PRICE: 7 CENTS JANUARY DRAFT WILL BE ‘HEAVY’ 29 to Report December 18 for Preinduction Examinations Holt county will furnish a group of inductees to the armed forces on Thursday, December 13. Number of men and names have not yet been announced by the selective service board hers. The group, however, will be made up from among those who had nreinduction physical exam inations in November, including: Robert L. Retke, of Page; Rich ard H. Heiss, of Page; Dewaine H. Williamson, of Orchard; Don Jesse Clark, of Ewing; Joseph J. f Skudlar, of Burwell; Harold Ko pejtka, of Inman; Donley E. Moss, of Stuart; Robert G. Ful ler, of Stuart; Wendell J. Babl, of Emmet; Robert B. Blackmore, of Atkinson; Richard W. Walton, of O’Neill; Otto R. Bartos, of O’ Neill; Eldon and Elvin Dohnal, of O’Neill. Meanwhile, 29 men are being ordered to report for preinduc tion physicals on December 18. From this group will be picked the men to furnish the January draft call, which is expected to be "heavy." Brig.-Gen. Guy N. Heninger, of Lincoln state selective service di rector, said he fears many Ne braska youths are “placing them selves in jeopardy” by not regis \ tering for the draft. This is the result of unwitting action or an “I-think-I-can-get away-with-it” attitude, Hennin ger said. o In either case, the general said, failure to register is a violation of law and makes the delinquents li able to penalty. He said he could make no es timate of the number of delin quents in Nebraska, but he said local boards have standing in structions to turn over the names df suspected delinquents to fed eral authorities for investigation. Henninger reminded Nebras ka youths that they must reg ister for the draft within 5 days G of their 18th birthday. The selective service head also * advised Nebraska college and o 0 high school Svudents “not to be alarmed” if they are first classi fied into class 1-A and retained in the class even though they are full-time students. Under selective service proce dures, Henninger said, after reg istration an 18-year-old student is placed in the 1-A category. When his number is reached, he will be sent for physical examination. But if he is ordered for induction ° and the student requests defer ment on grounds he is a full-time student, his induction is postpon ed until the academic year in col lege is completed or until he graduates from high school or reaches the age of 20 in high school.
