/ ASSUME you know that the
L draft appeal board has re-
voked the latest deferment of
second-front Joe Curran, the
fair-weather sailor, who went
TO sea for a vacation cruise
after the navy had brought the
submarines under control to the
extent that the Germans were
losing submarines faster than
the U-boats were sinking cargo
vessels GHfran has been placed

10 be drafted as soon as he re-
turns from his vacation.
Comrade Curran is president
of the National Maritime Union.
which is a political protege of
the New Deal, and he has been
an uncommonly bloodthirSty ad-
vocate of an assault by Ameri-
can men on the channel coast of
France. Nevertheless, he has
been extremely bashful about
military service himself and
hesitated to sail not only until
the submarines had been sup
pressed, perhaps only tempo
rarily, as Col. Frank Knox
ominously suggests, but until
there was a minimum risk of
adverse weather conditions, as
his union phrased it in an Off
cial press release announcing his
mission.
Although Comrade Curran
has been reclassified. il need not
be assumed that he will see
military service. He enjoys high
political privilege like Harry
Bridges. the alien Communist
enemy of the American govern
ment, and the wife of Earl
Browder, leader of the Commu-
mist conspiracy against the
United States; and doubtless he
will be allowed delays until his
3Sth birthday and he seems abb
solutely safe.
Bridges and Mrs. Browder
both are under orders of depor-
tation but have not been dis
turbed and will not be although
there is plenty of transportation
TO return them TO Australia and
Russia, respectively.

sity of going into any further

your husband the Impression
