LXV O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1945 NO. 37
NEED 11,200 MEN
NEXT 6 MONTHS IS
SERVICE ESTIMATE
Farm Men 18-25
Expected to Furnish
5,100 of Quota
During the first six months of
this year, Nebraska selective service
will need approximately 11,200 men j
he meet the general military ser
vice induction requirements of the,
f , 'j-med forces, Brig. Gen. Guy N.
Henninger, state director estimated
recently on the basis of present j
conditions.
It is expected, the general said,
that these inductees will come from
the following sources:
New 18-year-olds . 2,100
P'rom Farms, ages
18 through 25 . 5,100
From industry, busi
ness, ages 26-29 . 2,000
Men ages 30 through 37 2,000
11,200
General Henninger gave the fol
lowing explanation regarding these
man-power sources:
The 18-Year-Olds
It is estimated that 3,900 Ne
braska youths who attain the age
of 18 during the first six months
of 1945 will register with selective
service. One out of every three
probably will be unfit for service
and therefore, will not qualify for
induction. This will leave about
2,600 qualified for induction but
500 of these may be unavailable for
induction until after July 1. The
remaining 2,100 will be inducted.
The Farmers
As of January 1, 1945, there
were 10,837 unexamined men, ages
18 through 25, deferred in class
II-C for farm work in Nebraska.
Because of the acute need of the
armed forces for young men, Ne
braska selective service has been
directed to review the farm de
ferment claims of young men. It is
lieved that half of the 10,837 farm
ers, age 18 through 25, can be in
ducted with full regard for the
Tydings amendment. ‘
The Tydings amendment to the
Selective Service act does not give
the agricultural workers absolute
exemption from induction. Such
exemption was never intended.
When he asked Congress to adopt
his amendment, Senator Tydings
said:
“All my amendment seeks to do
is provided that whenever a person
is employed continuously in good
faith in the production of food,
and taking him off the farm would
leave a large section of land un
cultivated, and there is no replace
ment, he will be deferred upon
those facts until a replacement can
be found.”
Nebraska agricultural experts
agree that at the close of 1944,
there were 145,000 male agricultural
workers of all ages in Nebraska.
Nebraska selective service believes
that the induction of 5,000 of these
workers, ages 18 through 25—less
than 4 per cent of the total—will
not leave large sections of land
uncultivated nor seriously hamper
food production in the state. In
addition, while the 5,000 are be
ing taken from the farms for in
duction, an estimated minimum of
3,600 discharged service men will
be returning to the states. Some
of the 3,600 veterans will revert
to farm work, thus offsetting a
number of the men being inducted
from agriculture.
Men in Industry and Business
As of January 1, 1945, there were
only 684 unexamined Nebraska
men, ages 18 through 25, deferred
in Class II-A and Class II-B for
all work other than agriculture.
More than half of the 684 are in the
Merchant Marine service and can
not be considered for induction
now. The remaining 300 are spe
cial cases—scientists, expert tech
nicians and advanced medical stud
ents—whose current contribution,
or immediately pending contri
bution to the war efforts is so
great that induction at this time
cannot be accomplished prudently.
Since industry and business have
no available, physically qualified
registrants, ages 18 through 25,
selective service must look to the
next age group—men 26 through 29 —
for inductees. On January 1, there
were 4,845 such Nebraska regis
trants, and selective service is con
templating the induction of 2,000 of
them.
Men Ages 30 Through 37
Since the acute need of the
armed forces is for young men,
capable of the highest degree of
efficiency under battle conditions,
Nebraska selective service is count
ing upon men, ages 30 through 37,
to make their contribution to the
war effort by working in civilian
activities essential to the war ef
fort rather than by serving in the
armed forces. Therefore, Nebraska
selective service wants its men,
ages 30 through 37, who are already
working in essential activities, such
as war plants and agirculture, to
stay on the jobs they now have so
long as there is a recognized need
for their services. Nebraska se
lective service wants its men, ages ,
30 through 37, who are not now

SEN. DENNIS H. CRONIN
itCNORED BY COLLEAGUES
Senator Dennis H. Cronin, editor
and publisher of The Frontier,
celebrated his 76th birthday at his
desk in the Nebraska legislature,
but the occasion wasn't overlooked
by his intimate friends, Senators
Fred A. Mueller, Harry A. Foster
and C. Petrus Peterson. Commem
orating the day they offered legis
lative resolution No. 1 which was
passed unanimously after the rules
were suspended. The resolution
speaks for itself:
“Whereas, the Honorable Dennis
H. Cronin, an honored and re
spected member of this 58th ses
sion of the Nebraska legislature,
was born on January 10, 1869, at
j Eagle Harbor, Mich., and is today
celebrating his 76th birthday; and
“Whereas, the Hon. Dennis H.
Cronin was a member of the house
of representatives of the Nebraska
legislature in 1911, 1913, 1915 and
1917, and a member of the senate
of the Nebraska legislature in 1919
and 1921, and that subsequent
thereto, in the summer of 1921,
he had the distinct honor of being
appointed United States marshal for
Nebraska, which office he retained
until May, 1932; and
“Whereas, as we travel the path
ways of life, it is a pleasure and
delight to encounter personalities
and character like the Hon. Dennis
H. Cronin, who has directed his
first thoughts to the affairs of
I state and its people, always keep
ing in mind that a public office is
1 a public trust. He has always been
an individual of good cheer with
a smiling countenance and a heart
that beats for friends and his fellow
man. His friendship, loyalty and
devotion have won for him a warm
spot in our hearts:
“Now, therefore, be it resolved
by the legislature of Nebraska that
this legislature pause in its delib
erations to offer its congratulations
and best wishes for the happiness
and prosperity of the Hon. Dennis
H. Cronin, and to express the hope
that he will have and enjoy many
more happy birthdays.”

DISTINGUISHED UNIT
BADGE TO SGT. WYANT
Fifteenth AAF in Italy—S/Sgt.
Richard W. Wyant, 22, boinbsight
maintenance mechanic, son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. R. Wyant of O'Neill,
has recently been authorized to
wear the distinguished Unit Badge.
A graduate of O’Neill High in 1940,
he was a farmer prior to his entry
into the service December 22, 1942.
He has been overseas since Febru
ary of this year. Mrs. Wyant is
the former Virginia Monson of
Fairmont, Minn.
The award was made by Brig
adier General Charles F. Born,
chief of staff of the 15th Air Force,
to the 4G5th bombardment group for
its outstanding performance on a
mission against Floridsdorf oil ref
inery at Vienna, Austria on July
8, 1944. At that time, the 15th Air
Force group commanded by Col.
Charles A. Clark, Jr., of San
Antonio, Texas, was in the midst
of a concentrated drive to knock
l out vital German oil centers. The
Floridsdorf refinery was feeding a
considerable amount of oil and gas
to the Nazi Wehrmacht and Luft
waffe.
The 465th bombers battled their
way through a savage enemy flak
barrage to launch a devastating at
tack upon the target. Their bombs
scored direct hits on many units
of the refinery.
The citation reads in part: “Forty
to fifty enemy planes viciously at
tacked the formation. In a running
fight which lasted for 20 minutes,
the group succeeded in driving off
the enemy fighters after destroying
seven and damaging others. Later
reconnaissance showed that as a
result of this attack, the Floridsdorf
area was rendered non-operational
at a time when the European war
was approaching a critical stage.
