Start Fulfilling Draft Duty Today T By JAMES BURK MILLER Staff Writer, The Statesman So this is the draft! , i . For some 36 young men, Marion County's contribution to the 63,000 asked of the nation in February's draft call duo to leave today this exclamatory truism has already been partially realized. One of the Salem representatives of this, the latest call, is Don Mervin Archibald, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Archibald, 289 N. 23rd St. Like thousands of youths before him and probably thousands to come, Don has accepted his call for military training, "to defend his country if necessary. He, with the rest of his number, is slated to leave Salem Wednesday for Portland and then to Fort Lewis and then .... But what preceded that which is now scheduled for Don Archi bald and other Don's approaching the age of 18 years? Don, like many of his buddies, was a student at Salem High when he reached 18. Under the Selective Service Act, he was called upon to register with his local draft board. That was the last ho heard from Local Board 10 until sometime aft er he was 18 years and six months of age. The draft call hasn't yet had to dip any farther, than the 18-year-olds. ' Physical Exam There followed a complete phy sical examination in Portland and then another waiting period of about 10 days until the final okeh and a classification of "1-A" was handed down. With this notice Don was informed that he could re ceive his induction papers in about 21 days. Induction papers were re ceived recently and now it's off to training camps. The stop in Portland Wednesday will include another physical exam and the young men will be sworn into the service. From then until discharge they are "Army prop erty." . . A member of the Bent-Eights, a local roadster club, Don said he'd like to fulfill his part in the Army in some phase of mechanics. "I guess that's not up to me, though," he admitted. Looking ahead to the 24-months of Army life yet to take care of, Don said he wasn't too anxious " . . . . but it's got to be done and I might as well do my Eart now as later , . . sure, college' i in the offing, but this duty comes first." Fewer Deferment Pleas And this attitude by our young men seems to be a growing thing, reports John Black, chairman of Local Draft Board 10, Salem. "Re quests for deferments giving di verse reasons are getting fewer all the time as young men are coming to realize the growing importance of their military obligations, Black explained. Early in the Ko rean conflict Black said his office was barraged with innumerable reasons for not being drafted. -"Oh, the complaints do continue, though," he said. Religious groups protesting any form of combat ; must be considered by the board. "Oftimes these people can be plac ed in non-combat work with the Army." One of the more difficult groups to deal with, according to draft board records, are the people liv ing In remote districts far-removed from metropolitan areas. "These persons have often lost contact with the national concept Of our international problem and must be reminded of their respon sibility," Black, explained. These people often suggest that someone else be taken. They are then re garding the draft like taxes ;a good thing for the other fellow to take care of," Black said. "I try to tell them that ours is principally a draft procurement office; not a deferment office. We are given an allotted number of men for a month's draft and -that number , must be met If pne man says he can't make it, and his reason is a sound one, then someone must be found to take his place the re- BRING IT IN TODAV FAST RELIABLE PEN . .

Accusation Denied The accusation made by some that this Is a "rich man's war" with those of means sending their sons to college rather than allow ing them to be drafted, was denied by Black. "It is the American way that anyone can go to college if the family will sacrifice for that end or the young person will put forth an effort to finance the edu cation ... but, after all, the young man is only safe from the draft as long as his mental ability keeps him in school," Black pointed out. "And following college ho is still subject to the draft. This is de finitely everyone's fight" Assembly Bans Attacks on rters Revo SACRAMENTO, Calif, m The California Assembly Monday passed a bill providing a year in jail and a $1,000 fine for making an unprovoked attack on a news reporter or photographer on the job in a public place. The bill, approved 41 to 23, now goes to the California Senate. Assemblyman Julian Beck, a Democrat from San Fernando, ar gued his bill would help guarantee free dissemination of news. "Too many people feel today that it is open season upon anyone in the news industry," he said. The bill was opposed -by As semblyman Marvin Sherwin, a Re publican from Piedmont, and George D. Collins, Jr.; a San Francisco Democrat. Sherwin called it reactionary, unnecessary and class legislation. Collins said f the bill "is just a phony for currying the . favor of the press." He said present as sault and battery laws aro suffi cient. The bill would annly to radio and television reporters and can era operators as well as newsmen and photographers. Doctor Terms Big Breakfast Key to Health By HOWARD C. HETN LOS ANGELES tfl A big breakfast is the foundation of a healthy life, a Mayo Clinic spe cialist said here recently. Also important are a light lunch, a leisurely dinner, lots of sleep and strict allocation of sufficient time for bodily elimination each day, added Dr. J. Arnold Bargen. of Rochester, Minn. "The average person who ad heres to such a schedule is never constipated," he said. "Altogether too many people are dashing off to work in the morning after noth ing but a cup of coffee and a piece of toast." Bargep, professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota, ad dressed the opening session of the six-day Alumni Convention spon sored by the College of Medical Evangelists, a Seventh Day Advent 1st institution. In attendance are some 3,000 persons from all parts of the United States and from Canada, Mexico, Hawaii . and India. Bargen spoke on "the Irritable bowel syndrome" or gastric symptons due to nervousness. In the average doctor's practice at least half the cases of digestive distress are traceable to nervous ness or psychosomatic sources, and not to organic disorders, Bar gen told a news conference. Diarrhea, stomach and intestinal cramps and irregularity are the commonest symptons, often mis taken for signs of organic disor ders, he said. "Digestive disturbances are the most common complaint of civi lized man, and the higher the civi lization the more widespread is the complaint" he declared. Bargen said this type of discom fort is specially prevalent among business and professional men. Many ministers, he said by way of example, are subject to diar rhea on Saturday and Sunday days they are appearing or pre paring to appear in public but are perfectly well the rest of the week. - Bargen urged a return to as simple a life as in compatible with present day requirements at least an avoidance of mental and di gestive irritants. A chief problem of general prac titioners Is seeing as many pati ents a day as possible, said Dr. Francis T. Hodges, San Fran cisco, who spoke during a panel discussion i oi the physician's pub lic relations. "Patients will excuse almost anything except neglect" said Hodges. "They'll go along with the doctor if they know ho has been delayed by an emergency cast. But he must not give the impression of inaccessibility." . . ISTANBUL UR Greece wants Turkey to buy. its cement from Greece instead of Yugoslavia. That's been one of the points at issue in -trade talks between the two countries. Informants say Turkey has been buying large quanties of cement from Marshal Tito's government because (1) the price Is lower than the Greek price and (2) Turkey hopes to develop a bigger trd with Yugoslavia. The dispute over cement comes at a time when Western diplomats are hoping that Turkey, Greece and Yugoslavia will be able to ef fect some sort of co-operative de fense agreement for the Southern Balkans.
