Captain Ingiam, who had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Purple Heart, was killed in action It's Thrifty to Use Classified Ads! vY 1) Washington, March 30 OP) A conference here next week of State Selective Service directors was scheduled today amid reports that changes in regulations are impending to clear the way for drafting of fathers when other Classes are exhausted. National headquarters discounted the importance of the meeting, describing it as an annual affair to give State directors and national officers an opportunity to go over their problems and exchange ideas.

But reports persisted that there soon would be major changes in regulations, possibly lumping all fathers outside the non-deferable group into a new class. These reports are based in part on the fact that 1o keep up the flow of men to the armed services, it would be necessary to lift the ban against drafting fathers generally or make broad additions to the non deferable list. 2 Captains Named To Be Rear Admirals Washington, March 30 MP) President Roosevelt today nominated Capt.
