and whether a program was possible
by which all capable men could be
transferred to combat service and be
replaced by 4-F's, or limited service
men or women.
The committee made these general
observations on the deferment prob
lem:
Civil service descriptions of Jobs
are likely to mislead local boards as
to the actual duties of the man for
whom deferment is sought.
Should Check Claims.
Lack of evidence of real effort on
the part of Government agencies to
secure requirements for draft-age
men should be the basis of denial
OF renewed deferments.
Claims of other Federal agencies
that they are doing work for the
War and Navy Departments should
be checked and these activities
should not absorb vulnerable per-
sons of military age
Recent graduates of colleges and
youths with short training should nc
longer be given the protection OF
deferred classihcations and defer
ments should cease to be a precedent
FOR further deferment.
On the score of Government en-
ployes of draft age abroad the COM
mittee said that the lack of ship
ping and .he lack Of available routes
in the past as we'll as the lack OF
armed forces abroad made induction
impracticable, but that this is nc
longer the case"

be the forerunner of raids far deeper
into Europe by these fast twin
engined medium bombers.
They were escorted for the first
time by powerful long-range Thun-
derbolts, twin-engined Lightnings
and Allied Spitfires. The Marauders
were credited with downing three
enemy planes and the Spitfires
seven. One Spitfire was lost.
Heretofore the Thunderbolts have
been giving protection only to Fly

through Nazi fighter zones. For the
Lightnings, which played a sensa-
tlonal role in the North African
campaign, it was the first officially
announced operation over the con-
tinent since brief tryouts last year.
While the Marauders have a stated
range of 2,400 miles, they never have
gone more than 500 miles and re-
turn in this theater Their runs. it
was figured, were held to short stabs
largely because of the short range

the new method of tightening up on

ment rights.
Committee Conclusions.
The committee said it had arrived
at the following tentative conclu-
Sions:
l. In more than so of the 70
Federal agencies, there is no real
problem Of occupational deferment
2. The occupational deferment
problem is confined mainly to the
War and Navy Departments because
Of the number of male civilians of
draft age in those departments, be-
cause of the lack of knowledge of
the facts, because of the use of re-
placement schedules, because of
their responsibility for the success
full conduct of the war and because
of the problem of central admin
strative control
3. A special review should be made
of Occupational defermentS in the
Commerce Department. War Ship
ping Administration. Maritime Com
mission, Interior Department. Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation and
Bureau of Naturalization and Immi-
grafton
4. Government employees abroad
present a real opportunity now to
apply the principles Of the Selec-
tive Service System and have these
persons perform the military obh-
cations of citizenship"
5. The number of governmental
employees in Al indicates that a
considerable number might be SAL
vaged.
Many Draft-Age Employees.
The committee said that if the
figures of the War Manpower Com
mission review committee are "rea-
sonably accurate" there are four
times as many male civilian en-
ployes between the ages of 18 and
81 in the War and Navy Depart
ments as in the rest of the execu-
tive branch, excluding the Post Of
flee Department.
The committee said there were
13l 002 male civilian workers of
draft age in the executive branch,
excluding the Post Office and War
and Navy Departments. The Navy
Department has 216,282 draft-age
men and the War Department has
373,876, AS Of September Is, the
committee reported.
The group also suggested further
study of the 4F problem with view
to seeing whether the jobs performed
by men in uniform on the home
front could be performed by 4-Fs.
The committee also suggested studies
to find out if there are any legisla-
tive limita tions which discourage the

lease rule on arrival at terminals;
time and a half for yard servicemen
on the second shift of two shifts
within a 24-hour period, and finally
pay for initial and final terminal

Time Waste Charged.
I'VE are calling attention" Mr
Whitney said. TO the fact that man
agement is privileged by certain
archaic rules to use great deal of
employees time without paying for
it-unprofitably either to the war
effort or to the men.
IF the carriers are required to pay
for the time they waste think there
will be a tendency in the executive
Offices to waste less manpoWer.'
