Selective Service Bureau) ~~ Will Function Under Chief McNutt.

. + WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P.)— ‘Establishment of a new bureau of iselective service within the war manpower commission was accompanied today with a promise by ‘Manpower Chief Paul V.

Hershey, selective service director under the old setup, to head it. Hershey will be subject to supervision and direction of WMC Executive Director Arthur Fleming. He formerly was responsible only to President Roosevelt. ? { McNutt appears to have decided against following the recommenda‘tions of his management-labor committee. which three weeks ago proposed that Hershey be made vice chairman of the WMC. fond Retain Local Setups That committee’s report was privately circulated a few hours before McNutt’s announcement. “ There is expected to be little if any change in the local and state draft board organizations. McNutt praised the splendid work of the 8500 local boards and said it was “obviously advantageous” to continue operating the selective service system on its current administrative basis. Of the new bureau, ‘he said: “This organizatonal arrangement ‘will assure close co-ordination of the twin wings of the commission charged with meeting the needs of War manpower — selective service ‘for filling military requirements and the U.

HOLD HEARING ON CENSORSHIP

Price to Answer Charges That Mail Is Opened

In Territory.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P).— The senate judiciary committee today hears Censorship Director Byron Price's answer to charges that his office has been illegally censoring mail between the United States and its territories. Committee Chairman Frederick vanNuys (D. Ind.) told reporters

that the investigation would cover every phase of censorship.

Charge Mail Opened

Charges that the office of censorship is opening mail between this country and Alaska were made last week by Governor Ernest. Gruening of Alaska. He appeared before the committee to request that a bill legalizing such a practice be recalled, even though it already had passed the senate. The first war powers act states that only mail—with the exception of military mail—between this and foreign countries may be censored. Senator VanNuys said Mr. Price had admitted that legislation was needed to authorize censoring of territorial mail.

Individuality Oo

In the Appearance of Dentures

For years, individual mouth coloration has been completely overlooked when, making artificial dentures. Every wearer of dental plates had to get along with a denture base of the same flat pink color—a dead “giveaway” of false teeth. This is not necessary today. The new transparent dentures reflect the coloring of the individual mouth and blend perfectly into the oral background. They defy recognition. Let us show you samples.
