Elmer Reed In
New lob As Chief
Probation Officer
FORT WORTH — John Alder-
man, one of Fort Worth's best-
liked,^public office holders, Friday
began his first "vacation" in 20
years as Elmer Reed of Lubbock,
his successor as chief federal pro-
bation officer of the Northern
District of Tejfcas, started his first
full day in the office here.
"I'm going to catch up on a lot
of things," Alderman promised
Thursday afternoon as he said
goodby to the "most loyal bunch
I've ever worked around.""'* ~
"I hope to carry on the -fine
work of Mr. Alderman and keep
this—office in the fine shape it is
in now," Reed declared as he
greeted fellow workers in the of-
fice.
Alderman, who has held an im-
pressive string of public offices
since 1907, took over the federal
job in 1930 and hasn't taken a va-
cation since.
Reed, a sheriff at the age of 22,
has been in law enforcement work
all his adult life.
There's more inspiration to him
in probation work and helping an
offender to a new start than "in
sending a man to jail," though.
The 46-year-old chief was born
at Bridgeport but moved with, his
family to Crosbyton in 1917. (He
is the son of Rev. H. M. Reed of
this city.) He served as deputy
sheriff in Crosby county two years
and at the age of 22 was elected
sheriff, a post he held 6 years.
Reed was a U. S. deputy mar-
shal on the staff of U. S. Marshal
J. R. (Red) Wright for two years,
serving at Lubbock, befope taking
a job as a federal probation offi-
cer there on Alderman's recom-
mendation. He has served in that
capacity 13 years.
Fort Worth will remain head-
quarters for the probation office,
which functions in the 100 coun-
ties of the Northern District of
Texas, Reed announced imme-
diately on arrival here. His home,
though, will remain at least for a
while in Lubbock.
Mrs. Reed and theja^U-year-old
daughter, Beth, live there. His.son,
Elmer Jr., 22, a postal employee,
also resides in Lubbock.

Johnie W. Moore, grandson of
Mr. Henry Moore, who enlisted in
1948, is now in Korea. He is
gunner in a jet plane. His parents
live in California.

Answers Draft
Board Officials
Two of the most prevalent ques-
tions which men are asking state
draft boards now are: "When will
I bave to take my physical "ex-
am?" and "When will I be draft-
ed?"
"These are two questions which
local boards cannot answer," Bri-
gadier General Paul L. Wakefield,
state Selective Service director,
said in commenting on queries
.which are coming in to the draft
boards.
"These two questions can't be
answered," he said, "because
there are too many intangible fac-
tors involved."
General Wakefield" listed some
of the reasons- why local boards
can't answer these questions:
1. Local boards do not kno\y
whether calls will be for an in-
creased number of men or not.
2. Local boards cannot tell how
many of their registrants will be
found acceptable for military ser-
vice or how many will be rejected.
3. Local boards cannot tell whe-
ther the world situation will im-
prove or get worse.
4. Local boards cannot tell how
many men will enlist for service
in the armed forces nbw and in
the future. .
"All these things have a bear-
ing on the numbers which will be
called for physical' " examination
The Crosbyton Review
and induction," Gen. Wakefield
said. "Therefore, the local boards
cannot say with any degree of cer-
tainty when a man's number will
be reached in the Selective Ser-
vice process."
The state director urged men-
Pages
not to ask these two questions. At
the same time he called upon re-
gistrants to be alert and advise of
changes of address and status.
