Plenty Single Married Men Available He Says
Chief Clerk George Slagle of Frederick County Draft Board No 2 discusses the sixty four dollar question raised by a letter claiming there are plenty of single married men available for draft. Slagle notes the writer, married with one child, was recently reclassified to I A from 1 B, and refuses to name the selectee. The letter contrasts with the draft law and cites the line what am I going to do with my wife and child as evidence of misstatement. The board interprets the phrase as referring to childless married men and maintains the need to fill slots with eligible draftees.

The Office of Price Administration ruled that draught beer prices cannot be raised despite new federal taxes, with only minor per glass increases likely. Bottled and canned beer may see increases of 1 to 1.50 per barrel, and other wines and cigars face modest hikes to offset higher taxes and production costs.
