Scrap Of Nazi Plane
From England Points
To Hitler Shortage
Metal Crafts Teacher
Here Gets Memento
From r. A. F. Officer

Evidence that the German air
force Is suffering from lack Of
duralumin for plane fuselages was
received by Ernest c. Rick, 1885
Massachusetts avenue Sc, metal
crafts teacher at Stuart Junior High
School, and Mrs. Rick in the form
OF q calendar sent them as a New
Year greeting from a friend in the
Royal AIR Force.
The friend is Adjt. Alex Erskine
Of Limekilns, Scotland, a mechani-
cal engineer whom the Kicks met
In Italy in 1888 when they were
vacationing on the continent.
Adjt. ErSkine made the calendar
himself, and at the top of it he at
tached a small panel of plastic,
which he said came from the fuse
lage of a German bomber. Beneath
the plastic he inscribed verse by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and
to it he tied 1912 calendar.
IT am sending you little piece
OF the fuselage of a German bomber
which was shot down near us short
time ago." wrote Adjt. Erskine. 1T
Is bakelite and suggests that Mr..
Hitler must be intent on conserving
his supplies of duralumin.'
The adjutant told of the high
morale of British youth in the
r. A. F. in these words:
I'm busy with a new air-training
corps. I suppose you have seen
some reference to it in your own
press. 1t is a scheme for training
youths before their entry into the
r. A. F., and believe me the youths
Of this country have become really
air minded. I'm adjutant of our
squadron and when you ask any
Of the lads what they wish to train
for it is either pilot observer or,
surprising to relate, air gunner.
THE moral effect of the German
air raids, as you will see. has had
certainly no effect on our youths.
They are all anxious to hit back
and the R. A. F. is the ideal service
for youth"

Medical Students Eligible
For Service Commissions

Local boards have been advised by
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey selec-
tive service director, that third and
fourth-year students in acceptable
medical schools and firSt-year in
terneS may obtain reserve commits
sions in the Army or the Navy and
then complete their medical train
ing, including year of interneship,
before being ordered to active duty.
Gen. Hershey said such medical
students and internes may be de-
ferred by their local boards in class
ia pending receipt Of their COM
missions. However, all who are
eligible for a commission and do
not apply may be considered for
classification in class IA, "if they
are not deferred for other reasons
and are found physically qualified
for general military service"
Third and fourth-year medical
students and internes rejected after
applying for commissions, first and
second-year medical students and
those registrants accepted as medical
students may be deferred in class
liza as long as their school officials
certify they give indication of be-
coming qualified medical practition-
ers. Otherwise, said Gen. Hershey,
no group deferment is permissible
under the law, and each case must
be decided by local board on the
facts concerning the individual reg
istrant involved.
Those students and internes ac-
eepted by the Army are COM
missioned second lieutenants until
graduate ton, when they are promoted
to first heutenants in the Army
Medical Corps Reserve. In the
Navy, they are commissioner ensigns
until graduation and then lieuten-
ants q. g. in the Navy Medical
reserve Corps.
