON, May 21 (U. P.). —The navy returned the three Brewster Aeronautical plants to private management today, President Roosevelt having found that they will be “privately operated in a manner consistent with the war effort.” Naval inspectors and supervisors were surprised when Secretary of Navy Frank Knox, acting on Mr. Roosevelt's orders, told them to step out at midnight. They had not been informed such a move was pending. The plants at Long Island City, N. Y.; Newark, N. J, and Johnsville, Pa., were seized on April 18, because of government “dissatisfaction with the management.” It was never explained what dissatisfied the government, although it was reported that the federal bureau of investigation had found enemy aliens in minor managerial positions, and that numerous employees were axis lovers.

STUDIES CCC-NYA MERGER WASHINGTON, May 21 (U. PJ). —President Roosevelt was reported in congress today to be considering the consolidation of the national youth administration and the civil-

ian conservation corps.

HONOLULU, May 21 (U. P.).—Not since Dec. 7 had there been such consternation, avildfire rumors and muttered curses in Honolulu. From one parched lip to another, the word spread—‘“no beer!” It is still obtainable, but the supply is much short of the demand. With imports cut off, Honolulu's two breweries are incapable of keeping up, particularly in view of the great influx of army and navy personnel. They provided only one-third of the beer sold in the Hawaiian territory before the war.

Honoluluans Short of Beer; Strange Drinks Don't Satisfy

Soon after Pearl Harbor, wholesalers began rationing to retailers, who rationed customers. Now it’s

next to impossible to get a whole case and offen impossible to get even a bottle. Honoluluans are con-

suming drink that they—and no one else—ever heard of a few weeks ago. These include the jitterbug. a Pearl Harbor, a ‘'whimwham and a jeep. The base of nearly all is wine, which has never been very popular. It is mixed with soda, with “coke,” with ginger ale, seltzer water and almost everything else.
