Twins Join fhe SPARS N. J. Board ir" sfrwi' Refuses to Draft Dads By GILBERT MILLSTEIN In a bitter castigation of industrialists who use replacement schedules as a means of deferring- unqualified youths, "stool pigeons," and "company yes-men." Vincent de Paul Slavin, 46-year-old chairman of New Jersey's largest draft board, declared yesterday that the board would not induct By GEORGE DIXON. Washington, D. Aug.

We discovered Dr. Berle is doing regular doctoring in the emergency room at the Social Security Building, where WPB is also quartered, but she is working for the U. S. Public Health Service. Further, we were assured, she is doing a fine job.

Lieut. Col. Edmund H. Jones of Selective Service told us today that his wife can now qualify as an expert on the process of government. She achieve! this enviable status, he explained, because the Joneses have rats.

Barker, also of the Miami police, who said the impression on the They also discovered that a nest of rats had joined the family group uninvited, of course.

Mrs. Jones did not wish to use steel traps or poison because of the babies and dog so she called the local health office. It referred her to the Department of Agriculture. Agriculture informed her it had gone out of the ratting business and that rats were now the responsibility of the Department of Interior. We see a spot for a gag here but we pass it up, because of our veneration for Secretary Ickes.

Mrs. Jones said she called Interior, as directed, and was told that rat control had been transferred to the State Department. "The State Department?" she exclaimed. "You don't mean the State Department?" "Yes, the State Department," she was told. "It is now handling rats." Mrs.

Jones said she was sure there was a mistake but called the State Department anyway. To her astonishment, the State Department confirmed that it was now- in the rat-catching game. "Tell us where you live and we will send a man out right away," Mrs. Jones quoted the State Department as saying. "I told them I lived in Arlington," Mrs.

Jones continued, "whereupon they said they were sorry; that they operated only in the District of Columbia. They suggested I call the Public Health "I did. I went over the whole thing again. And do you know what the Public Health Service said? It suggested I get a big steel trap!" We discovered the explanation. The State Department is not in the general rat-knocking-off racket.

It thought Mrs. Col. Jones was calling up about rats in a government building. We are terribly, terribly hurt today because we have just discovered that we are misunderstood. This painful discovery came about when a fellow stopped us in the corridor and said: "Y'ou've certainly got it in for OPA, haven't you?" We were so flabbergasted we could hardly speak, which is something cf a situation in itself.

It took us a good two seconds to un-flabbergast ourself and make reply. "This is just nlain vicious." we told him. "Far from having it in for OPA. as you put it, we love and cherish it. OPA has brought us our happiest moments.

There is hardly a day that it doesn't bring a little d-abness into our sunshine we mean a little sunshine into our drab life. "Our feeling toward OPA is best expressed in the words of a great poet. Y'ou will recall that this great poet was reclining on a sun-baked plateau one day, with purple mountains in the background, and wrote: "I love OPA, its coat is so warm And if I don't tease it, 'twill do me no harm." We told this fellow to take a good look at us. "That is a horrid request," he said. "Why should "Because, if you do, you will note that we are practically racked with joy," we said.

"Y'ou will see that we are in transports." "If you are in transports," he retorted, "why don't you get a convoy?" We cut up his body and put it into four suitcases, which we sent to four friends, being a stanch believer in Vice President Wallace's theory of equal distribution. We then continued with our raptures. That state of ecstacy was attributable directly to OPA. It had just sent us a copy of a directive defining which kind of house slippers are non-raticned. OPA said all house slippers are non-rationed, except the following: "Indoor or house footwear shipped from a U.

S. factory, or imported after Aug. 31, is rationed if made (1) with any rubber in the soles, (2) with cattle-hide leather in the upper, or (3) with grain leather countersoles other than heads, bellies, shins and sharks of five iron or less."
