It will also mean 30 to 60 days more of civilian life for many registrants who were scheduled to be called up in January and February. These estimates were made to- day by some of the state Selective , u - Service officials now holding their semi-annual conference at national headquarters here. The Army orginally had plan ned to take 20,000 men in Jan uary, 25,000 in February and presumably the same in the suc ceeding months. That would have provided 10,000 new soldiers via ... the draft route by July 1 But the Army announced earli er this week that for lack of funds, it will take only 10,000 in January and 5.000 in February. If ,t sticks to the 5,000-man quota . in the succeeding months, it will enter July with only 60,000 draftees in uniform. An Army source said, "There is no prospect for an increase in the quota." Registrants 23 and younger ap parently will benefit most from the draft curtailment. The No vember and December calls in many states exhausted the avail able manpower in the 25 and 24-year-old age groups. A total of 10,000 men were inducted last month and 15,000 are scheduled to go this month. Paradoxically, the cutback will,wiU sPcak on the "Pan American mean more work for lnral draft Hnarric An official at tho ncitirma i , Selective Service headquarters explained it this way: "When you're drafting every body, you are taking nine out j of 10 men. But when the draft call is small, you are examining 10 men to get one. Consequently, there is more paper work with less results." Late News Bulletins Don't Worry, Boys WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.

Cops Puzzled Over Series Of Robberies Bus Station Is Ransacked Local police were still puzzled late yesterday over two robberies, one at the bus station and the other at the Morehead plane tarium, both of which took place early yesterday morning. Officers reported that the bus station was , entered sometime between midnight and 7 o'clock in the morning. The thief came and went through a window in the front of the ticket office. Apparently the window was left open the night before, since there was no evidence of force. Everything in the station was ransacked and $6 was discover ed missing from the desk in the ticket office. An official of the bus station who reported the robbery said that the thief tried to enter the lunch room but failed in the attempt. The other robbery took place sometime during the morning on the site of the Morehead plane tarium.

MATHER Mather Finishes McNair Lectures In Final Address "It will require the good will of religion as well as the in telligence of science to take full advantage of the opportunities that are available in this age of potential abundance," Dr. Kirtlcy F. Mather, noted Harvard university geology professor, de clared in his third and final ad dress on "Religion in This Time of Crisis" here last night. Dr. Mather who delivered the John Calvin McNair lecture series here this week, used "Persoec-' tive for Tomorrow" as the topic of his last address on the relation of science and religion. "At the moment, there seems danger of unwarranted pessimism concerning the luture of man than of too much optimism," said; Dr. Mather. He explained this pessimism as being the result of the "in creasingly widespread acceptance! of the 19th century philosophy? of Mai thus." - - . . - Malthus taught that popula- tion tends to increase faster than the means of subsistence, and that poverty is inevitable unless late marriage or prudent re- straint lower the birth rate, and ?o rhprk nnrmlatinn Mankind is hardly justified in hoping and working for a world in which all men everywhere may live ' together in peace, prosperity and security if the Malthusian principle is valid," he said.

The new bill states that any member missing two or more meetings must furnish a written excuse and if the excuse is con sidered unsatisfactory, the erring member will be called before the assembly for impeachment proceedings. The controversial NSA rim- burscmcnt bill was opposed first when Tom Kerr (SP) pointed out that a bill passed several weeks ago specified that all bills re ported out of committee had to be mimeographed and 75 copies made available. Acting speaker, George Rodman (UP) upheld Jack Worsham's (CP) decision that the bill was correct when presented in tri plicate. An attempt to appeal the chair's decision was defeated. Kerr then pointed out that the Legislature's by-laws state in article VIII, section IV that, "No other bill for appropriation of money that is presented to the legislature shall be voted upon on the night on which it is first presented to the legislature if said appropriation is in access of the sum of ten dollars." Rodman upheld the by-laws, but a motion from the floor ap pealed the chair's decision to the legislature members. After a heated debate in which it was pointed out that the bill, if pas sed, would violate the by-laws, the chairs decision was voted down and the bill was passed. The NSA delegates, Jess Ded mond, Al Lowenstein and Jim Godwin attended the convention in Madison, Wisconsin this sum mer at their own expense when it was believed that an appropria te LEGISLATURE, page 4) gasoline and kerosene, presum ably to be used in lighting the bonfire prematurely, was confis cated.

Whit field regarding sidewalk parking. "I let the boys off as light as I could." Judee Whitfield said. I don't even like to see them up here at all, but they must cooper ate with us if we hope to relieve the situation." "What we're trying to do is call it to the attention of all the boys that the pedestrian has to have somewhere to walk and th? sidewalk is the only place," Whit field said. He explained, "A dangerous sit uation has developed because of sidewalk parking, mostly on Co lumbia and Cameron streets. We've had a lot of complaints. "Of course there's nothing we can do about it but call it to the attention of the boys and hope that they are right thinking peo ple and that they will cooperate. "We have a bad situation here on account of limited space and a large number of cars. It just re quires a little of the golden rulf on the part of all to make it safe for everyone."
