Draft Plan On Drafts To Be Announced By Headquarters
Washington May 4 The Selective Service urges a new draft plan to be unveiled before boards exhaust their supply of men aged 18 to 26. No man over 26 in essential war work or agriculture will be drafted while the ban remains nationally in effect, though volunteers or nonessential workers may be called. If over 26 workers are drafted, protests should be filed with boards and then the state director. The national ban stands until Washington lifts it, not by state decision.

Senate Starts on Work or Draft Bill
Washington May 4 The Senate Military Committee opened debate on a work or be drafted plan. Maj General Hershey and top army navy officials were asked for reaction. The bill would draft any 18 to 45 registrant who shifts from essential to non essential labor without board approval. It would also reclassify 4 F workers and draft those refusing essential jobs or in non essential industries. Brewster urged immediate action to prevent a stampede. About 15 percent of space for shipping is saved by new packaging methods.

Ward Man Seized In Government Dispute At Montgomery Ward
Paul D. Lowell assistant operating manager of Montgomery Ward was seized by FBI agents at the government controlled mail order plant and charged with stealing or injuring U S government property. He was arraigned and released on bond with a hearing set for May 11. The case centers on a government poster about job dismissals since the plant was taken over April 26 and a dispute over the legality of the seizure and procedure. Outside the hearing Lowell defended his actions saying he read the poster to understand it. FBI agents were stationed at the Ward plant under the direction of the attorney general. Calm prevailed in the Ward situation as Judge Holly studied briefs in the government seizure case.
