US, State Board Attention j
WASHINGTON, DC, April 10 Important plans are now un
der consideration by the federal government looking to the ex
tensive development of flight strips along the main highways of
the country for the landing and taking -off of aircraft, according to
ft statement from the AAA.
The project, said the AAA, en
visions closer coordination bet
tween air and highway transpor
tation and- has far-reaching im
plications not only from the
Standpoint of normal peace-time,
Civilian and commercial use, but
also from the standpoint of mili
tary operations. 1
Commenting further on the
proposal, Thos. P. Henry, of De
troit, president of the AAA. point
ad out that legislation already en
acted by congress authorizes the
public roads administration to co
operate with the state highway
departments in selecting the most
advantageous locations for flight
strips. Henry said in part:
"The airplane has always made
great use of highway arteries, in
charting its course, that is, during
daylight hours. The advent of
mechanized military equipment
and the increased use of the high
way for the transportation of this
equipment, . has rendered the
closer coordination of air and
highway transportation not only
eminently desirable but also inevitable.
Service Announced ,
Commemorating the "Day of
the Cross Rev. P. W. liickson,
pastor of the American Lutheran
church, has announced' services
for 10 30 this morning. They will
Include a special sermon and gos
pel and communion service.

Receives Hundreds of Letters

Funny
to
Tragi
! By The Associated Press
Hundreds of letters, ranging from the funny to the tragic,
have been received by state selective service headquarters here,
many of the writers seeking to locate strayed husbands or giving
reasons why young men should not be drafted into the army.
In spite of many announcements
that! it can not act as a missmg
persons bureau, selective service
headquarters still gets lots of let
ten front persons who want to lo
cate friends or relatives.
One ef the-most unusual let
ters was from a wesaaa who
waste to make sure-that her
son-in-law weald be drafted.
She said he belenss to the Sil
ver Shirts; with the result that
he eaat keep a Job tone eooush
to support her daughter. The
woman also wanted to find oat
hew her daufhter eould set the
husband's par check from the
army, if he Is drafted.
The woman, after charging that
the Silver Shirts preach fascist
doctrines, said a year in the army
would Mfree him from these in
sidious doctrines. He, like many
others, will, not want to take the
medicine that will effect the cure.
He has lost many jobs because
of his perverted ideas. He's will
ing to enlist if he gets a (offi
cer's) commission, very typical of
him to always want to start at
the top."
Sorry, Unable to Help
But Lieutenant Colonel Elmer
V. " Woo ton, state director of se
lective service, said he was sorry
he couldn't help her. Matters of
that nature ire up to the local
boards.
And then there was the fel
low who signed up in an Oregon
city for three years in the army.
After three days at Vancouver
Barracks, he decided he didn't
like it well enough to stay three
years. So he went to another Ore
gon city and volunteered for a
year, and was sent back to the
army. But the local draft board
thinks he might change his mind
again and try the navy.
: There are many letters from
wives, whose husbands have
deserted them, asking that these
men be drafted and the money,
be riven to the wives.
A girl wrote to Wooton asking
if she could join the army am
bulance corps, but Wooton said
that's still a job for the men. An
other girl wanted to become an
army pharmacist.
One woman wrote that her hus
band disappeared, and that the
police of many states and federal
officers were looking for him. She
asked Wooton's help, but four
days later she wrote that hubby
had been found.
Gets Cooperation
Another woman, very much
worried, asked, and got, Wooton's
cooperation in preventing her
neighbors from finding out that
her husband was not the father
of her two sons.
In 1911, the woman, who had
two sons, divorced her husband,
and remarried. The sons, although
not adopted by their foster fa
ther, used his name.
Wooton made the woman
happy by saying the sons could
register under their adopted
names, rather than under their
real names.
Many cards and letters, most
ly unsigned, come from persons
opposed to selective service.
One anonymous writer sent
evidence that soldiers at Fort
Lewis and Camp Murray are un
patriotic. His proof that the kind
of measles many of the soldiers
had was German measles. He said
a good American soldier wouldn't
get measles, of the German va-
nery.
Whenever a newspaper prints
a story about sickness at an ar
my camp, a soldier being killed
or injured In a traffic accident
or a soldier getting into difficul
ties, Wooton gets an eplstla or
two asking him "What do you
think of the selective service law
now?"
Wooton still thinks the law's all
right, but even if he didn't, he
Couldn't do much about changing
It
Civil Service
Board to Meet
On Vacancy
The Salem civil service com
mission will meet early next
week to 'consider whether it can
legally throw open an examina
tion for a vacant first aid cap
taincy to the general public
The commission was granted
authority by the council to make
the examination open, but was
informed Thursday by City At
torney Lawrence N. Brown that
he believed the examination
would have to be restricted to
men who have three years' ex
perience under civil service.
Brown indicated later that there
was a possibility that policemen
as well as firemen might be eli
gible for the captaincy, which
carries a salary of $150, and that
he would furnish the civil ser
vice commission with an official
opinion.
The examination for the cost
left vacant when Captain Charles
M. Charlton was called to active
naval duty, will be held some
time in May.
