vised the Commissioners to consider

Against this proposal were ar
guments by police officials and
Chairman Walter L. Fowler Of the
District Agency Committee on De-
ferment of Government Employees
that the standards should not be
lowered for men appointed to regu-

The Board of Commissioners today
considered what steps to take to
prevent a heavy reduction in the
police and fire forces, comforting at
some length with Corporation Coun-
sci Richmond B. Keech and Budget
Officer Fowler. The Commissioners
had asked that ali Washington police
and flremen be placed in the key
position classification.
Mr.. Fowler, while evidencing con-
Germ over the situatio said that the
mere listing of position as a key
position did not necessarily mean
that the District of Columbia Agency
Committee would ask for deferment
of the individual when his number
was called in the draft.
The case of each individual hold

adding that it might be that a sub
Stltute has been trained and is
ready to take over the key position
held by q person who may be
drafted.
Fowler Explains Plans.
Also, Chairman Fowler explained
the mere fact that a position was
excluded from the key position list

that 10000 men with dependents

Mr.. McNutt said today that this was
an improbable total. and that there
were not enough physically fit men
to allow 100000 men with depend

mated that 100000 physically fit

mented today that a report of that
kind raised false hopes"
He declined to comment on the
prediction made by Maj. Gen Lewis
B. Hershey that fathers would be
taken around August l, and said the
date when fathers would be taken
generally depended on the result of
physical examinations under the
Navy's new policy of lowered physi-
cal standards. Asked if he planned
to issue more specific instructions to
draft boards in determining hard
ship cases, Mr.. McNutt said that
hardship was "a matter of fact that
has to be determined locally" He
added that he didn't think there
would be many hardship cases.

They were said to have been de-

The Germans gave the Tigers a

In fighting at close quarters, the
Russians added, it was found that
the caterpillar tracks and wheels of
the Tigers were easily affected by
anti-tank grenades and mines. Bot
ties of gasoline thrown against the
tanks also proved effective, they
said.
The stoutest armor was said to
protect the front OF the juggernauts.
Therefore the Russians perfected a
technique of letting the tanks close
in until they were able to shower
armor- piercing bullets on the sides

The main advantage of the Tiger
