Fathers
 Get Draft
 Deferrment
(By Associated Press }

l WASHINGTON - Thousands of men who became dads between l the summer Of 194i and last Sept ember 15 have received draft de ferment status as fathers for the first time. Previously. only those who became fathers prior to the summer of 1941 were considered as such for draft purposes.
 The new regulation was announc- ed this week by National Selectiye Service headquarters, which told To- cal boards to classify as fathers all those whose children were born be fore last September 15.
 By reason of other new regula- tions. also announced this week, fathers are now the only men de- ferred solely because of family re- lationship-and fathers cannot bc drafted until further orders from National headquarters. Childle s s married men are no longer defer rable.
 This weeks regulations also elim- 4AaANu lnE U-HAOAAA1 0Au u-D AAdA6aA fieation. All men with dependents were in 3-A, but those men with de- pendents who also were holding any kind of a job in an essential activity were placed a step behind the 3-A men of like family relation ship in order of call to service.
 Under the new orders of this week, all childless married men or those with collateral dependents who have been previously 3-A or 3-B must be classified as 1-A-sub- jeet to service in the Army or Navy if they can pass the physical exam ination.
 The only exemptions will be those men now engaged in farming, all of whom will be deferred; or those personally essential to essen tial activities (instead of previous blanket 3-B deferrment which was given without regard to whether the individual was personally es- sential) or in cases of those whose induction would mean extreme hardship and priYation" to depend ents.
 Hereafter, the 3-A classification is reserved exclusively for married men with children. The classifica- tion previously was open to child less married men.
 To take care of hardship cases, a new ificafjOn-3-n-is he ing created Anyone will be classi- fled as 3-D whose induction would result in extreme hardship and privation to wife, child or parent whom he maintains in a bona fide family relationship in their home. !"

VILE Violations
 Most Cases Not
 WiIful, Says Board

The National War Labor Board issued the following statement to- day:
 Alleged violations Of the Wage stabilization provisions of the Anti Imitation Act of Oct. 2. 1942, and of Executive Order 9250 have from time to time been brought to the attention of the National War La- bor Board. Tn these first few months since Congress passed the Act, those violations proved on investigation to have been committed rather through ignorance than through wilful disregard Of the law. It was deemed appropriate, therefore, that the Boards enforcement policy in those early months be tempered by the knowledge that the national policy of wage stabilization was still imperfectly understood.
 The cooperative response of Am erican employers ana employees to the necessary restrictions imposed upon them by this law has been one of the most heartening proofs on the home front Of our will to vic tory. It shows that rne overwhelm- ing majority of our people realize the serious threat to our security. both at home and abroad, Of a run away rise in the cost of living and it shows that they are only too will ing to make the needed personal sacrifices to prevent such a disas- ter
 The Boards investigation of com plaints has, however disclosed that in some instances the declared pol icy of Congress and the President has been wilfully violated. Employ CTS engaged in war production, for example, have complained that some of their workers are being pirated by less scrupu1ous neighbors who are paying increased wages without Board authority. These charges have been seconded by the Govern ment agencies responsible for war production.
 Obviously, wilful violations of the law must be stopped if the anti imitation program is not to be im- paired and the critical manpower situation rendered more acute. Where the Boards investigation of the facts warrant, violations will be prosecuted immediately and viz orously. Ignorance can no longer be pleaded as an excuse.
 Congress in the Act of Oct. 2, and the President in Executive Order 9250 set forth the penalties for violations. Any illegal wage or sal ary payment will De disallowed by the Government as a legitimate ex- pense of the employer when calcula- ting deductions under the revenue laws of the United States, or when determining costs or expenses un- der any law or regulations, includ- ing the Emergency Price Control Act. In addition, Congress provided for criminal penalties which sub ject both employers an demployees who wilfully violate the Act to a fine of not more than S1,000 or inn prisonment of not more than a year, or both.

 It is changed because of a colonel of infantry.

made. They told me about the
baskets the children had woven,
the crossword puzzles they made,
dramatics, and the hikes taken.
Story hours are fascinating for
many parents do not have time
for this these days.
Two little girls who had pre-
viously been taken care of by a

the center much better. There's
no chance for loneliness or want
of playmates here.
The children are checked week
