TIGHTER REGULATIONS
ON DRAFT EXEMPTIONS

Washington - President Roose-
welt revealed that the manpow-
er control system now in formu-
lation will include tighter regula-
lions for exempting necessary war
industry workers from the draft.
In addition, he told press con-
ference that he had ordered the
Army and Navy to refuse enlist
ments and commissions to gov
eminent employees. This action
he said was induced by a rush to
enlist and obtain commissions
following his order that the draft
deferments of government work.
ers be cancelled except in unus-
ual cases.
The president said there were
two schools of thought on wheth-
er a proposed registration of wo-
men for war work would be
worthwhile. Some, he said,
thought great many would reg
lister, while others believed the
number would be very small.

adding that Congress should take

"We have got to have compul-
sorry loans to help finance the
war and to guard against infla-
ton an dthe sooner we get start
ed on the problem, the better,
George told interviewers.
There have been indications
that James F. Byrnes, economic
director, has taken leading part
in attempting to assemble a COM
pulsory savings program which
would have not only the backing
of the Treasury but the federal
reserve, the budget bureau, the
Office of Price Administration

AUTHORIZING LAWS
ARE BEING CONSIDERED

Washington - The office of
price administration is studying
an anti-hoarding regulation for
householders, an official disclos-
ed this week, to curb panic-buy-
i0g of foods and othar commodi-
ties which it has found wide
spread.
"The hysteria seems to be get
ting near the point where we are
forced to consider the rationing
of things that otherwise would
mt have to be rationed," said the
official, who could not be identi-
fled.
He saw an anti-hoarding regu-
lation as the only answer to the
piling up of canned foodstuffs
and other items but observed that
enforcing such a regulation
would be a problem since OPA
has no idea of sending sleuths in
to private kitchens and cellars.
