leave the country for overseas jobs.
Single men and husbands now
subject to the draft who are on jobs
out of the country have their cases
reviewed every six months to see if
continued deferment is warranted,
the draft official said. If draft
eligible was stationed at place to
which it would be difficult to send
a replacement and the job he was
doing was considered important, the
official said, he probably would be
granted another deferment.
Where draft boards think men can
be replaced. however, they reclassify
them into la, waive the local board
physical examination and order the
men to report to the Army post
nearest them for induction.
If there is no post within rea-
sonable distance. men tapped by the
draft board are given additional
time to report. If they don't report
within a reasonable time, they are
considered delinquent, the official
said.
He could give no estimate of how
many men have gone into the serv-
ice out of the country since the
cases are handled directly by local
draft boards.

Draft-age men In foreign posts

Commenting on charges that large

He admitted, however, that selec-

other men who have never registered

been in this country since the Sc

The draft official explained that in

Red Army's Artillery
Rakes Nazis Giving Up

Soviet Planes Busy Over

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, May 3.-Red Army
artillery raked German positions
in the Kuban sector of the West
ern Caucasus throughout the
night, although the Soviet mid
night communique announced
that German efforts to expand
their bridgehead in that region
had been abandoned after a six
day drive in which the Nazis lost
1000 men.
The midday communique said the
Russian shellfire killed 200 more OF
the enemy and that Is mortar and

stroyed.

Violent Air Struggles.
A violent spring air struggle con-
tinued along the entire Russian
front as Soviet bombers and fighters
sought to disrupt any German plans
for an offensive.
While announcing that there were
mo significant changes" on the
front, the Russian noon COM
munique did report that a battalion
of German infantry attempted to
storm the Soviet defense line south
of Chuguev on the Donets River
front, southeast of Kharkov.
However, Soviet infantrymen met
the attack firmly and with the aid
of artillery beat back the Germans
to their original positions, the bull
letin said.
A skirmish was reported on the
northwestern front, where Soviet
troops were said to have thrown
back numerically superior forces,
killing several scores of Germans.
Otherwise, however, little action
was reported in the communique.
On the home front, the Com
munist Party newspaper Pravda

Late in November when the Red Armies

FRENCH UNITY:
Worth Waiting for

Although General Giraud and
General DeGaulle at first could not
agree any better at close range in
Algiers than they had at long range
between Africa and London, Allied
leaders were confident that factional
gulfs would be hurdled and long
hoped-for French unity would be
consummated.
This optimistic view was justified
when a French committee of ma
tional liberation" headed jointly by
Generals De Gaulle and Giraud, was
formally established to pursue the
war at the side of the Allies until
total victory over the enemy pow
ers."
Comprising a seven-man group
which eventually will be expanded to
nine, the new liberation committee
will direct the French war effort un-
til France is freed and able to elect
its own government. In addition to
the co-presidents, Giraud and De-
Gaulle, the committee includes Gen.
Alphonse George and Jean Monnet,
named by Giraud; Rene Massigli
and Andre Philip, appointed by De-
.Gaulle; and Gen. Georges Catroux,
designated by both presidents.
That the new committee meant
business was Immediately apparent
by personnel replacements that
eliminated French-African officials
with former Vichy ties.

MEDITERRANEAN:
MussoIini at Bay

Mussolini's defenses at sea had
been no more impressive than in the
air when Allied forces struck at the
island approaches to the "soft I'm
derbelly" of Italy.
Target of the first assaults was
the island of Pantelleria, closest of
Italy's Mediterranean outposts to AZ
rica. Here Allied warships made
heavy bombardments that were un-
opposed. The Italian fleet that had
been reported on the alert had made
no effort to come out and fight for
Pantelleria which already had been
shaken by Allied bombers. In none
of the attacks did the Allied fleet
units suffer casualties. The only re-
sistance offered was from the in
effective Italian shore batteries.
Only As miles from the tip Of
Tunisia's Cap Bon peninsula, Pan
telleria was an easily reached tar
get for Allied air forces. AS wave
after wave of bombers swept over
the island blowing up port facilities,
other Allied planes kept up a dam
aging series of forays against Sicily
and Sardinia.
The extent to which the Mediter-
ranean was becoming an Allied lake
was indicated by a report announc-
ing that the Allied destroyers had
sunk two merchant vessels and an
escorting torpedo boat and driven
burning Italian destroyer ashore.

COAL:
WLB Sustained

When President Roosevelt, acting
as commander-in-chief, tersely or
dered the O0,00O striking mine work
,ers back to work after a 30-day
truce had been ended by another
walkout, he had left the next move
squarely up to mine union chief John
J.. Lewis.
In his brief statement the Presi-
dent did not consider the possibility
that his order might be ignored. But
measures of a stern and effective
nature were open to him and the
force of public opinion was mar
shaled overwhelmingly behind him
in the event of continued mine
work stoppage.
The Presidents order had COM
pletely supported the War Labor
board which Mr.. Lewis and his Unit
ed Mine Workers had defied, setting
forth plainly that "Just as soon as
the miners return to work, the dis
position of the dispute will
forthwith proceed under the juris-
diction of the War Labor board"

ARGENTINA:

policy-whether the government
would pursue its trend of benevolent
neutrality toward the Axis, or would
follow the rest of South America in
breaking with the Axis.
The military reaction gained added
significance, coming as it did on the
eve of the Conservative party's ma
tional convention preceding the
Presidential elections. For this con-
vention had been scheduled to pro-
claim Senate President Robustiano
Patron Costas as its candidate.
Costas had been endorsed by "neu-

TRADE PACTS:
TtUO Years More

Final approval by the senate of
President Roosevelt's reciprocal
trade agreements program came
after administration supporters, aid

five amendments that would have
restricted the Presidents authority.
The house had previously voted fa--
vorably.
The President had originally
asked for three-year extension.
But because this would throw the
policy into the next presidential
administration for more than a year,
both house and senate measures cut
it to two years. The senate's action,
however, meant that members of the
United Nations could be assured that
this governments present trade pol
icy would be continued until June IL,
