deferrable list after Thursday, ma
titonal draft officials do not expect
to get sizable pool of draft eligibles
from the bartenders, bellhops and
others on this list.
1t is expected that hardship cases
will make it necessary to continue
deferment of some of these men, and
many others will fail to meet the
physical requirements. No figures
ever were available On the number
of men in the SO activities and 35
occupations covered by the non-
deferrable list.
In order to escape an April l draft
call, the men merely had to leave
their non -deferrable jobs. 1t was
advised that they seek essential
work, which would give them a 3-B
classification if they had depend
ents, but they also could get into
other non-essential work as long as
it did not appear on the non-defer-
rable list. In the latter case, they
would remain in ga until swept
from it if such work later were to be
listed as non-deferrable.
Discretionary Power Granted.
In addition, draft boards have
discretionary authority to postpone
induction of non -deferrable or idle
men on these grounds:
Sickness of registrant or imme-
diate family of registrant; physical
disqualification; reasonable vaca-
ton; compelling circumstances that
would not permit the change of un-
employment without undue hard
ship to the registrant or his de-
pendents."
Although draft boards may take
men on the non n-deferrable list as
soon as the work or fight" order
becomes effective Thursday, or after
the 30-day grace period, some boards
may elect to postpone induction of
fathers in non-deferrable jobs until
it becomes absolutely necessary to
take them to meet draft calls.

Jury Finds Two Guilty
In DarneII Hotel Case

Clay Darnell 63, and Rolfe Ander-
son. 35, described by the Govern
ment as the operator and clerk OF
the Darnell Hotel, COS Fifth street
NV. were convicted yesterday by a
Municipal Court jury on charges
of operating a disorderly house in
the hotel.
Judge Walter J. Casey sentenced
Anderson to 80 days in Jail, taking
into consideration the fact he has
been in Jail since the hotel was
raided by police November 3. The
court withheld the sentencing Of
Darnell to permit James K. Hughes,
his attorney, 70 file a motion for a
new trial.
Detectives P. F. Clarke and J. R.
Allen testified that on several occa-
sions before the raid they saw
women whom they described as
known prostitutes, enter the hotel
with men and emerge a short while
later.
Assistant United States Attorney
Kenneth D. Wood introduced in
evidence the hotels registry, which
purported to show individual rooms
were rented by as many as seven
different people in one day.

native Algerian Jews who desire to

the end of the war, until Metropoli-

The report pointed out that anti
Jewish laws of the Vichy regime,

possibilities for providing more ade-
quate temporary refuge in neutral
European countries for those vic
Tins of Misrepresentation who cannot
be brought out of Europe because
Of shipping difi1culties.
While the problem particularly
concerns Jewish refugees, this Gov
ernment insists that measures for
relief not be confined to any par
ticular race or faith. Mr.. Hull
pointed out in his February note
that persons Of various races, faiths

to essential work, caused a stampede
out of non-deferrable jobs in some
cities, the War Manpower Commits
sion said yesterday it had no figures
on the number of men who had
transferred. The United States EN-
ployment Service has said it will
help the men find other work, but
has made no promises and has no
funds to pay transportation from
one city to another where workers
are needed.
1t is the notice to permit the
drafting of fathers generally that is
under consideration at national Sc
lective service headquarters. Since
the machinery of classifying and
processing registrants usually con-
sumes more than month, and a
number of boards are known to be
short of available men, it is prob
able that this notice will be issued
in the near future.
ExI.ect Order to Be Specific.
When the order is sent out, it
will contain specific instructions gov
erning the order of call of the fam
lily men, according to authoritative
services. Whether national head
quarters will decide to take man
with one child before calling a man
with three or four children, or levy
its calls on fathers in the 20's before
reaching the older men, is still in
the discussion stage.
The regulations provide method
of skirting the order number meth
cd of calling fathers Congress au-
thorized the president, who has
delegated his draft powers to selec-
tive service, to provide for the de-
ferment of any or all categories of
men having wives and children, or
children only, with whom they
maintain a bona flde family rela-
tionship in their homes.
In other words, selective service
could continue to defer fathers with
two children while taking fathers
of one child by order number.
Whatever the order of call, draft
officials insist that undue hard
ship will continue to be a measur-
ing rod in calling up men for induc-
ton. Draft boards. however. may
insist on a clearer definition of what
constitutes undue hardship" when
they have to call up fathers, leaving
families to get along on what many
draft boards consider to be meager
allowances to dependents.
Congress May Intervene.
There is also the possibility that
Congress will step in with its own
suggestions on the order in which
fathers should be called. Neither of
the two pending bills which deal
with the family angle of the draft
60 into this problem. The Wheeler
bill provides blanket deferment OF
all fathers, and the Kilday bill pro-
vides that they should be called
last.
Passage of the latter bill, which
has been reported out and is now
awaiting action on the floor, would
half the induction of fathers on the
non-deferrable list and, by making
it mandatory to put calls on a State
wide basis, might equalize the calls
on boards sufficiently to postpone
the drafting of fathers.
Draft officials insist. however, that
fathers will have 10 be called within
l.
left to be decided is how those calls
will be placed.
List May Be Disappointing. No.
Although some draft boards are
said to be counting heavily on being
able to tap men from the non
