More than half of the men ached-tiled to be inducted next week Thursday will go for pre-induction tests instead, the 90-day limit on their previous examinations having expired.

Bo 11,1 496 has mailed notices to the men of the change in their status. of the young farmers who have taken their preinduction examinations, Board 496 reclassified 2 into 1-A when it met Thursday: A final group of 2-C men 16-25 years of age also will take preinduction examinations in Syracuse on Feb. 22. Board 496 had what it described as "an interesting case" Thursday when a war worker appeared at the. office to volunteer for induction just after the time when he had been granted a 6-month deferment.

The employe of a Cortland plant is a married man more than 30 years of age, and has 2 children. He asked for his release, he said, after his employer had done nothing about keeping a promise to break in another worker to take over his job. The employe took his preinduction test in January, and had been wanting to enter military service for some time. The volunteer will go with the Feb. 22 contingent for induction.

New State Road Department Asked Gannett Empire State Bureau A1banyE6tab1ishment of a new State of Motor Vehicles and Highway Transportation was proposed today. Assemblyman Clellan S. Forsythe, Syracuse Republican, and a vet-ran in the automobile and motor transportation field, in advancing the plan, said the department is essential to meet future highway and traffic problems. He called for a constitutional amendment establishing the proposed department. If the amendment is approved by the Legislature at this session, it must be passed by the next new Legislature and then be submitted to the voters for ratification Wore it becomes operative.

"The present Motor Vehicle Bureau was set up more as a tax collection agency to handle operators' and automobile licenses and similar jobs," Forsythe said. "The proposed agency would be charged specifically with the responsibility to regulate automobile traffic, encourage safe driving, forecast future highway plans, co-ordinate traffic rules and regulations, and regulate the practices of many interests seeking to profit from the use of the highway maintained at public expense."

The local program, climaxed by Bundle Day Friday, Feb. 23, will. be sponsored by the school's Traffic Squad.

Pupils have been asked to bring in clean, serviceable clothes and shoes of every variety. While conducted primarily on behalf of children through the Save the Child Federation, the crusade also seeks clothing for men and women. Acting as home room sponsors, 22 members of the Boynton Junior High School Traffic Squad are advertising the campaign throughout the school and packing the clothing as It is brought in. The home rooms have been divided into two teams, and the competitive spirit thus stimulated has resulted in an early start to the crusade. Many rooms have already begun collecting clothes.

The Traffic Squad will appreciate any contributions of clothing the citizens of Ithaca can make. Goal of the national crusade is 2,500 pounds of clothing and shoes, and it is expected that approximately 1,000 school systems will participate. General chairman is Dr. H. Claude Hardy, superintendent of the White schools.

Insurance Bill Battle Expected Albany (A) New York's lawmakers, currently engaged in a preshowdown battle on the Ives-Quinn antidiscrimination bill which brought a public rebuke of the Liberal Part'y by Governor Dewey, today faced a new fight on another controversial issuemerit rating in unemployment insurance. Two bills, both of which would grant employers jobless insurance tax credits of about $80,000,000 in the next fiscal year, were introduced in the Legislature late Thursday. Although providing different methods for computing the tax on employers, both measures would reduce the present waiting period from 2 weeks to increase the benefit period from 20 to 26 weeks, and add $3 a week benefit to unemployed workers with dependents. Meanwhile, Dewey scheduled a conference on discrimination measure with a New York City delegation representing the Citywide Committee on Harlem. The group had asked an audience with Dewey to present arguments in favor of the Ives-Quinn measure prior to a public hearing on the bill next Tuesday.

Mr. Rogers asserted that all the Negro wants is a chancethe same opportunity as White people. The speaker expressed the belief that the South has done more than the North in solving the Negro situation.

Problem Unsolved "The problem will remain unsolved," the Rev. Mr. Rogers said, "until the Negro has equal opportunity with the White people economically, socially, religiously, and politically. This is a national problem that has never been faced fairly and squarely by either the North or the South, and there is much to be done to give the Negro cast league's, Hurley Poppen el Orch. Bale.

Tax Inc. MO ,7,., I. .41, 0 '44-It'' 1 Today In the War By DEWITA MACKENZIE IM The battle of Japan at long last has been fully joined, and American air might on a huge scale finally is ripping into the vitals of Nippon's war effort Our great aerial attack, from carriers escorted- by what is described as the largest battle fleet In history is a sequel to couz successful invasion of the Philippines, which has torn away Nipport's main protective shield and bared her heart. We have entered the final phase of the war of the Pacific, and while it's likely to be long and bloody, we are at close grips with the barbarians who undertook to subjugate the whole Orient and establish supremacy of east over west. west.

The immediate objective of today's attack, with Viceadmiral Mitscher in command of the air arm, apparently Is to destroy as much as possible of Japan's warplane fleet based at home. The operation, is of course, an integral part of the great Allied blockade which 'will sever all Nippon's lifelines and beat her war induatries to a pulp from the air. Challenge Significant It is of amazing significance that our naval armada should be able to approach the Japanese mainland to within less than ZOO miles. It's an insulting challenge to the Mikados home fleet and to his defenses by air. It advertises our supremacy in the Pacific.

One of the first thoughts which came to me when I learned of this sensational attack was that the war in the Orient is likely to take on a strikingly new complexion when the European conflict ends and the Allies the are able to release their colossal 'aerial striking power for use against Japan. The Japanese homeland is compressed Into a comparatively tiny spacea prime target for bombs. Employment of the total Allied air strength against Nippon may give us a better test than we yet have had of how close air power can come to winning a war on its own. I hasten to add that obviously air power can't win alone, but it certainly will be a major factor in subduing Japan. Japan Admit Impotency We await with confidence the outcome of this engagement which Admiral Nimitz tells us has long been planned and which "fulfills the deeply cherished desire of every officer and man of the Pacific The Japanese themselves announce soberly that waves of American carrier planes raided airfields around Tokyo for 9 hours today.

That means' the defense was unable to cope with our assault. Still, we must remember that it's always unsafe to make sweeping conclusions while a battle still Is in progress. Let's wait ifor final reports. Iwo Jima's Importance There's another aspect of this great show to which I direct.your attention. Subsidiary to the assault on Japan there is another attack on the Japanese-held island of Iwo Jima in the Volcano group, some 700 miles south of Tokyo.

Our warships and airplanes were bombarding this and neighboring islands, se well as the Japanese bases in the, Bonin Islands further north. Strategic little Iwo Jima has been under America attack for 69 straight days now. This protracted assault has been of the invasion type and-it has seemed obvious to observers that we were getting set for a landing. This may be the time. Iwo Jima is important for two reasons.

The Japanese air base there is a threat to the Mariana Islands to the south, and American possession of it would give xis another fine base from which we could strike at the Japanese mainland with heavy bombers.

14 while commanding the. US-Third Armes 3I8th Regiment, was the father of a V-12 apprentice seaman at Cornell, -John A. McVickar. His was the first unit. to break through the German encirclement of Bastogne and relieve the 101st Air-borne Division, marking a turning point in the Battle of the Bulge.

The regiment was part of the 80th (Blue Ridge) Division which repeatedly spearheaded General Patton's drive across France last 1 summer and early autumn, and played a prominent role in the Battle of Falaise Gap when the German Seventh Army was trapped and decimated after the Allied break-through at St. Lo. The. 318th Regiment received a unit citation for achievements in the Metz-Nancy sector when Patton's forces were pushing toward the Saar. The citation to Colonel MoVickar from Gen.

Horace L. McBride read in part: "The attack of the 318th Regiment on Dec. 4 once again demonstrated the superb spirit and dash that has characterized all the actions of the regiment in recent offensives." In civilian life Colonel MoVickar was a stock broker in New York. A native of that city, he attended 1 Massachusetts Institute 'of 'Technology but left to fight in the Mexican campaign. He went overseas as a second lieutenant in the first World War, receiving the Purple Heart, Silver Star, Oak Leaf Cluster, the Croix Guerre and the Distingushed Service Cross.

In this war he added the Bronze Star to his medals for valor. Mercury Drops hi Midwest By the Associated Press A "tremendous and severe" cold air mass pushed southeast across the Upper Mississippi Valley. and Great Lakes today, breaking the first prolonged warm spell since early November for most of the nation, and tumbling temperatures to zero and below. Turbulence in front of the movement, caused by the wedging effect of cold air slipping under warmer layers, brought thunder and lightning in the midst of snow to part of Vermont as well as an electrical storm accompanied by snow, sleet, and rain to most of New York State. High wind marked the onslaught of the cold.

Minot, N.D., reported a breeze of 31 miles per hour together with a temperature of 10 below. Accompanying snow swept eastward to Minnesota, with roads blocked in the vicinity of Fergus Falls and temperatures in the zero neighborhood. 4 The winds, the Chicago Weather bureau predicted, would keep pace with the advancing cold. The bureau said 25-30 miles per hour would be common, but added the iciness would warm a bit as it moved on. Ig 0.1..,:1;,,e.
