lysis USES DT Draft of Fathers Ordered Halted; Cut Point Scores Washington, Dec. 20, (ff) All fathers are out from under the draft today but Selective Service quieted speculation that this might lead soon to inducting 18 year olds only. The end to the drafting of fathers coincided with a new re duction in Army and Navy point scores. But a high official of Selective Service said veterans are not re enlisting in sufficient num bers to narrow the draft any fur ther This means, said this official who asked anonymity, that temporarily at least, single men 18 through 25 must fill replacement needs of the Army and Navy. As has been the case since the end of the war, however, the great majority of those drafted will be youths becoming 18.

Out of a total of about 35,000 men inducted in November, Selee tive Service reported, only an estimated six to nine thousand were over 18. Fewer than 900 of the 35.000 were fathers. In halting the father draft yesterday. Selective Service also ruled that men with three or more children will not be permitted to enlist. These fathers are "not accep table to the armed forces," local draft boards were notified, but men with one or two children may volunteer.

In practice the ban on drafting of fathers applies only to men under 26. Older men have not been drafted since Japan surrendered. The new ban, it was understood, came as the direct result of pro tests in Congress that there no longer is any need to draft fathers. Those with three or more children have not been called since No vember 5. Selective Service also disclosed that because of a halt on all in ductions over the holidays, only about 30,000 men will be called up this month, as against a total request for 50,000 for the Army and 1000 for the Navy.

The Army and Navy both re duced their discharge point scores yesterday, making another 837,000 men and women eligible for re lease. Effective December 31, the We are NOT transporting as many people PER DAY a we did last yeai" but "Staggered hours" are no longer in force and our peak loads have increased by thousands of people per hour. We are running every bus we have available MORE BUSES PER DAY AND PER HOUR THAN WE EVER HAVE OPERATED. We have no more equipment to throw into service. We are in trouble with our tires shortage of new tires and sub standard war quality.

We have buses laid up in our shops because we are not able to procure parts. Mqny of our buses are "war tired" and require long periods for maintenance work. The enormously increased street traffic delays our schedules, causing late buses, bunching of buses, and interruptions. (See what happens to you in your car on our crowded streets.) On top of all this is the Christmas shopping and it will be worse in bad winter weather later. Strikes in the manufacturers' plants, shortages, have delayed the delivery of our 60 new buses until after July 1, 1946, UVJ HVJ (Army cut ie mttsted men'i scorel from 55 to 50 and the officers from 73 to 70.

The announcement said this would qualify 600,000 to leave the service. Effective January 1, the Navy reduced scores to 36 for enlisted men, 43 for officers', 23 for en listed WAVES and 29 for WAVE officers, a one point drop all around. The department said 237, 000 would benefit. Sign Lighted Tokio, Dec. 20, (JP)A huge, lighted "Merry Christmas" sign blazed tonight from General Mac Arthur's headquarters.

We are making this explanation, not an excuse. "The war is over" El GE Situation looks serious for us and for our riders, does it not? It hurts our pride that our service cannot be more satisfactory, but have you ridden buses or trolleys in other" cities? What has been your experience on the trains? How about hotel accommodations? Can you get waited on promptly in the stores and restaurants? They have the same troubles as we have and we are all trying to do our best. It Is physically Impossible for us to haul comfortably and regularly all the thousands of people who WANT transportation in the same few hours each day.

We could not do it in peak hours If we had 25 more buses. The only solution is continued effort on our part to carry oiu And on your part YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING, and DON'T TRAVEL IN THE PEAK HOURS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE PARK. PLEASE REALIZE THAT TRAFFIC CANNOT FLOW FREELY ON OUR MAIN STREETS IF YOUR AUTOMO BILE, YOUR DELIVERY TRUCK, AND YOUR MASS TRANSPORTATION BUSES ALL ARE USING THESE THOROUGHFARES AT THE SAME PEAK TIMES.
