Draft Deierment Asked
For Medical Students
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. Feb. 15.-A joint con-
ference of ranking medical COM
mittees today urged Clarence A.
Dykstra, director of Selective Serv-
ice, to recommend deferment "for
students in good standing in ap-
proved medical schools" until they
have obtained their degrees.
A resolution to that effect was
telegraphed to DR.. Dykstra after
its adoption at a joint meeting of
various committees representing the
American Medical Association and
the Federal co-ordinator for health
and welfare.
Since the five-year preparedness
program of the Government will re-
quire about $500 medical graduates
annually to enter the service of the
Army, Navy and Public Health Serv-
ice for years training, the educa-
ton of physicians must be continued
at the present level and without
interruption" the resolution said,
adding:
In order to provide a continuing
supply of qualified medical students
for the medical schools of this coun-
try, we urge also that students who
have been accepted for admission
to approved medical schools in q
period not to exceed II months pre-
ceding enrolment be granted defer
ment of military training in order
that they may complete the re-
quirements for admission to medical
schools"

the program to decentralize war
industries"
Such decentralization, the execu-
tive declared, would aid in "elim-
mating the bottleneck of the present
industrial areas and in placing these
industries in areas less subject to
attack and more easy of defense" "
So-called concentration" of in
dustry in the development of the
Nations rearmament program was
"deplored" in a resolution adopted
by the conference last September.
The subject is expected to receive
further consideration at New Or
leans meeting March 15-l7.
Despite the position taken by the
conference regarding this phase OF
preparedness activity, Gov. Dixon
cited as proof we are behind the
National Government in its pre-
paredness efforts" the fact that eight
Southern Governors recently signed
statement backing pending Brit
ish-aid legislation.
Petition Filed in 1851.
Organized originally as the South
eastern Governors Conference, the
groups first move was to employ
expert counsel and file petition
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission in 1887, seeking rail
rates on c1S1modities moving from
the South to the North and East on
a parity with rates between points
in Northern territory.
They won a substantial victory.
Under an l. C. G. decision of No
vember % 1889, inter-territorlal
rates on a large group of heavy
commodities, such as building stone,
stoves and house furnaces, were re-
duced

New Maryland Law
Will End Back Door
Income Tax Figuring
Change in Exemptions
To Tighten Burden on
Small Earnings
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 15.-Maryland's
new income tax law not only will
reduce the levy on earned income
by 20 per cent, but will eliminate ar
unusual back door" approach to
figuring exemptions.
It's the latter change in eXemp-
tions that will accomplish a prin-
cipal objective of the law-to tighten
the tax burden on persons with small
unearned income, and little or nc
earned income.
Gov. O'Conor is expected to sign
the bill next week. The deadllne
for payment is moved from March
Is to April Is this year, with provi-
sion for four quarterly payments OF
the tax If desired.
Maryland taxpayers now will
count their exemptions just as they
do under the Federal income tax
This changes an unusual procedure
that went like this:
First the tax was estimated on
the whole lncome-siX per cent OF
the unearned income and 2l2 per
cent of earned income.
Then the exemptions and deduc-
tions were added together, and 2la
per cent of this sum was deducted
from the gross tax to arrive at
the net tax due.
Deduct Exemptions First.
Under the new law, taxpayers will
deduct exemptions and deductions
from gross income before figuring
the tax in one operation.
Here are examples, outlined by
the State controllers office, which
any individual can use-by substi-
tuting his own income and deduc-
ton fgures-to learn his tax due.
The State allows $4,000 deduction
for man and wife, S400 deduction
child, $1,000 exemption for a single
individual, and various taxes and
charitable gifts.

Due to the heavy increase in business of the Kodiak Publish ing Co.,, announcement is made by the publisher, Gene Dawson. that William H. Lamme, known to his many friends as Bill' has taken over the editorial respon sibility of the Mirror.
 A graduate of University of Oregon in journalism, Bill re- gently severed his employment in the auditing department of the resident officers office of the naval air station here. He will bring many new ideas to our well-circulated weekly, and will attack the tenacles of oblivion, decrepidity and age, with a vigor far surpassing the ability of the present editor, who will still man age the business.
 The retiring editor only hopes that the residents of Kodiak, both business and in private life will give Bill the same spontan- eous, generous and whole-hearted support which they have given the incumbent.
