IT’S GO TO SCHOOL OR ARMY INDUCTION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (U. P.), —Selective service today gave American high school boys the choice of going to school or toting a rifle— and if it's school they can't play hookey. It announced that boys who entered high school before they were 18 years of age will be given a

{chance to graduate before becom-

ing eligible for induction, If their choice is school, selective service said, the boys will have to attend “continuously and satisfactorily.” The new regulation applies to all students until they reach the age of 20. If a student fails to graduate by the time he is 20 he auto-

matically becomes liable to induction. *

were flying off the tip of Kamchatka, three Russian P-63's flew alongside and “performed acrobatics.” The flight, moving along at 20,000 feet, met unpredicted headwinds on the first 1000 miles of the journey but Giles said the weather man “changed it to tailwinds when told he would be thrown overboard unless he did sométhing about it.” Giles also asked army officials to notify Mrs. Clyde A. Smith of Fairbanks that her husband, a captain and a member of the crew, was passing over her home but that he {was “sorry@he can't drop in.” Mrs. Smith was “Miss Fairbanks” in 1941. White Horse Half Way White Horse is the half-way point from the standpoint of mileage but not flying time. The planes were expected to make better speed on the second half of the trip because of a steadily diminishing gas load, The mileage from the takeoff point-~Muzatani airfield on Hokkai~ do, northernmost of the Japanese main islands—to Washington is 6509 by way of the Nome-Fairbanks-Yukon point followed by the planes. An alternate southern route, which would have stretched it to 6762 miles, had been prepared in case bad weather was met. ; The B-29's left Japanese soil within. 19 minutes of each other beginning at 3:01 p. m. yesterday. The second plane was in command of

#1 Maj. Gen. Curtis E. Lemay, chief of

staff of the 20th air force, and the third under Brig. Gen. Emmett O'Donnell, commander of the 20th’s 734 bombing wing. Their flight crews were composed of veterans of ihe B-20 campaign against the Japanese homeland who are eligible either for discharge or extended furloughs at home. Each plane carried a crew of 12 to permit rotation during the long trip. After swinging down from Alaska and across the Canadian rockies, the three planes will cross into the United States in the vicinity of Duluth, Minn, and head for Washington by way of Hayward and Green Bay, Wis, Lansing, Mich, and Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Needed Long Runways The war department said the Mizutani airfield, near Hokkaido's capital city of Sapporo, was chosen for the takeoff because it is one of the few in Japan which has the long, concrete runways necessary

Davis, director of the office of economic stabilization, to Reconversion Director John W. Snyder. President Truman transferred OES to Snyder in a surprise move late yesterday. In his long-awaited reorganization of government labor services, . Truman gave Schwellenbach authority over the war labor board and war manpower commission as well as a voice in making the wage stabilization policies under. Snyder. With his new powers, Schwellenbach emerged as probably the strongest labor secretary in U. 8. history.

Schwellenbach has scheduled conferences with the war labor board and war manpower commis~ sion to discuss the transfer of their functions, powers and appropriations to the labor department as ordered by Mr, Truman. Mr. Truman said that eventually every labor agency in the government will be centralized in the labor department.

200,000 Americans Idle in Disputes

By UNITED PRESS With peace in its.second month, strikes and shutdowns kept nearly away from their jobs. Eighty-three thousand were idle in Detroit, scene of the automotive workers’ fight for higher wages. Demands for a 30 per cent increase—582 hours’ wartime pay for a 40-hour reconversion week--brought a rash of strikes in the nation’s oil refineries, Members of the C. I. O. Oil Workers struck at plants in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and West Virginia and promised to complete ly halt production in the vital Calumet industrial area near Chicago by the week-end. On the production end of the oil

strikes were threatened along the Texas gulf coast. The Gulf Oil Co. and the Texaco refineries at Port Arthur, Tex., were expected to close momentarily after 10,000 workers voted to strike to enforce wage demands. Production workers at the Goodrich Rubber Co., Akron, O., began returning to their jobs today as operating units were set up. The workers, numbering approximately 15,000, voted Sunday night to cross picket lines set up by 800 foremen seeking recognition for their independent union. Picket lines appeared around the East Pittsburgh plant of the Westinghouse Electric Corp. yesterday as 10,500 white collar workers struck for incentive bonuses. The 11-day-old work stoppage curtailed operations in three Westinghouse plants and Jjdled some 27,000 production workers. A strike of 1000 United Fuel Gas Co. pumping station operators entered its second week today following failure of another attempt to settle a wage dispute. Company
