GIRL SCOUTS AND BROWNIES
GET READY FOR BAZAAR
The Girl Scouts and Brownies
are perhaps the busiest people in
town this week as the final work
on their many handsome items
gets underway.
One group of girls has been
busy stuffing dolls, another group
is making clever pincushions.
Younger girls have been making
lovely coin purses, key cases and
sturdy leather belts in their lea
ther craft group.
All the girls are working whole
heartedly in this bazaar to raise
enough money to finance their
summer camp next year, which is
the highlight of the Girl Scout
year.
Their leaders say the gift items
are really nicely made and will
certainly help solve that problem
of giving something unusual and
economical.

Want Inflation
SelfrCurbed; Not
Gov’t Controlled
WASHINGTON, (£>)—Moves to
curb inflation by industry and la
bor self-ccfntrol, rather than by
I strict government regulation, ap
! peared in the making today.
A select group of top business
and labor leaders were reported
planning a secret meeting in New
York next Tuesday with that idea
in mind.
Two of those reported invited
are involved in one of the biggest
union-industry struggles of the
day, the wage increase drive in
the steel industry. These men are
John Stephens, vice president of
th U. S. Steel Corp., and Philip
Murray, head of the CIO and its
steel-workers union.
Arrangements for the New
York meeting were kept secret.
But it was reported industry had
suggested it and, along with Mur
ray, such leaders of labor as AFL
president William Green and John
L. Lewis, chief of the miner’s un
ion, are to attend.
The main purpose of the meet
ing was said to be an effort to
achieve wage-price stability by
voluntary means while going
ahead with full civilian produc
tion and employment and still
continuing the big defense build
up. |
Mrs. Hall, wife of the station
manager of the C.A.A., arrived
yesterday with Pan American,
with her two children and will
make their home in a C.A.A. cot
tage.

Draft Orders May
Be Postponed On
Guard Members
After some misunderstanding,
the status of young men eligible
for -the draft, and a member of I
the National Guard or any other!
active reserve component of the
Armed Forces, has been clarified
as to whether he can be drafted
or not.
National Guard and draft offi
cials met last week to discuss the
Selective Service rulings.
Men in the Guard or any other
reserve component of the Armed
Forces and classified 1-A are not
deferred or exempt from the draft,
but their induction orders may be
postponed indefinitely by the lo
cal boards if “they participate in
all regular drills and training pro
grams, as evidenced by a properly
executed NME Form 44.”
The policy of the local board
presently is to postpone the orders
of local men if they remain active
with the Guard, according to local
Guard officials.
For men joining the Guard, if i
you have already received your
pre-induction notice to report for
a physical, you cannot join the'
Guard or any other active reserve >
component, but you can sign up
anytime before you receive your
pre-induction orders.
Draft officials also caution that
a form (NME 14) must be filed
with the draft board showing the
extent of participation in the
Guard, and the individual is re
sponsible to see that the form is
filed.

“Billy The Kid”
Wants Full Pardon
_ •
SANTA FE, N. M: </P)—An El
Paso, Tex., law firm has its infor
mation straight, Billy the Kid has
been on the dodge for the past 70
years and is a bit tired of it all.
Now more than 90 years old, the
notorious New Mexico outlaw
wants a full pardon for his crimes
so he can lead a normal life. The
Kid, whose real name was Wil
liam Henry Bonney, was sentenc
ed to death in 1881 for killing
Lincoln County Sheriff William
Brady.
It is common belief The Kid
died July 14. 1881, before the blaz
ing guns of sheriff Pat Garrett at
Fort Sumner, N. M. In fact, James
J. Watts, 91, now of Cayuga, Tex.,
said today he was with Garrett
when he killed The Kid. In 1882,
the Territorial Legislature award
ed Garrett $500 for slaying the
desperado.
But the law firm of Andress,
Iipscomb and Petiscolas of El Paso
says it isn’t so. The firm—which
says it represents Bonney — has
filed a formal application to Gov.
Thomas J. Marby for an uncondi
tional pardon.
They contend The Kid escaped
the Fort Sumner gunfight seri
ously wounded and has been liv
ing in Mexico ever since. Now
he’d like to come home to live
“openly without fear.”
The FBI adopted a “hands off”
policy. The Albuquerque FBI of
fice said there is no outstanding
warrant for the Kid’s arrest.
W. A. Keleher,, Albuquerque
attorney and prominent state his
torian, took the stand as a doubt
er. “I believe this is just one more
of the perennial appearances of
persons who claim to be Billy the
Kid,” he said.
crowded passenger cars.
Dewey said the trustees, David
E. Smucker and Hunter L. Dela
tour, had lost public confidence.
He threatened court action if they
did not quit by his deadline.
