Signing Of Pact Is Hailed
By Killers Newspaper
IA thf Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 1-Fuehrer Hit
ler's own newspaper, Voelkischer
Beobachter, listed the axis pact
signing by Bulgaria today as among
the "bloodless victories of Adolf
Hitler"
From the military standpoint, it
added, it would have been easy to
carry the swastika to the boundaries
of Europe. But it viewed that as
belonging to the periods of Alexan-
der, Napoleon and the World War
and said it would have caused suf-
fering, destruction and distress.
Those who do not join the pact,
change the outcome of the historic
struggle-although tomorrow they
can take serious blame for length
ening the war and therefore were
allies of Roosevelt"
Reichs Marshal Hermann Will
helm Goering's National Zeitung of
Essen said "the only reason cannon
are booming today in a small part
of the Balkan Peninsula, Greece, is
because they Cthe Greeks) gave ear
10 false friends"

that is, q separate body formed
within a parish, or religious So
ciety, whose rights are well known
and established by law.
I'VE conclude that chapel con-
nected with religious society, such
as the Discalced Carmelite Fathers
of Washington, is not a church
within a meaning of our exemp-
ton statute"
Four Other Cases Listed.
The four other cases in which
the board and the Commissioners
disapproved tax exemption for at
least part of the properties involved
were described as follows:
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, for property at 1728-1736 G
street NV, all of which was found
to be properly taxed except for that
portion of the property used for
cigar store, cafeteria and jewelry
store on concession bases. Acting
on the boards recommendations, the
city heads have directed that an
assessment be made for taxation of
such portions OF the property.
The Church of the Covenant,
southwest corner of Connecticut
avenue, Eighteenth and N streets
NV. All of this property was
found to be properly tax exempt,
with the exception of five rooms
and bath located on the third floor,
used by the sexton Of the church,
and the assessors were asked to ap-
praise this portion for taxation.
Other Churches Affected.
The Russian Orthodox Church of
st. Nicholas of Washington, for
property at 1853 Church street NV.
The second floor has two rooms
and bath which are rented to a
secretary at $50 a month and the

Gen. Hershey Warns
Draft Boards Against
Depicting Industry
SeIective Service Chief
Cites Growing Shortage
OF Skilled Workers ,

Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
deputy director of selective service,
last night warned the Nations draft
boards against draining national
defense industries of skilled work.
ers by too rigid an Interpretation
of the occupational deferment
clause in the selective service regu-
lations.
In a prepared statement, Gen.
Hershey called attention to grow
ing shortage of skilled workers for
rapidly expanding and vital de-
fense industries" and urged the
boards to guard against increasing
this shortage.
There is a dual responsibility
imposed upon local boards" Gen.
Hershey said. "They not only must
select those who are needed by the
armed forces, but also must defer
those who are necessary in produc-
ton Of defense materials. They
must take fully into consideration
the entire defense picture in max
ing that selection or deferment."
Each Case on Merits.
He also warned that each claim
for occupational deferment was to
be decided on its individual merit
and that the statutory prohibition
against group occupational defer
ments is clear and strong"
Gen Hershey made note OF the
vast industrial training program
set up by the Office of Production
Management to check growing
shortages of skilled workers in de-
fense industries. "Selective service,
in order to fill its quotas for the
armed forces, need not unneces-
sarily increase these shortages or
otherwise impede the national de-
fense,' he added.
Three Results Wanted.
Selective service regulations re-
garding occupational deferments
were written, Gen. Hershey said,
to guide boards to three results:
/. To prevent unnecessary aggra-
vation of existing shortages OF nee
essary workers in defense activities
by broad and intelligent understand
ing of the magnitude OF the Ma
tons program for defense produc-
ton.
2. To protect the national indus
trial training program from unnec-
essary interruptions through defer
ment of individuals when evidence
shows that they are in training or
preparation" for an occupation or
employment found to be necessary
to the maintenance of the national
health, safety or interest.
8. To anticipate possible exhauS-
ton of pools of highly skilled work.
ers not now employed in defense
activities, but probably necessary in
the near future for the expansion
of defense production, when such
men "but for a seasonable or
temporary interruption would be
engaged in such activity"
