The agreement set up a Dutch
merchant postwar reserve fund

GERS and seamens' unions, and
shortened working hours.
Among union demands still to
be ironed out were wage in
creases jumping by so per cent

Draft Deferment
Slash Indicated

LANSING, Aug. 81 - (P) -
Selective Service spokesman to-
day described plans ultimately
to cut in half the number of
draft registrants given occupa-
tional deferments from armed
duty.
Slightly more than four per
cent Of all classified registrants
have been excused on grounds
they are employed in essential
jobs from which they can not be
spared, they said.
1t was explained that in the
DRY the purpose of an occupa-
tional deferment is to allow six
months for the training of some
one else to take the registrant S
place, although in many in
stances it has not worked out
this way and the deferments
have been renewed when they
expired.
Expanding industries have
reported that by the time they
ira ID requirements, their
plants had grown to such ex-
tent that both the originally dc
ferred man and his replace
ment'' were needed, and both
we're deferred, high official
said. But this will level off and
we will have not moro than two
per cent deferred for that rea-
son"
He explained the Selective
Service system is working to-
ward the day when an employee
skilled in just one operation will
not be allowed renewal of de-
ferment.

The council, meeting at East
Lansing yesterday, authorized 1t.
Col. Harold A. Furlong, state
defense administrator, to APP
point a committee to initiate the
program which would be under
direct supervision of county and
local defense councils.
Don c. Weeks, state director
OF the Civilian War Service Di-
vision, said the program would
be modelled after local afraid
warden organizations, setting up
neighborhood units of approx
mately SO families.
Under an electe leader,
Weeks explained, the neighbor-
hood club would be a standing
organization for such projects as
speedy distribution of Civilian
Defense information; effective
prosecution of all Office of Civil
ian Defense and governmental
programs, including scrap, fat,
and rubber drives; and promo
ton of "high standards of mo-
rale" by clarifying national,
state and local war efforts and
promoting a cooperative spirit
in such plans as share-the-ride,
neighborhood meetings and rail-
lies.
Council members predicted
the program would involve Wig
orous organization drives bi!t
said the effort would be re-
warded by a lively in teres t
among average citizens in the
war effort.
Preliminary organization of
neighborhod clubs, Weeks ex-
planned, would require appoint
ment by local defense councils
of chairmen, who in turn would
name temporary directors for
each geographical post subdivi-
sion of the air raid warden serv-
ice. The latter, he said, would
divide his area into small units
each of which would elect
leader who would be personally
responsible for the complete CO.
operation of his neighborhood in
defense projects.

why the inquiries were made.
The same information has
been asked of the Army, but It
has not yet reported, although
last week, responding to an
amendment TO the Army-Navy
Adjustment act sponsored by
Rep. Faddis (D-PA), the War
Department reported 1887 CT
villains with no previous officer
experience were granted Army
commissions during the 60 days
beginning June /. A similar re-
port furnished by the Navy has
not been made public.
Faddis had contended that
Army commissions were being
granted promiscuously and TO
undeserving persons. War Sc
cretary Stimson called attention
that SO per cent of the 1867 ei-
william commissions were to the
Medical corps and many others
were to posts not requiring mill
tary training.
The McNary request brought
the information from the Navy
that of the 55,668 commissions
in the Naval Reserve since Sept.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 - A
letter came into the Marine
Corps Institute here the other
day. 1t was post-marked Mid
way Island. The letter said:
Due to present circumstance

my monthly quota. However, /
will try to have another lesson
ready real soon.
Another letter, this time from
Pearl Harbor: in the raid of
Dec. 7 | lost my complete course

COURSES ARE FREE
TO ALL MARINES
Wars come and go, but they
don't interrupt the Marine Corps
Correspondence School. Today
5000 Marines, scattered all over
the globe, mail regular assign

times, in a lull of gunfire, won
der what they made on that en-
cheering exam.
The school, under the super
vision of Col. John Potts and
administered by Master Techni-
cal Sergt d. M. Hyde, was the
first service correspondence
school. 1t operates in conjunc-
ton with the international Cor
respondence School and has
been going Ance 1921. Courses
are free to all Marines.
Time was when Marines could
study architecture, agriculture
and poultry-keeping by mail,
but the courses were abolished
when war began 70 breathe on
the nations neck. Now the men
study courses more closely al
lied to war and their profession
al betterment.
Aviation, ranging from me-
chanics to engineering, is the
most popular single subject.
Radio is next, Spanish follows,
and practical telephony is
fourth. All are outweighed by
mass preparation for commits
sions, and by general high
school subjects. The Marine
school cooperates with high
schools on final award of diplo-
mas. after a student has finish
ed his prescribed courses. And
many Marine officer of today
came up from the ranks a-riding
on one of Sergt. Hyde's prep
courses.
The school offers an amazing
array of technical subjects. Ra-
dio, civil engineering rcfrigera-
ton, machine shop and factory
engineering, accountancy, auto
and marine engineering, and
languages are covered fully, in
addition to the ones already
mentioned. Enrolment h S

cut in half, but it still takes 60
men to handle the flood of COM
pleted lessons that rolls in every
month.
According to Sgt. Hyde, the
quality of both teacher and pu-
pill has improved since war be-
gan. They seem to be a lot bet
ter educated now he says.
There are less men interested
in high school completion cours-
es, and more in advanced stuff.
The instructors are of higher
caliber for the same reason"
The instructors are all enlist
ed Marines. They get no more
compensation for their work
than they get in regular-line
joL5. The school recruits it's own
teachers from the reception CEN
ter at Paris Island.
Also improved by the war has
been the staff of The Leather
neck, the monthly magazine that
is put out under the wing of the
Institute. It's editor, Lieut.. Wal
ter Hitesman, is former Baton
Rouge, La, reporter and he
has a staff of II.
The Leatherneck has circu-
lation of $4,000. It's printed on
slick paper, and its advertising
is handled by New York bu-
reaus. Subscription is $3.50 a
year, and there's plenty of sur
plus in the stronghold against
future rainy day.
CASUALTIES CUT
INTO THE CLASSES
Just after Pearl Harbor, The
Leatherneck got busy on an
amazingly detailed series, pro-
fusely illustrated, on Axis mill
tary rank, Technology, insignia,
and uniform-a series so good
that other branches of the arm
ed forces are having it reproduc-
ed in pamphlet form for general
distribution. 1t was a reporting
jo>. that kept Lieut.. Hitesman' S
slim staff burrowing into en-
bassies and the Library of Con-
gress until they nearly dropped.
But getting back to the cor
respondence school-war has in
troduced one grim method of
cutting classes. Lately many en-

As teeming with action and ex- citement as the story on todey's front page, Burma Convoy" opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre on a double bill.
 Indeeds this is a story ripped from the headlines, for it is the drama behind the drama of the Burma Road, the 750-mile rock hewn path between Rangoon and Shanghai providing lifeline to the beleaguered Chinese Army. And it is a story told with full force and fury. It doesn't pull any punches.

 Aside from an interesting plot, the picture is embellished with an abundance of good music.
