Maryland IA Draft
Supply Exhaustion
Seen in September
Col. Stonwood Expects
Call Eventually to Men
Married Before War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md, June 27.-Col
Henry c. Stanwood, State director
of selective service, predicted today
that Maryland's supply of la men
would be exhausted in September.
Col. Stanwood said, however, that
he could not estimate when the
Maryland draft boards would induct
men married before December 8,
1941. He said men married since
that date or married to avoid in
duction were being inducted steadily.
Face Call Eventually.
He added that he wanted to en-
phasize that the regrouping of ga
men into categories ordered by Con-
gresS did not mean that married
men would never be called. He said
it just put the married men near
the bottom of the list but that tney
might be called eventually and
should plan their affairs accord
ingly.
When the pool of Ia was ex-
hausted, he continued, the boards
would then call upon men deferred
because of financial dependents
other than a wife or children. They
are in the second category on the
congressional listing.
Col. Stanwood said draft boards
had been instructed to sort their
registrants into the new groupings
at once. Until this was completed,
he added, he would not know when
the first group of men married be-
fore Pearl Harbor would get military
calls.
Worker Deferments.
The expected completion Of IA
lists, he continued, would not affect
occupational deferments granted de-
fense workers.
Those deferments were granted
for a specific time" he explained.
when the deferment was granted,
it was an assurance to the employer
that he could count on the mans
services for a certain period Of time.
We won't 90 back on that contract"
He said that even though local
boards were forced to dip into de-
ferred ranks by September, it would
not mean the end Of deferment
extensions.
Col. Stanwood said employers
would be required to show that no
replacement for the deferred man
was available. Then he would ask
for and probably get an extension"
he said.

Final Banquet Tonight.
Pension Law Urged.

The association unanimously ap-
proved and recommended passage of
a law which would give retired cir
cult and supreme bench judges a
maximum pension of $500 year
and Court of Appeals judges $500
a year.
The association. in adopting Judge
Bonds report, also advocated re-
lection of the proposed amendment
giving more authority to the Juve-
nile Court and accepted recon-
mendation that Baltimore City
Courts be consolidated and the
number OF jurists be reduced by at
least one.
The plan for a five-judge Court of
Appeals, with the jurists devoting
their entire time to appellate work,
cannot be put into effect until ap-
proved by the Maryland Legislature
and ratified by the voters. The
change requires a constitutional
amendment.

Army Bombers Hammer
Jops at Kisko and Mundo
BY the Associated Press
Army bombers smashed japanese
base installations at both ends of
the Pacific Ocean Thursday and Fri
day, the Navy reported yesterday,
with heavy explosions and fires on
the island of Kiska in the Aleutians
the result of one of the raids.
The attack against Kiska, one OF
two isands in the Aleutians chain
occupied by the enemy, was made
Thursday yb Army Liberator bomb
ers. The raid was the first since
December II, so far as was known
here.
Heavy explosions and fires were
Observed a Navy communique said.
Munda Area Attacked.
About the same time, but on Fri
day due to time differentials, Army
Flying Fortresses, accompanied by
fighter planes, made two attacks
against enemy installations in the
Munda area of New Georgia Island
in the Solomons. Results were not
reported.
This was the ninth day of Amer
lean attacks on Munda, site of an
enemy airfield which, so far as is
known, was first hit at about the
time it was ready for the beginning
of large-scale operations. This field
is only $50 miles from the American
position on Guadalcanal and would
be of considerable value to the
japanese both in bombing the
American field and in supplying in
terceptor planes to ward off Amer
ican bombing attacks from Guadal-
canal against japanese bases in the
Northern Solomons.
It is believed here that the Japa-
nese have used their Munda base
only once or twice for aerial opera
tions. They intercepted a group OF
American planes attacking ships
near Shorthand Island when the
Japs lost five Zero fighters and no
American planes were damaged
More recently, on December is, the
Japs sent up a flight of IL Zeros to
ward off Flying Fortress raid and
three Of those fighter planes were
shot down. One Fortress was lost,
but the crew was rescued.
Since the base has been under
almost constant attack since De-
cember 8, it appears that the Japa-
nese have not been successful in
using it on other than a temporary
basis.

LANSING, May 5-tP)-The
State Rationing Administration
reported today il discovered
those tales of houSeho,ders with
q ton of boarded sugar in their
Easements weren't just tax.
A spokesman reported small
flood of panicky queries,
"Whatll | do" from persons with
large amounts of boarded sugar
who must register for rationing
at local school houses this week
through Thursday.
The Administration has a So
luton for them.
IF people want to-" the
spokesman said, they can get
rid of surplus sugar before
Thursday under a new ruling
just issued. They must go to
their county rationing boards
and obtain a new form which
permits them TO SCI their sur
plus back to a grocer"
The administration said il
actually had a request for SYM
pathetic assistance from a house
holder with a ton of sugar in his
basement. The householder in
sisted, it was said, he had plan
ned to go into business and need
ed the stock for his operations.
Now, however, he has not
started his business, is reluctant
to declare the size of his surplus
because it would look funny"
The householder was advised 10
take his courage in his hands
and register as consumer, list
ing his stock openly. Then, he
was told to sell il back to the
nearest willing grocer.
Grocers who repurchase sugar
from persons attempting speedy
"un-hoarding" must report to
their county rationing boards
that they have entered into such
a transaction, the Administration
reported, because grocery stocks
must come from known sources.
1--WE have had large number
of persons who report they have
