Aerial Ambu|ances
And HearsesProp
AT CAB Hearings

The Civil Aeronautics Board
which has been holding hearings on
plane feeder lines and pickup serv-
ice, has before it today applications
for novel air services-helicopte
hospital service for expectant moth
ers. and flying hearseS for aerial fu-
neral professions.
An ambulance firm in Texas. with
an eve to postwar business. wants
to set up regular helicopter service
to hospitals.
Shannon's of Fort Worth also
proposes to send aerial ambulances
and hearSes anywhere in the coun-
try. sAt funerals, it would take
mourners along, possibly in a pro-
cession of helicopters, and would
maintain its own maintenance and
repair shops.
"A need exists for the institution
OF an air emergency ambulance
and for air funeral service by vir-
tue Of the increased speed, mobility.
comfort and safety afforded by air
travel" said the Shannon appli-
cation.
Yesterday the CAB received
proposal from Brani1 Airways.
Inc, for development Of feeder lines
and pickup service based on inter-
urban trade areas.
Under the Braniff plan. advanced
by Charles Beard. company vice
president, small aircraft, based at
the airports OF main cities through
which trunk airlines now operate,
would travel to towns and villages
throughout the normal trade ter
ritories OF those cities and return
to base at night.
Mr. Beard told the CAB that his
company had made exhaustive sur
veyS, particularly in the Kansas
City Mo- area, and as result
believed that trade area systems
could be established immediately at
a minimum Of Government subsidy.
1t was recommended that separate
corporations could be formed to
own and operate the aircraft. and
that stock in these corporations
could be sold to individuals in the
area giving them a vote in the op-
erations
Mr.. Beard estimated that such
service could be operated for 35 O5
cents passenger mile. with a mail
rate cheaper than that paid for
rural mail service by the Post Office
Department.

By the Associated Press
LONDON. Oct. 6.-Planes from
a United States aircraft carrier
teamed up with units of the Brit
ish home fleet, have struck a
sharp surprise blow at Nazi
supply lines off the coast of Nor
way in defiance of strong Ger
man naval forces reported con-
centrated in that area.
The daring foray, which failed to
draw the Nazi warships from their
hiding places in the Norwegian
flords, was disclosed in an Admiralty
communique which said a number
OF American vessels including all
aircraft carrier, had participated.
The raid was carried out early
Monday in the Bodoe area. north of
the Arctic Circle, the bulletin said.
1t declared only preliminary reports
on the operation had been received
but added:
1T is clear that United States
earrler-borne aircraft obtained hits
with bombs on a number of large
enemy merchant ships, including an
6,O00-ton tanker"
Two Nazi Planes DOwned.

mand of Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser
The Germans apparently showed
no inclination TO oppose the Allied
sally, either by surface craft or by
cir. Two Nazi planeS-a Heinkel
lis and JU- which attempted
to shadow the fleet after the attack
were shot down by American air
men.
Three American planes were
brought down by German anti
aircraft fire, the communioue said.
adding that 1T is possible that
some Of their crews have been cap
tured by the enemy"
The fotilla OF Allied warships
swept close TO the Norwegian shore
in an area in which it is believed
a nurnDer or German naval units
are concentrated, but the Nazi ships
apparently chose to ignore the Allied
dare.
Battle Scene Close to Narvik.
The communique said that the
action took place in Leads" de-
noting the channels between the
mainland Of Norway and the Loften
Islands to the west. The area is
only few hours by sea from
Altenflord near Narvlk, where the
mighty German battleship Tirpitz
is reported to be based.
The British Navy has maintained
constant patrols in the northern
area, sea route to Russia. and has
invited battle from the German

success IN entlcing the Nazis out

Deferments
Continued From First Page.)

deferments as follows: War and
Navy Departments, $4,000; other
groups, $4,000 plus, with married
men slightly outnumbering the sim
gle. In addition, he said, there
we're zoos uniformed personnel
running the War Shipping Ad-
ministration Training Organization
and 14,050 cadets in the Training
Organization schools for service in
the Merchant Marine, who have
been deferred. These, he continued
were not actually part of the
civilian establishment.
Standards Called Strict.
Further, Mr. Roosevelt empha-
sized, the standards of deferment
of Government workers are much
stricter than those governing de-
ferments in private industry" He
explained that occupational defer
ment in the Government must be
requested by the employing agency
and approved by an independent
review board, while on the outside
the individual is free to seek his
own deferment. In the same con-
nection, the President said that an
investigation is under way of some
cases in which the Federal workers
did seek their own deferment be-
fore the review procedure was set
up, and that appropriate action is
being taken" The message pointed
out that deferments usually are
only for limited periods.
More than tWo-thirds of the full
time civilian employees, ,952 TOO
are in the War and Navy Depart
ments. with the greater part actually
engaged in war production, Mr..
Roosevelt said If the work they are
doing was being performed in pri-
vate industry. he amplified, the
working men and women would be
the very same civilians-and in the
same number. And they would be
deferred as essential war workers
the same as other essential war
workers are deferred"
The President stressed also that
the War and Navy deferments are
'preponderantly" in the field outside
of Washington. The force in both
agencies in large part, he continued,
consists of women, men below or
over draft age; men classed as ply
sically unfit and fathers.
Post Office Deferments Few.
Next largest employer to War and
Navy is the Post ONCE Department,
the message said. but of 315,74l en-
ployes, only 81 highly skilled postal
inspectors have received occupation
al deferments, and IL of these are
fathers.
THE Post Office certainly does not
look like haven for draft dodg-
ers,'" Mr.. Roosevelt said.
Elsewhere, Mr.. Roosevelt esti-
mated, there were about 1880 men
of draft age, of whom 25.537 were
single; 26,l95 married without chill
dren and 67,647 married with chill
dren. The message said that 6,043
single men and 7,949 married men
in specialized occupations had re-
ceived occupations deferments. He
cited l225 single men in the Federal
Bureau of Investigation as an ex-
ample, and said there were 1900
others overseas in various units.
many in actual combat zones.
