No Deferment for
Young Men Asked

the first time for October a system
of two calls for a single months
quota. The objective is for local
boards to fill their quotas in the
first call from available single and
childless married men so far as
possible. If they can't, they are to
report a deficit.
The second quotas will be issued
as soon as the first call inductions
are tabulated Local boards are un-
der instruction to call non-fathers
first in the cleanup call as far as
possible.
The second call allows for no def
icits to prevent the induction OF
pre-war fathers, however. Thus,
the induction of some fathers in
some states by the end OF this
month appears inevitable.
NEED MANY
Selective Service officials esti-
mate that 446,000 of the 100000
such fathers must be drafted by
the end of this year to fill army
and navy demands for l 100000 ad-
ditional men by that time.
Occupation, family hardship and
physical, mental or moral deficien-
cies will be the only ground for
deferment and Selective Service
expects to get the 100000 without
taking single father who is en-
gagged in a job essential to the war
effort.
Taft would place the draft on a
national quota instead of state
quota basis and ban occupational
deferments for men under 80 unless
individually approved by their local
board and Selective Service Direc-
tor Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey.
Then, if it became necessary to
draft pre-war fathers, those from
1 l8 to "a would be taken first Next
would come the $3.50 age group
Finally would come the group from
! 80 to &c.
In an effort to force greater mill
tary usage of men who have beer
previously rejected on physical
grounds. Taft's amendment would
SET up board of five physicians
to determine whether present army

U.S.. to Hear More
Of Siberian Bases

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-UP)-
The American public apparently is
going to hear considerably more
about suggestions that the Soviet
Union give the United Nations
Siberian bombing bases for use
against Japan.
Earl Browder, leader of the COM
munist party in the United States,
repudiated the idea in an address
delivered last Sunday in Chicago,
and in a statement last night ac-
cused newspapers of distorting their
reports of the speech.
Sen Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., r.,
Mass, just returned from round
the-world visit to battlefronts,
cautiously discussed the subject on
his arrival here, telling the senate
that American access to Soviet
Pacific bases would change the
whole character of the Pacific war"
and save many American lives.

they are forced to stand and fight

RETREAT ORDERLY
All reports indicated the enemy
retreat was orderly and carefully
planned. The Germans evidently
had plotted carefully their delaying
tactics since it took "a hours OF
artillery barrages and tsreet fight
ing to reduce Tore Annunziata, the
last major holding point.
The enemy's luck with similar de-
laying tactics northward was doubt
full. The Italian Armistice Premier,
Marshal iPetro Badoglio, had De
Factor Government functioning and
his forces were aiding the Allies.
Madrid reports described violent
outbreaks in Florence in recent
days.
On the Russian front, Red armies
plodded across White RusSia's wood
ed plains in a drive that carried
some Soviet within 100 miles of the
old Polish border.
The most important immediat>
threat to Hitler's lines was in the

WASHINGTON, Oct. l CUP) -
Petroleum Administrator Harold L..
Ickes today directed west coast oil
refiners to lower their output of
premium gasoline and increase pro-
duction of aviation and 80-octane

Ickes instructed the refiners to
limit their manufacture of premium
gasoline to not more than 10 per
cent by volume of the total civilian
automotive gasoline manufacture.
Ickes said the action was in line
with PAWS policy OF being pre-
pared to meet military and naval

Macarthur Talk
Said Own Defense

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-UP)-Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's recent state
ment attacking 'island-hopping" as
a means of defeating Japan was not
criticism of startegy imposed up
on him but a defense of his own
campaigns in the southwest Pacific,
Sen Ralph o. Brewster, r., Me-,
said in a radio broadcast last night.
Brewster, one of a party of five
Senators just returned from a tour
of the Global battlefronts, said
MacArthur's Sept. q statement had
Eeen widely misinterpreted as a
protest against strategy mot origi-
mated by him.
*'From conversations with the
General during our three-day visit
at his headquarters he said, Il am
sure that this conclusion is wrong
Actually Macarthur was answering
charges that his own strategy to
date has been island-hopping.

reciprocal rates, saying that lower
standards of living and lower
costs in another country might give
unfair competitive advantage ovei
American aviation companies with
higher costs of operation.
The President said this was a de-
tail which would have to be worked
out But he recalled the battle be-
tween shipping lines several years
ago when, he said, all nations were
cutting their sea transportation
costs in an effort to gain mastery
of the maritime trade.
This battle, he said, resulted, in
a government subsidy which was
disguised under the name of mail
subsidy.
If such a situation were to de-
velop again, he continued there
was the possible answer OF a similar
subsidy and the alternative of
raising living standards in the
commercially competitive coun-
tries. The alternative, he added,
certainly would not be easy.
A questioner pointed out that the
globe -circling senators were worried
about the depletion of American oil
supplies, and had urged increased
use of foreign oil in the Allied war
effort.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had asked
aviation and army people to find
out how much petroleum this coun-
try was using in comparison to
others. These figures, the Presi-
dent said, were necessary to ex-
anime the situation accurately.

The attempt to freeze sales at
their present levels, officials said,
is not to be interpreted as ration
ing. The step is deemed necessary,
they said, because of the inability
of production to keep pace with
growing demands.
APPEAR BEFORE SENATE
Meanwhile producers representa-
tiveS appeared before Senate
agriculture subcommittee to protest
the WAS new three month feed
subsidy which takes effect today
Charles w. Holman, secretary of
the Federation of Cooperative Milk
Producers associations, called for
an increase in milk prices as the
only solution to farmers production
difficulties. He said WAS subsidy
would not increase production and
predicted that December production
would drop six per cent under last
December's production.
Most producers agreed with the
congressional farm bloc seeking
higher milk prices. They argued
that consumers can well afford to
pay one cent a quart more for
milk. They said that the controlled
distribution program would bring
home sharply to the public the
problems confronting dairymen.
Feed scarcities due to drought, in
creased labor costs and tired cows,
they declared, are only part of
their troubles.
