Colleges and the Selective Service Act Must Maintain Universities and Col leges and Permit Teachers and Students to Serve Country. Cc Metre men throughout Nebraska and the nation should help the Selec tive Service System avoid the demor alizing effect of relieving any occu pational claps of liability for service in the armed forces. This was the substance of an ad drtrs by Hrigadier-Gent ral Lewis B. Ilers-hey. dep'.ity director of the Se lective Service System, passed along today by Brigadier General Guy T. Ilenninsrer, state director of Selec tive Service. Pointing out that the primary purpose cf the Selective Service pro gram is to obtain men for the land and naval forces of the United States, the message of the deputy director goes on to say: "The Selective Service and the college personnel together face a j nrnhlem of vital importance to the T'nited States. Men for the armed forces we must have men who are suitable, men who are capable. Among these men must be indi viduals with cana. ity and with knowledge, rot only because from individuals cf this typo leaders must come, but in order that the morale of the group wiH be cemented by the fact thnt the best of our citizenry accepted their responsibility. "As this is done, the majority of our citizen" prist be assured that privileged classes are not created. The V.'orld war taught us that re gardless of the apparent necessity, it was decidedly demoralizing to re- linv" nr.v oCumtioTial class from iHhiUty to serve in the armed force's This fact mut be borne in mind in any consideration of Selective Ser vice and college personnel. "The congress intludcd in the Trninln? aTifl Servian Act a provi sion which gave complete deferment to (ollge students (if they so re quest) until July the first, 1041. "After July the first. 1941. the colli ges of the United States, their tep'bing fo res, their administrative r.taffs and their students face the prchkm of maintaining the educa tional sy.-tem of the United States, while at the snmo time individuals from ail groups of college personnel are cng.'.gei! in training and service in the armed forces of the United States. Deferr.ient3 after July the first, will be based primarily upon occupational reasons, upon depend ency, or upon physical disability. It if, to be expci ted that dependency will exist among the members of the teaching staff and of the adminis trative staff in far greater propor tions than among the students. There will be physhal rejections from all groups. The derision as to physical fitness is a technical one. The de rision as to dependency is one in which the finding of fact is a func tion of the local board. The prob lem of occupational deferments is one wliiih must be decided initially by the local board, with the priv ilege of appeal by the registrant if the c lassifi; at ion is unsatisfactory. , ' ' ' and o-cupational reasons will pre- vent many individuals from parti- tnating in attie training and ser vice f-.nt tl-fvo must ho for the good DON'T BE BOSSED by your LAXATIVE-relieve CONSTIPATION THIS MODERN WAY When you feel gassy, headachy, logy due to clogged-up bowels, do as million! do take Feen-A-Mint at bedtime.

She may have felt a reminiscent twinge recently when RKO Radio cast her as a school teacher who ia middle age becomes a swing addict, in its Bob Crosby starrer, "Let's Make Music". More currently she has a vivid serio comic role in "Footlight Fever," co featured with Alan Mowbray and Donald MacBride. Born in London, in her teens Miss Risdon studied at the Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating with highest honors and becoming an Instructress in the thespic school for several years be fore herself turning to the profes sional stage. On both London and New York stages, she became a popular favorite, appearing in more than forty plays which, la this country, included "Dear Brutus," ' "The Green Goddess," "The Silver Cord," and "Elizabeth the Queen," in which she played the title role on tour for the Theatre Guild. She arrived from London ia 1935 to repeat on the Broadway stage her London success in "Laburnum Grove," and upon expiration of that engagement she and Friend Hus band, Brandon Evans the actor, de cided to retire. For their place ic the sun they settled on a home In Beverly Hills, but, when the movies decided to film "Crime and Punish ment," they drafted Elisabeth tc the screen her first appearance, but a long way from her last. Audi ences have seen her in some fifty pictures in five years since that time. Says the sparkling little gray haired, green-eyed actress: "Either I retired too soon or camo to the wrong place to retire." cf the country and for the good of the colleges a large representation from college personnel at all times in our defense forces. "There are those who believe that there1 should be a law to defer stu dents, but that it should be restrict ed to include those enrolled in courses of a technical nature, such as medicine, dentistry, and engi neering. It is true that the indi icluals engaged in these courses oc cupy a position somewhat different than the general college student, but unfortunately, prohibition is many units resorted to in order to avoid a situation in which it is impossible to exercise temperance. In any re quest upon congress for legislative deferment, it is practically impos sible to find a stopping place. "I do not believe that the colleges can afford to be accused of demand ing privileges which appear to be for the benefit of tha individuals con-j ccrncd.

Gutzon Borglum Dies at Chicago Hospital Today Noted Sculptor Dies of Heart Attack Performed Great Work on Mt. Rushmore Memorial. CHICAGO. March 6 (UP) Gutzon Torglum, 63-year-old sculptor of Mount Rushmore, S. D., died today at. Henrotin hospital where he had been taken after suffering a heart attack. While Gutzon Porglum's life span was little longer than that of any man. he left a memorial which will live as long as the mountains of which it is a part. It is the Mount Rushmore national memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota, G.200 feet above sea level, and displaying f.O-foot head3 of four presidents, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, carved in a cliff of unstratified gran ite. He began work in 1927, and it was expected he would complete it in five vears, but by 1941 it was only Hear ing completion. The faces of the great figures are recognizable at three miles. He and his son. Lincoln, who is expected to superintend the work's completion, guided the project. Borglum was a hard worker, and often would be planning one statue or group while working on another. A work which would have re sembled the Mount Rushmore mem orial in size was started by Forglum on the sideof Stone mountain, in Georgia, but quarrels with members of the committee sponsoring the work led to his breaking off connections with it in 192,".. He destroyed his models', and for tlr's be was arrested, labor. but charges of malicious intent!

'A sharp unseasoned drop in the I prie of wheat, a 20-cent decline m hog prices, further depression m i the price of potatoes and seasonally 'over prices for er pre! mi'k wrs mainly responsible for the lower level of farm prices compared with a month ago," the division said. "Grain prices were weak. Wheat prices declined six cents and all ether grains except oats were one cent lower." The report said the drop in hog prices was offset sharply by increases in rri'e.s for ehoep ar.d limbs. Milk prices showed a slight seasonal de cline, eggs slipped two cents, and the price of chickens showed a slight increase. KAN3AN3 TO FEED PIRDS MANHATTAN, Kas.
