WET FOR WAR WIVES)

Draft Officials Warn That ‘Special’ Funds Are Unavailable. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (U. P).

sized tonight that wives whose husbands soon will be drafted can expect no “special” assistance from the government and must work out their own financial problems. Married men with dependent wives

early November — “certainly by Christmas”—according to Maj. Gen. Lewis B, Hershey, national draft director, and officials here believe the army's present rate of expansion will necessitate calling married men with children soon thereafter. (So far in Indiana, local boards - have confined their calls of married men to those with wives and * families who are not financially dependent on them.) ‘ The army has attempted to soften the blow by obtaining congressional approval of a dependency allotment

hill—now in force—permitting pay-|.

ment of $50 monthly to a dependent wife; $62 a month to a wife and one child, and $10 additional for other children.

No Other Benefits

Draft officials emphasize that no other benefits can be paid under the bill and that no “extra” funds can be expected. . For example, they said, a wife who moves to less expensive quarters or to the home of her parents must bear the moving or other expenses involved. Army and draft officials repeatedly have suggested that dependent wives seek jobs in war industries—to solve their own financial problems. This would be a comparatively simple answer for those without children but would not prove entirely feasible where children are concerned unless they could be cared for-by family members. i . Seek 18 and 19 Groups

The army has delayed the drafting of married men as long as possible to prevent dislocations ‘inevitable when families are broken up. To this end, it has brought constant pressure on congress to amend the draft law to permit induction of youths of 18 and 19 years of age. Congress has refused to take any action because, observers believe, the proposed amendment is loaded with political dynamite and can be avoided until’ after November elections. The army last winter failed in an attempt to gain authority draft 19-year-olds. The issue was compromised to permit inductions of 20-year-olds.

Rather Have - Youths

A war department spokesman said the army would rather have youths than a men, contending they make “the best possible soldiers.” a “Physically, they are/tough, mentally they are pliant,” he said. “And they haven't any strong home ties.” Hershey, in disclosing the impending induction of married men, renewed the plea for drafting 18 and 19-year-olds, but congressional sources predict that no action

will come until December. :

Some persons here, however, felt - that public opinion would influence congress to adopt the proposal They believed civic organizations and churches, faced with the choice of having family men or youngsters taken from communities, would demand prompt action along lines recommended by the army.

Leave Equipment At Play Grounds

The Saturday event will conclude . week of “hot campaigning” in he drive to meet Indiana’s quota of $19,000,000 in war bond sales for 1August. The: committee will also have next Monday in which to attain the goal. The Marion county payroll savings workers will concentrate this week on industrial plants to achieve sales of 10 per cent of the pay roll. Firms Added to List

The Washington Post today reorganized its women’s page and appointed a city editor for women’s activities who has been ordered to pick interesting material and “to throw the tripe in the wastebasket.” In a front page box headlined, “For the Ladies, Bless 'Em,” the Post said: “Newspapers are preity stuffy institutions. “Most of us are doing the same thing today we did 20 years ago. No one knows why, particularly the] reader, except that it has always been done that way. ‘ “Take the case of the so-called ‘women’s page.’ “Some time in the dim past some
