Heavy surf and rocks kept them

He was not heard from again.
Then the cook said he was going

sank. He carried s163 with him.
"A fellow caught a jelly fish and
ate 1t and he got terribly sick. He

I buried him at sea.
I'VE had a Spanish fellow with us

they were yelling at me because the

threw me line, but l was too weak

and got me.
They cleaned the oil off of me
as best they could and called the
Navy. which sent out boat to pick
me up.

Men Needed for War Jobs
Are Already Being Deferred
SeIective Service Storts ALLEGATIONS
On Small Scale Without Congress Action

Selective service officials believs
that once registrants with depend
ents understood that the job a man
is doing is considered as a basis for
deferment before dependents. they
will try to find place for them
selves in the war effort.
Selective service doesn't want a
man to give up his job when there is
no vacancy for him in the war pro-
duction program or in some activity
contributing to the war effort.
If there is no place for q man in
the war program, he will not find
himself in IA until the reserve of
single men not in essential work is
exhausted. 1t is the men who can
do the work, but either leave their
jobs or refuse to take essential Jobs
that local boards would seriously
consider for Ia classification.
Deferments Temporary.
Officials do feel however, that
training is the bedrock Of the man
power problem. Occupational de-
ferments are only temporary. EN-
ployers are responsible for training
women, men physically unqualified
for combat service and men with de-
pendents not only to replace occu-
pationally deferred men otherwise
qualified for induction but also to
fill the jobs that come with expan-
sion.
If this method fails TO provide
sufficient manpower for war pro-
duction, there are two alternatives
which require congressional action
and would undoubtedly meet with
resistance.
One method would be to put all
men, not specifically excepted into
the Army and then farm them back
to industry This would mean regi-
mentation and cut in pay.
Or. selective service could say
this man is liable for Army service
but We are selecting him TO stay at
his job.
Under the present policy, Selective
Service is counting heavily on the
registrant's impulse to participate
in the war effort by taking the train
ing or seeking an essential job. They
want him to feel that by deferring
him, Selective Service considers he
can serve his country best where
he is.

J. Fred Essary Leaves
Estate Of S90,378

J. Fred Essary, former Washing
ton bureau chief of the Baltimore
Sun, left an estate valued at S90,370
District Court was advised today in
a probate petition.
Mrs. Helen Essary, his widow, ad
vised the court that her husband
left a will dated July 81, 1899, but
said she is advised it is not entitled
to probate inaSmuch as it was signed
by only one witness. Two witnesses
to a will are required in this juris-
diction. The purported will left
his property to members of his
family.
Mr.. Essary, who died here March
II, left $4,000 in bonds and $50, ,00O
in stocks. Among his securities
were $4,000 in United States Saw
ings and Defense bonds. The petit
ton, filed by Attorney Walter M
Bastian, advised the tribunal that
Mr.. Essary possessed no real estate
at the time of his death and that
debts of the estate will total around

Milk Rationed Out.
Kelley told how the II cans of
milk were rationed out one per day;
how the seamen made sail from
the life boat cover. He told how
they were unable to signal passing
ships for aid for fear their flares
would attract enemy subs to the
scene and perhaps cause another
sinking.

him in the boat SO hours before

The next thing he remembered
was the life boat humping against

By MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

While four different schemes for
allocating the Nations man power
for war production are resting on
the Presidents desk. the Selective
Service System, without fanfare or
congressional action, has been pro-
ceeding on a limited scale to allo-
cate men itself through its defer
ment policy. it was indicated today
That selective service, with an eye
to preventing a drain on war pro-
duction labor, has been seriously
considering the ALLEGATION problem
was shown by Brig. Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey in his address opening the
third national lottery of the emer-
gency last week.
On the point of procuring men to
build guns as we'll as to man them,
the selective service director said
that nothing. not even the procure
ment of our armed forces. must in
terfere with the time table of pro-
duction.
How System Works.
Here's how local boards are work.
ing it out:
BY deferment, men are being Sc
lected to stay on jobs that contribute
to the war effort or are essential to
the war production program.
Actually. that constitutes freezing
labor where it is, If it is vital to the
war effort. A farmer, for instance,
may decide there are better jobs for
him in a city. His local board has
the power to put him in l-A-for
immediate induction-if he leaves
his essential farm job, even if he
has dependents.
BY deferment, registrant can be
selected to take another job, one
vital to the war production program.
For instance, man with training
as a toolmaker may be working as
salesman. He is needed in war
production. Knowing that, although
he may have dependents, his local
board has the power to put him in
IA, he will 60 back to toolmaking
Thousands of Letters Received.
At least, that's the theory Of it
and selective service officials be-
lieve men will 60 into war industries,
particularly men with dependents,
because of the thousands of letters
received at national headquarters
from men wanting to know what
they can do in the war effort.

WATCH OUT FOR THEM!

All over the nation, the great army
of school children is going back to the
classroom after the summer vacation
1t is up to every one who drives
any sort of vehicle-street car, bus,
truck, taxi, private automobile, even
one of the horse-drawn sort-to be
constantly on the alert for the young
folks.
Most of them are still of that happy
age when the cares of life don't rest
very heavily on their shoulders and
they don't watch carefully when they
leave curb for the dangerous depths
of mid-street traffic.
So we all have got to watch out
for them.
A few seconds gained by careless
driving aren't worth risking child's
life or limbs.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

AIAZI propaganda in occupied coun-
IN tries usually takes the form that
only a few evil-minded people are
against them, and that the great mass
of people either are or soon will be
entirely converted to Hitlerism and
the New Order or the New Europe.
But in the July 26 issue of the Berlin
paper Voelkischer Beobachter, which
is the very center of the Nazi press,
a Nazi writer admits that they have
met with defeat in Denmark.
The writer doesn't put it that way;
the article entitled Danish Reserva-
tions" admits Danish stupidity rather
than Nazi defeat, but the stupidity
pointed out is the general Danish re-
fusal to accept Nazism. There is a
curious new tone in the Berlin papers
description of the reasons for this:
"The Danes admit that cooperation
between the European peoples is as
suming other forms than hitherto, y
but, strangely enough, "this fills the
Danes with a sense of insecurity. The
politicians as well as the man in the
street both say: We know what we've
got but not what we're going to get
They think of the decennials of pros
perity which they won through indus
try and honest work; they think OF
the benefits of civilization, and they
think most especially of the liberty
they value above all else; liberty such
as it happens to be understood ir
Denmark.
Every Dane wants to think, to be.
lieve, to speak and to act just as il
pleases him, and Danish political lead
ers have succeeded in firmly anchor
ing the beliefs in these values"
What a horrible place Denmark
must be! Yet, in this summing-up
isn't there a hidden sign somewhere
