Truman Lists
Draft
Deferments
WASHINGTON, Aug.. 20 -(JP)
President Truman today set many
a mind rat rest by officially de
ferring f married men, farmers,
all men with dependents and
many others from the . 21 -month
peacetime draft.
The deferments are far more
liberal than ; they were during
World War II.
Most of them had been pre
dicted long ago, but they were
not official until the president
announced them today in a 30
page set of regulations that also
ordered selective service to speed
up induction machinery.
This will be accomplished by
sending ' out the all-important
classification questionnaires as
soon as possible to single, non
father, jion-veteran eligibles af
ter men; 18 through 25 register at
their local boards between Aug.
30 and Sept.' 18. (Later, all ex
cept 18year-olds must fill out
the questionnaires.)
There will be no lottery as in;
the last war. The call to uniform
will be determined by classifi
cation (set by local board) and
by age.:
. These are the men who are
exempt I from the draft:
The law passed by congress
automatically exempts war vet
erans with at least 90 days ser
vice between Pearl Harbor (Dec.
7, 1941) and V-J day (Sept. 2,
1945), or with 12 months service
between Sept 16, 1940, and June
24, 1948 (the date the draft law
went into effect).
Also exempt by law are or
dained ministers, students ' study
ing for the ministry, and con
scientious objectors (from com
batant service).
Automatically deferred by the
draft law are high school stu
dents up to graduation or the
age of 20 (whichever comes first)
and college students for the rest
of the academic year, if they are
doing all right in their studies.

17 Men Killed
In B-29 Crash
RAPID CITY. S. D Aug. 20-
(P) Seventeen men were killed
late today when a B-29 crashed and
burned in a wheat field just off
the edge of the army air force
field.
Captain Thomas Siegler, public
information officer, said 17 bodies
were recovered from the wreck
age of the plane, which 'burned
for an hour and a half.
The heavy bomber, attached to
the 28th bomb wing,, was taking
off on a training flight when it
crashed shortly before 4 p.m.
(MST). Captain Siegler said all
aboard were killed. .
Siegler said the plane was tak
ing off when one port (left en
gine) caught fire. The pilot was
forced to feather his propellor and
as the plane passed the edge of
the runway, it banked to the left,
the left wing hit the ground and
the plane turned over and burst
into flames.

Walkout
Salem's one-day-old meatcut-
ters' strike ended late Friday af
ternoon when employers met un
ion demands calling ; for, weekly
wage increase of $5.
Announcement of the settle
ment was made by. H. E. Carl
son, secretary of the Oregon In
dependent Retail ' Meat Dealers
association, who represented
eight markets involved in . the
walkout Friday morning.
The new scale 'increases jour
neymen from $6J to $70 and head
meat cutters from $70 to $75 for
a 48-hour week. Agreement . was
reached at 5:30 p.m. at the con
clusion of an afternoon meeting
of Carlson, union .officials and
members involved ' at the Salem
Labor temple. - '
Markets struck Friday were at
two Busies: stores, two Erickson
stores, the Paramount, market,
the State Street market, Werner's
market and the Broadway Gro
cery '.and Market.
In granting the Increase, Carl
son told union .officials butchers
would have to operate "more
efficiently than ever to offset
the wage boost. Meat dealers,
he said, are caught in a "cross
fire' between the current buy
ers resistance and the demand
for higher wages.
Carlson stated the market own
ers agreed on the settlement in
order; to avoid a general tieup
of the local meat industry and
to prevent possible meat spoil
age which he said would nave
occurred had the strike continued
over the week end. ;
