To Draft Married,
Childless Men ,
• ■ , *
WASHINGTON, (A5) —Selective
service director Lewis B. Hershey
said today new regulations are “in
the works” for a draft of married
men aged 19 to 26 who have no*
children.
Hershey said an order has been
drafted for the approval of Presi
dent Truman and defense man-'
power agencies which would can
cel present deferments for men
with one dependent.
Hershey told the House armed
services committee of the propos
ed order during hearings on a bill
for universal military service and
training.
TThe bill would make 16-year
olds subject to the draft. Some
Congress members have been in
sisting that young married men
ought to be drafted ahead of 16
year-olds.
* Extending the draft to married
men in the 19-26 age bracket can
be done without legislation. All
that is required is an executive or
der from the President.
Hershey told the committee the
proposed order would limit de
pendency deferments to:
1. Men with one or more chil
dren,
2. Men with a wife and chil
dren, and
3. Men with more than one de
pendent. This could be, for in
stance, an aged parent and an in
valid sister.
Hershey said he was virtually
certain the interested manpower
agencies would approve the order.
Willie Foster of Munz Airways,
and family, accompanied by Vera
Nelson, sister of Mrs. Foster, re
turned from the vacation trip to
California where they spent the
holidays.

Millions Damage
In States Freeze
OBy The Associated Press)
The worst wintry storm to hit
the deep south in SO years has left
the area with damage in the mil
lions of dollars.
Some cities isolated and with
business paralysed for as long as
four days have just begun to add
up their losses. In Florida alone,
the driving, near-freezing rain
which wthiped the state for 18
hours was blamed for the deaths
of an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 cat
tle in nine counties.
Ammon McLellan, editor of the
Okeechobee News, said many
head of livestock were weakened
and left so helpless by the storm
that they would die. He, estimated
the loss in livestock alone at more
than $1,000,000.
Most of the citrus fruit crop es
caped damage and vegeta b 1 e
growers were 'believed not hard
hit, but freezing temperatures
were reported again today/as far
south as northern Florida; gener
ally, though, temperatures were
above those of the past few days.
Mississippi, hardest hit state,
listed 16 deaths from the storm.
Louisiana, where the tempera
ture, dropped to as low as 12 be
low zero, at Tallulah, and eight
below at Minden, had nine deaths.

piano with its clothes off.
Rail Strike Brings
Mail Embargo
WASHINGTON, <AV-The post
office department Saturday de
clared a nationwide embargo on
certain classes of mail as a* result
of the railway strike.
Postmaster General Donaldson,
in announcing the step, said it
was necessary to extend restric
tions laid down Thursday ki cer
tain areas, because the switch
men’s strike now has spread1 to
more than 50 railroads serving
approximately 100 large cities.
The initial embargo, which Sat
urday’s order extends throughout
the nation, applied only to mail
moving to and from 14 eastern
states. »
It did not restrict the movement
of mail moving within states and
within certain sections. Saturday's
order makes similar exceptions.
Affected by the embargo are;
1. Second class mail, except
daily newspapers.
2. All third and fourth dam
matter, matter of the first class
exceeding eight ounces in weight,
and air parcel post exceeding two
pounds in weight.
Restrictions will not apply to
medicine, drugs, serums, labora
tory specimens, artificial limbs,
dentures, eyeglasses, surgical in
struments and dressings, or to
money shipments by banks.
