Defer1nents Go
To 20 Per Cent
OF Registrars

Neutrality-suspicious. 70 per cent
of all selective service registrants
classified so far have been deferr-
ed, Brig. Genl. Lewis B. Hershey
reported today, but that percent
age is expected to drop sharply as
a result of the army's recent re-
taxation of standards for teeth
and eyesight.
The selective service director
however, made plain that the sup
ply of essential civilian workers
such as farm laborers, should not
be depleated by the draft. Cues
toned by the House agriculture
committee in study of a threat
ened farm labor shortage, he said
that many farm boys were reluc-
tant to seek deferment lest they
be thought unpatriotic.
zone of the hardest men you
have to convince that he is spe-
cialist is the farmer" Hershey de-
clared. Farmers are patriotic.
They don't try to get exemptions. "
He added that the problem was
one for local draft boards to ham
die and suggested that the agri-
culture members be more active
in opposing Al classifications for
essential farm workers.
Rep. Flannaghan, Democrat of
Virginia, told Hershey that the
country "is getting fed up on sug-
gestions" and would appreciate it
if you would assert your authority
and tell some of the draft boards
where to head in"
Rep. Gilchrist, Republican of
Iowa reported that he had receiv-
ed proposals that uniforms be sup
piled to boys deferred as farm
workers $50 the people will know
they are working for the country"
Rep. Crel, Democrat of Ken
lucky, warned that the food pro-
duction program would bog down
next year unless something is
done to assure an adequate labor
supply and said he knew of no
exemption granted in his district
to keep workers on the farms.
Hershey said he was striving to
educate local boards to the neces-
sity of refraining from exhaust
ing their farm labor rolls. At the
same time he said that many

ton fare in for a rude awaken

and the third quarter, 81 to 10,
with West Jefferson leading. In
all during the game the score was
tied z times.
All 10 players played brilliant
basketball. Gentry Pennington,
Nathan's Creek center, was per-
haps the most outstanding both
on the offensive and defense. He
led the scoring attack with 10
points. r. c. Miller was high
scorer for West Jefferson, getting
8 points. Tam Mcmillan, Sanders
and Woodruff also hit the basket
at regular intervals.
Wade Eller, Jr., was the score
keeper and Gale Lemly timekeep-
err for the finals.
In spite of bad weather, the
Riverview gym was packed each
night and the tournament was
said to be one of the best and
most successful ever held in the
county.
After the final games, Prof.
Wade Eller thanked the schools
and spectators for fine co-opera-
ton and DR.. Abrams, of A.S.T.C.,
representing President E. E. Gar
bee, of the Association who was
unable to attend, congratulated
the Ashe county teams upon their
good craftsmanship and athletic
achievements. Ed M. Anderson
commended the set-up of the APP
palachian High School association
and urged it's continuance.
DR.. Abrams also announced the
all-tournament players and stated
Z! that gold charms would be pre-
sented to them. Making these
teams were: girls-Cox, Healing
Sprin S, M. Austin, Jefferson,
Nina Hartsog, Fleetwood, Evon
Dickson, Healing Springs, N.
Phipps, Nathan's Creek and Mona
Sheets, Fleetwood. The boys all

Nathan's Greek, Miller, West JEFF
ferson and Pennington, Nathan's

to Absher and Sanders, Of Nath-
| ans Creek.
The highlight of the final girls
game was the brilliant shooting of
Shirley Cox, captain of the Heal
ing Springs undefeated lasses.
She scored % of her teams 28
points and her record for the sea-
son is exceptional.

the Healing Springs girls last
Saturday night won the Ashe
county high school basketball
tournament and will meet the
winners of the Watauga-Avery
division tonight in Boone for the
championship of the Appalachian

,quint. Both Ashe county teams
are favored to win.
In keeping with predictions, the
andefeated Healing Springs lasses
Gid not encounter much difficulty
IN winning the Ashe tourney.
They won by forfeit over VIC;
defeated Lansing rs to 6; Nathan'S
Greek, % to II and won in finals
over Fleetwood, % to 8. The
Fleetwood team on Friday night
wun an upset victory over Jeffer-

After licking Riverview 80 to
u and Fleetwood q to 18, the
Nathan's Greek boys met their old
rival, West Jefferson, in the finals.
These two teams were tied for
regular season honors and this
final battle was one of the most
thrilling court fights that has
been seen in Ashe county in many
years
Having triumphed over VIC by
forfeit, Healing Springs and JEFF
ferson, the West Jefferson five
were apparently geared up to win
the tournament. During the first
: three quarters they really played
an inspired championship win

Of the first quarter the score was

Allied Air Squadrons Are Ruling Skies North of

JAP BASES IN NEW
 GUINEA ALL ABLAZE
Allied Planes Dropping Bombs From 10000 Feet
 Are Crushing Japs
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign Editor

Allied air squadrons ruling the air north of Australia raided Japanese bases again today in the New Guinea Port of Lac and the Koepang air. drome on Timor Island, The offensive blows, led by Amer ican flying fortresses, fol- lowed a statement by Colonel Eugene L. Eubank, American air commander in Java, that his forces had knocked out 10 Japanese warships 48 transports and 50 air- planes up to March l,
 Since then the American and Australian pilots were credited with sinking about 29 enemy ships, ln. cluding at least IA warshlps in the islands north of Australia Some Of these may duplicate Eubank's fig ufes but in any event the total is high,
 Counting the enemy ships knocked out in the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies as well as those reported hit or sunk around New Guinea and New Britain Islands the total number of ,eIienly casual ties would be approximately 90 wnr- ships and 60 transports in addition 10 probably 200 airplanes. Not all Of the Japancse craft were sunk, however, and some may have been attached more than once,
 Today's raids against KoepnnR and Loe were destructive, Australian communiques said, At least si% enemy aifplanes were believed dee stroycd on the ground at koepang, while at Lac the Japanese air. trome was hard hit and set aiire
