State's Farm-Market
Road Building Program
Texas $78,000,000-a-year pro-
gram of new highway construction
—with emphasis on farm-to-mar-
ket roads—was praised here to-
day by Ben Ramsey of San Augus-
tine, who is actively forwarding
his runoff campaign for lieutenant
governor.
“In every section of the state
I've visited during my campaign,
I have found farm-to-market roads
completed or under construction,”
Ramsey said.
“Many more such roads are need,
ed to further the development if
our rural sections, and I pledge
my fullest support to the mem-
bers of the state highway commis-
sion who are seeking to continue
this wise policy,” he declared.
“It is also a great source of
pride to me, as an economy-minded
public servant who for many years
in the Texas Legislature has helped
to maintain the policies and pres-
tige of our fine highway depart-
ment, that this vast system of ours
is being maintained at a minimum
cost, in spite of a tremendous vol-
ume of traffic,” Ramsey declared.
“This efficient maintenance by
the engineering forces of the high-
way department thus allows the
major portion of iur highway funds
—some $78,000,000 out of approxi-
mately $100,000,000 expended an-
nually on the 7exas highway sys-
tem— to be concentrated upon the
construction of new highways, of
which the greatest number are the
badly-needed farm-to -market
roads.”

Filling of the Texas draft quota
of 2,513 men for September is be-
ing jeopardized by the fact that
many men, now classified in I-A,
have failed to report marriages
and other changes in their circum-
stances, Brigadier General Paul ,L.
Wakefield, state director of Selec-
tive Service, charged in a strongly-
worded statement today.
“If we fail to furnish the num-
ber of men desired from this state,
this failure bn the part of many
men will be the chief factor in
that failure,” Gen. Wakefield said.
The state director said that many
of the local draft boards are re-
porting that when they issue ord-
ers to report for physical exam-
ination, many of the registrants
are coming in with evidence of
marriages that took place “many
months before.”
Gen. Wakefield pointed out that
if these men who have married
had notified local boards immediate*
ly after the marriage took place,
they would never have been sent
an order to repirt for physical ex-
aminations in the first place.
Little Time Available
“We are operating with little
time to get the job done demanded
of us,” the general said. “The local
boards, unless they want to de-
clare such registrants delinquent,
have to turn around and get out
an order to report for physical ex-
examinatlon to the next man in
order of age. All this takes time,
and our local boards have a short |
deadline to meet.”
Selective Service wants to “bq
reasonable about this situation,”
the state director said, “but we
know that the patience of our local
board members are wearing thin.
We just want to point out that it
is not mandatory under the law
that married men be reclassified
into III-A under such circumatqa.
ces.
To Follow Law
“Such men who fail to report
change of Btatus, such as marri-
age, or a change of address legally
are eligible to be declared delin-
quent for failure to comply with
the law. A delinquent can be in-
ducted immediately ahead of all
others under this law, and if w«
are forced to do so in order to
meet our calls, we will comply
with the law to the letter,” Gen.
Wakefield continued.
The state director concluded with
the statement that notifications
concerning marriages, change of
address, and other changes of
status are “the entire responsibili-
ty of the registrant,” and that
notifications of change must bd
sent to local boards in writing over
the signature of the registrant.
“Too much damage already has
been done,” he said, and “the time
is almost past for men to get
things squared with their draft
boards.”
