Flett, who has served on the Board of Selectmen since 1924, can serve as Selectman from Westover Field until he leaves for foreign duty, and that thereafter no one could replace him, anyway. As the town's indignation at the thought of replacing him grew. Col.

Flett, Belmont's first volunteer in World Wars I and II, awaited at Westover Field orders to enter combat service overseas. Last March the Selectmen adopted a resolution which in effect named Col. Flett the town's first citizen and emphasized that he was irreplaceable. They still think so, and the rest of the town does, too. Girl Reporter Vanishes, FBI Probing Mystery lagher.

To Owners Draft of Fathers Not Due in State Until After Nov. 1 Married men between 18 and 33 with children will not be drafted in Massachusetts until some time after Nov.

1, possibly the first of the year, it was indicated yesterday when it became known that the draft quota for August had been cut to half the size of the quot-ia for the preceding six months Slashing the August quota leaves a large number of single men and married ones without children eligible for draft during the remaining months of this year. The single men in most cases will be boys of 13 or those whose deferments in industry will have expired. A cut in personnel at induction stations is expected to follow the draft curtailment, which will take the pressure off the 175 draft boards throughout Massachusetts. By the end of this month these boards are expected to be half-way through the group of married men without children, and the smaller quotas are expected to cover the draft in this state for at least five months. Mass Meeting Will Hear Plan for Racial Peace A non-partisan mass meeting, sponsored by a group of civic organizations including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Race Relations Committee of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, New England Division "of the American Jewish Congress and many others, will be held Sunday afternoon at the Boston Arena.

Steele, president of the Boston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who said: "We arc not going to have any race riots in Boston. This city has always been friendly to the cause of racial equality and the situation is not inflammatory here." Dr.

Brog-na said yesterday in denying defense motions for a new trial. The other defendants are Horatio Beal, brother of the former state official, and Anthony Spinelli, contractor.

The former Public Works head was sentenced to serve 18 months on charges of bribery in connection with the building of a tuberculosis sanatorium in Cambridge. Horatio Beal was sentenced to three months, and Spinelli to six months on charges of conspiracy to bribe.
