"The “real” call of fathers in Indiana will begin in November, Col. Robinson Hitchcock, state draft director, reported today as state headquarters received a call for approximately 600 more men in Nov ember than it is to send
in October.
Some fathers in non deferabe occupations, such as
store clerks, will have to called next month, but oe number will be very small,
the draft director said. The state's draft calls have been | increasing gradually since August. | The October call was larger than in| September and Beptember’s larger | than August. During the summer] ‘months the state's calls were very low,
“Essentials” Needed
* Col. Hitchcock said that fathers in non-deferable occupations, would | be called first. But the number of the men in these occupations is- so small that fathers in non-classified and the so-called essential industries will have to be called to fill the November quota and probably all monthly calls thereafter, Fhe draft director said that for all practical purposes the fathers in non-classified occupations and the essential industries will be treated ‘AS one group. A shoe store owner is an example of a man in a non-classified occupation. Newspapers are in thetessential industry classification.

Under present regulations, fathers will be called according to their order numbers, the draft boards, as usual, deciding each case upon all the factors involved. Local draft boards are now completing the inventory ordered by ~ national selective service headquarters of all men in their areas under 45 years of age. After this is completed on Sept. $0, most of the boards will immediately begin processing fathers in order to build up their pools of 1-A men.

At Convention. .
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 21 (U. P).~ War Manpower Director Paul 'V. McNutt told the American Legion today that the uation is failing to meet its war production sched- |b ules, and warned that every man of draft age must see .the war through.” In an address prepared for delivery at the legions silver jubilee convertion, McNutt said there are more than 63,500,000 men and women “actively engaged” in indusiry or serving in the armed forces, but he warned that “weé are reaching the end of our available manpower supply.” He did not, however, mention the draft of fathers specifically. If victory is to come within a ree~ sonable period, he said, the nation's war industries ‘must meet constanttion schedules: “And ‘that today we are failing to do.” he said. Roané_ Waring, retiring national commander of the legion, said legionnaires must “support, encourage and fight for” a dictated peace of “absolute victory, not a negotiated peace with any enemy nation,” Gen. George C. Marshall, army chief of staff, told the Legion today that America's armed forces—having used only a small portion of their combat troops—were now réady to carry the war to the axis “with a power and force thaf we hope will bring this conflict to an early conclusion.” He warned, however, inst overoptimstic interpretations of war developments. Marshall said that he believed there was “some misunderstanding as to the degree of success we have!
WILLKIE SAYS “HE'S WILLING TORUNIN'44
Disclosure in Magazine Seen as Opening of Drive
For Nomination.
By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 231.—Wen-
{den Willkie's disclosure in Look magazine that he is willing to be!
the 1944 presidential candidate "of
ing of a campaign for the nomination, Willkie, who entered the last Republican convention - as a dark
nation, sald he was ready to give his “complete and = undeviating service” to the G. O, P. only “if the ‘Republican party intends to drive heart and soul for jectives.” While the article acknowledged his willingness to accept the nomination. Willkie pointed out he was ready to be “a worker in the ranks” for such a “liberal” party.
A ‘Formal Opening’
The fact that Willkie's announcement appeared in Look was regarded as significant as the magazine has publishing roots deep in the fertile Mississippi valley. The magazine is

But Washington assays the Look layout as the formal opening of the campaign. Gardner Cowles was Willkie's companion on the -latter's trip to Russia and John Cowles accompanied Willkie to Great Britain. Willkie's article was based on a series of direct questions submitted by the magazine, in one of which he was asked § Whethes he would be ‘available for | 14L HOmIAtIoh. He replied:
“Ta
“If the Republican party whends
objectives such as I seek to outline ... . I shall give it my complete and undeviating service whether as the convention's nomiriee or as a} worker in the ranks.”
Wants Liberal Revival
What Willkie proposed in Look is to conduct a liberal revival meeting ‘within the Republican party. He said the G. O. P, could win next year but “must first. win a victory within itself”. through action of the “progressive and courageous party members” in re-establishing the
| party's “great liberal traditions.”
Willkie called for “a rebirth of enterprise—a real enterprise,” and
