taken against any dealers in this
area the local OPA said today.

erators) feed not only upon the
consumer" the OPA said, but also
upon the overwhelming majority of
business men who are eager to abide
by the law"

any attempt to create a black mar
ket" has been drafted by the ma

Navy Reports Discovery
Of 'Shark-Repe||ent'
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A substance has been discovered
that will drive sharks away from
men adrift in shark -infested waters,
the Navy reported today.
Expected to be of great value to
Navy and merchant marine seamen.
the "shark-repellent" was developed
in experiments conducted at Woods
Hole, Mass, in the ocean off Florida
and Guayaquil Harbor, Ecuador.
It's nature is a closely guarded
secret, but the Navy reported of
the experiments:
Hungry sharks were found to re-
fuse bait, which otherwise they
would have taken voraciously if a
small quantity of the shark-repellent
was not suspended in the water
nearby
Three identical fish bats, the
regular food of sharks, were used in
the experiments A small amount
of the shark-repellent was placed
near one of these bats. In each of
25 experiments this bait, which is
believed to be far more attractive
to sharks than a man, was left un-
touched whereas other bats not
near the shark-repellent were in
variably taken"

Rules on Draft Aqe
OF Workers Leavinq
Country 1ightened
Applications Must Be
Presented to VINO
Review Committee

Permits for draft-age men in the
Federal service to leave the country
have been put under close surveil-
lance in instructions issued by War
Manpower Chief McNutt carrying
out the Presidents order on Fed
eral draft deferments.
The instructions, which embrace
all the procedures to be followed
by Government departments in
handling draft cases among their
employees. provide that copies of all
requests filed by agency draft COM
mittees with local boards after May
l for permits to leave the country
must be forwarded to the VINO Re
view Committee. The agency COM
mittees must notify the VINO group
OF local board action on permits.
Overseas permits have been the
subject of much discussion by the
Costello committee investigating
Federal draft deferments. The Of
flee of War Information and the
State Department have been scru-
tinized particularly to determine the
draft status of their overseas per-
sonnel.
Exceed Order on Some Points.
While the McNutt instructions
issued yesterday, generally follow the
Presidents order. they go further on
several points. For example, agency
committees are allowed in the in
structions to request stays of induc-
ton not exceeding so days with the
Review Committee getting a copy OF
the requests.
The regulations also provide that
where local board and an appeal
board have both turned down an
agency deferment request, the
agency committee may submit the
case to the Review Committee "re-
questing authorization of further
appeal" Presumably. such cases
would 60 to the President.
Special arrangements are made in
the regulations for deferment of
employees in scientific and technical
fields and employees in "active ocean,
going service"
Scientific Personnel Procedure.
While, in other cases, agency COM
mittees will make their deferment
requests direct to the local boards
and submit copies to the Review
Committee, in the case of scientific
and technical personnel, all requests
for deferment must be submitted to
the Review Committee before going
to the local boards.
The Review Committee may con-
suit with the National Committee
set up for that technical field and
will advise the Agency Committee
whether the request should be made.
According to reports, the bulk of
occupational deferments in the Fed
eral service outside of actual
mechanical work is for scientific and
technical personnel.
Deferment requests for ocean,
going personnel must be submitted
to the Recruitment and Manning
Organization of the War Shipping
Administration which will handle
the cases directly with local boards
