He got a hearty chuckle from the audience, and again when he advocated "free and unhampered elections" and went on to say: "On candidates and on election issues and remember, I am try ing to think of this year as if It were 1939 I would rather trust the aggregate judgment or all the people in a factory" from presi dent to the laborers than the judg ment of the "few who may be fi nancially Interested."

Officials have decided to use much the same lottery system to determine who actually must go to the military camps that was used In the World. war draft. Second Number ; . - Series to Govern . ' . Registration cards will be sent to each draft, board. The board will writs or stamp a serial num ber in the upper'lef t hand corner : of each card. Then, the cards will be thoroughly 'shuffled. Thus the first man to register on the morn ing of October 12 may . get the highest number and the last to present himself In the evening may get the lowest or any num ber In between. . But these are not the numbers which determine the order In which the men will be called for service. That will be determined ' by a drawing in Washington. Each draft board will wire to the war department the highest num ber It has Issued. ' From these reports the army will determine the highest num ber held . by any registrant In the country. If that number Is 10,227, for instance, 10,22? numbered slips, . each In a druggist's gelatin cap sule, will be placed - In a big gold fish bowl. After the cap sules have been thoroughly stir red, the president or some other high official, will, blindfolded, pick a. capsule from the bowl. It will be opened, and the num ber of the slip announced. If that number Is 232, for Instance, it will mean that the man In each draft area who hs the serial number 232 on his card will be the first called. That gives him a second number, for which a space Is left in the upper right corner ' of his registration card. It Is called the "order number. All Numbers Will Bo Drawn, Explained - The number of men to register In eaeh draft board area will vary. In some It may total less than 100. and will run all the way from that up to the 10,000 or so expected In the most popu lous district. Taking the case of a district with 78 registrants. If the first number drawn from the gold fish bowl Is higher than 72. it does not count where that district is concerned. The draw will continue until each of the eapsules has "been opened, and the first number, less than 72 which Is drawn becomes "order number one" so far as that district Is, concerned. It the first nunber of 'less than 72 drawn Is 25. for example, the man In that district whose serial number is 25, will be the first in the district to be called. After the order numbers have been determined in that manner, the local board will make its de cisions on deferments and ex emptions. If the man holding order number one is placed in a deferred classification, ths man holding "order number two will be the first called. If ths first eight should bo deferred, ths one who originally held "order num ber nine" will automatically be come the first to be called. Then will come the physical examina tions and as men are weeded out tor bodily unfitness, the same process will continue. Body of Murder Victim Is Found PITTSFISLD. Mass..

One-Man Air Force Is Taking Revenge Hollander Whose Family Was Wiped out, Raids Nazi-Held Cities By DEVON FRANCIS (Associated Press Aviation Editor) NEW YORK. Sept. 20-P-A one-man air force in the person of a Dutch flier whose family was wiped out at the start of the nazl offensive through the low coun tries last May is carrying on nightly "vengeance" raids against German .military objectives in the Netherlands. The airman is Koene D. Par mentler, former chief pilot for the Royal Dutch airlines. His Raids have been directed principally against Rotterdam, where his family was killed during the crushing nasi bombing forays which signalized the start of the blitzkrieg, and The Hague and Amsterdam. After each raid, he drops a signed note overboard to advise the Dutch, inhabitants, for their own protection, where he will strike the following night. I first ran on , to the story of Parmentler in Bermuda two weeks ago. Today I confirmed it in American aviation circles. Buddies Wiped out It is reported, but unconfirmed, that the nazis have placed a price equivalent to 21 0,0 00) on his head. When the Germans' invaded the Netherlands, they leveled certain sections of Rotterdam with bombs. Of the 20 pilots la the Royal Dutch airlines. 40 were put into uniform for air defense. AU were killed. Of the remaining 20, Parmen tler escaped, first to France and then to Lisbon, Portugal. There he minglsd with the flying frater nity of the port. He said he was going to repay the Germans many fold. He got to England and offered his services with qualifications; He was to have the use of Dutch planes. He was to make his raids alone. He asked nothing but sup plies of bombs and fuel. The royal air force agreed. For weeks, regardless of wea ther, he has carried on his venge ance flights. He leaves by the clock and returns by the -dock, stalking off without a word after he lands. Davis Reelected Papermakers Head Charles F.
