NEW CASTLE, Ind. Sept. 18 (U.| "P.).—Sheriff Cash Robinson said
today he had arrested a suspect in the slaying of 17-year-old Gene Mathes, high school basketball star who was shot fatally last night when he and a group of youthful companions pulled their “jaloppy” up beside a parked car on a lonely road near here.
According to police, Mathes and| i
three youths decided to take a ride
"when they finished their studying about 9 p. in. As they drove along Murraydale road, near state road 103, they saw a parked car. Jotted Down License The boys told police that Mathes climbed onto the running board of their machine as it drove slowly
- past and that without warning, the
occupant of the parked automobile opened fire with a pistol, striking Mathes in the head. He died a short time later in Henry county hospital. Mathes, who was a center on the high school basketball team, was accompanied on the fatal ride by Ralph Estell, 16, driver of the car,| Paul R. Lewis, 17, and Charles Caldwell, 15, all of New Castle. Sheriff Robinson said the suspect was traced through the license number of the car which was. scribbled on a piece of paper by one of the ‘youths as they drove away from the scene of the shooting. An unidentified woman Who was believed to have been in the parked car was quoted by the sheriff as saying her
. companion fired a .32 revolver at
some boys who drove by. Sheriff Robinson said the case would be turned over to the grand

Draft Board No. 14—
By EARL RICHERT
Draft board 14 will be calling married men without children by early November, William ©. Birthright, board chairman, said today. The board has enough single men, mostly 20-year-olds and meén in the 35-to-44 group, to last up until the first call in October. : Then the board will send the single ‘men now deferred because they are supporting collateral dependents. And while there are quite a few men in this category in the board area there are not enough to put back the time of call of married men for more than a few weeks,
Covers North Side Area
Mr. Birthright said that when the board began calling married men without .chHdren it first would take those wit financially independent wives. Board 14, which. covers a North side residential area, called a number of married men whose wives and families were not dependent upon them prior to the change in the draft law in July which made bona fide family relationships rath-

er than dependency the chief grounds for deferment.. After the order was issued, the board immediately’ reclassified a number of 1-A married men whose wives and children were not dependent on them and put them back in 3-A. August "Call Unfilled
This resulted in the board being unable to fill its calls during August for the first time since the draft law went into effect. The first August call, for example, was for 71 men, But the board was able to send only 42 men because the others they had planned to send were married men who were placed back in 3-A under the new regulations. Mr, Birthright said that. in reclassifying the single men with collateral dependents the board would not place a man in 1-A in cases where it was felt it would work “a terrific hardship.” “Our policy in all cases,” said Mr. Birthright, law-and justice.” Job Deferments: Studied
_ All requests for occupational deferments are investigated thoroughly by the board and each case is decided upon its merits, “To defer a man because of his occupation,” the board chairman said, “we've got to be convinced he’s really vital to the war effort.” Mr. Birthright said his board felt that the armed forces should get all their men through selective service. “We feel, that it is inconsistent to have a selective service. system and at the same time weaken that system by providing for volunteer service in the navy, marine corps, coast
guard and other special’ services,”|
he commented.

ice ‘system. It appears that all manpower for war purposes should be within the selective service pools and from that source the men should be selected for the several branches of service. The navy in the last world war, during the year 1918, finally selected this system and we don’t think if weakened the navy.” Mr. Birthright said that the board also felt that it is “discriminatory and undemocratic” to grant deferments to youths financially able |P to go to college while the boys not able to go off to school are forced into the armed forces.

PATTERSON HITS COMPLACENCY
Undersecretary of War Warns U. S. That We Cannot Coast to Victory.
CAMP HOOD, Tex., Sept. 18 (U, P.).—Undersecretary of War Robert
few Americans “who think they can coast to. victory with business and pleasure as usual,” warned today that an all-out victory cannot be achieved with any compremise in the war effort. “There aré still a few Americans who think they can win a war surrounded by all modern conveniences,” he said. “It can’t be done.” Mr. Patterson, speaking to officers and soldiers of the tank destroyer command here, praised their “determination to see this thing through,” and added: “1 wish these people who complain about the gas shortage and the rubber shortage could spend a day here. It would open their eyes. It would open their minds. ..
Must Be All-Out
. . “In some quarters the war is not as all-out as it could be, as it should be, as it will have to be. This has got to be an all-out war because the alternative, at the end of it, will be all-out victory or allout defeat. No compromise is possible. The other side will not offer
to strike again. We will not accept any such compromise. You can’t compromise with a pair of rattlesnakes.” Mr. Patterson said the tank destroyer command training ground was one of the largest in the world, and thousands of men were learning to fight with weapons that had already proved themselves in combat. Next year he promised, even better weapons would be available and training would be speeded up to handle four times as many men.

Too old for the first draft, he volunteered as a driver for the BritishAmerican corps in Libya. He got action quickly enough. He] - was on the Egyptian liner “Zamzam” when she was shelled and sunk in 1941. Taken captive, he was imprisoned in German-held France, but not for long. Jimmie was too restive. Whijle being transferred by train to another prison, he and a fellow Amerigan, Thomas Greenough, leaped "from the train window and succeeded in escaping to the U, S. consulate in Vichy. He was sent home that year, but the ice business seemed dull. He jcined the Ameri-can-China volunteers on the staff of Col. Claire Chennaull of “Flying Tiger” fame and sailed for the Orient, via Australia. Jap bombs hit Pearl Harbor while he was al sea.” On reaching Australia, he volunteered for Red Cross work, was accepted and sent to Port Moresby when the allied bomber base was established here.
