Heatless Monday Likely To End After Conference
Washington February 4 heat less Monday observed for the third time may be abandoned by the fuel administration after a conference of state administrators. The meeting called by Fuel Administrator Garfield aims to gauge coal savings from the five day closing order and the two heatless Mondays. If results justify it, heatless holidays may be dropped in favor of the railroad embargoes now in force to ease coal shortage and eastbound traffic congestion. Final decision awaits an exchange between Administrator Taftfield and Director General McAdoo.

Marriage by Divine Right Report From Los Angeles Cult
Miss Mary Grace Sherbondy, 17, describes a Los Angeles cult led by James Ramsey and others that allegedly used baptism and a divine right to avoid the draft. Cult members, including two young naval trainees, urged desertion and arranged marriages as a means to evade service. Police raided The Ark of God Home, arresting five leaders on espionage charges. Sherbondy says she was coerced and later helped expose the scheme.
