Chrlla G. Bird Quitr Drcft Board and Ca*igatcr Adminirtration

Charles G. Bird, retired lumberman and prominent alxl popular citizen of Stockton, California, has been a member and chairman of the Selective Service (draft) Board No. 32 in his home town since 1940. When the news got out the other day that he had written Lewis B. Hershey, Director of the U.S. Selective Service System, resigning his conncction with the Board, his friends in Stockton were curiotts to know why. So he showed them copy of his letter of resignation, which w:ls so hot that it fairly sizzled the paper it was typed on. Soon the Stockton Record had pul>lished the story, then the San Francisco Examiner ran it, and it went out over the radio in all directions. Mr. Bird's excoriation of the Administration at Washington was what made it hot copy.

In his letter, Mr. Ilird called attention to the fact that he lrad gladly and willingly been on catl night and day for eleven years as an uncompensated member of his draft board, but the time had come when l-re must resign, "feeling as I do," he said, "about the manner in which our political and military matters are being handled by, in my opinion, the most incompetent administration this country has ever suffered und-.r."

Then he proceeded to dctail his grievances against the powers in Washington. He objected to our contributing money and materials to the British Empire and other nations who have been shipping goods to our enemies to help kill off our boys. He criticized the United Nations for failing to carry their fair share of the load of the Korean War. He criticized the conduct of the Korean War, and ttre refusal of thc Governtnent to accept sound advice aiming at the winning of that rvar. He criticized the Administration because "higher-ups and their stooges" apPear to defend traitors and perjurers of the Hiss type' And he concluded:

"I can rro longer have any part in sending any more of the creanl of our youth to any foreign land to be slaughtered as sacrifices to the arnbition of unprincipled politicians or their adherents. I therefore submit my resigrratiort."

It is conrpetently reportcd that a storm of congratulations that lasted for many days, came to Mr. Bird when the fitcts concerning his resignation became knorvn.

Uncthicd Prrcticc3 Hit Bv FHA Dirtdct Dircctor

I)roperty owners who contemplate repairing, remodeling, modernizing or installing eligible equipment, again rvere warned against racketeering contractors by John Ii. Mc Govern, FHA District Director.

He pointed out that if financing is needed, loans for such purposes are available under the FHA property improvement plan. Also, he said, there are many reliable dealers. co.ntractors and suppliers rvho do satisfactory u'ork :tt a fair price.

"IJnfortunately, there are a ferv unreliable and unscrttpulous operators," Mr. Mc Govern said. These unethical dealers make various approaches. They make over-statements as to the merits of the product and stipulatc guilr:ttltees beyond those of the manufacturer.

"They also promise cash bonttses on repeat sales irt the neighborhood, stating that your house rvill be used as a model and that your payments will be macle from these cash bonuses."

Other examples of deliberate deception cited by NIr. I\Ic Govern, involve such practices as inducing a prospect to sign a blank credit application and in obtaining the borrower's signature on a completion certificate before the work is actually completed.

"It is against such dealers and practices that FHA desires to caution borrowers," he said.
