officially described as great
weight" of explosive and fire bombs
crashing down on Be lin, Germany's
biggest war industry center.
Four ton super block busters lit
orally blew buildings to pieces, while
spreading conflagrations painted
the night SKI a rosy glow that could
ne seen by the bombing crews far
to the west on their homeWard
journey.
TERROR ATTACK
The German radio called the
raid terror" attack. Hundreds of
thousands of Berlin inhabitants
have been evacuated from the capi-
tai in anticipation of another devas-
tating offensive such as the nine
raids that all but wiped out Ham
burg. However, members of the air
raid precautions services have been
ordered to stay in Berlin to fight
fires and succor the wounded de-
spite the fury of the attack.
The raid-28th of the wal on
Berlin - touched off one of the
greatest air battles yet fought by
the British bombers over Europe.
The Luftwsffe massed all available
night fighter strength and the first
formations pounced on the bombers
soon after they crossed the Europ-
can coast in futile attempt to dis
perSe them.

Those latter words were taken
as an indication that some actual,

under way, possibly b. Italy, al
though there was no indication OF
how far advanced it might be or OF
its pros poets for success.
The pontiffs eXcoriation OF those

the Americans hoped to lure the
japanese fleet into battle
Admiral William F. Halsey, now
commander-in-ch chief in the south
Pacific. led the first raid on Mar
Gus. His force heavily bombed and
shelled the runway, hangers, water
tanks, radio installations, and fuel
and ammunition depots. Eight days
before that raid, the Americans
similarly blasted Wake island.
Some observers believed it pos
sible that Wake may have received
a visit this time, too. Halseys raid
ers found Marcus vell-equipped
with antiaircraft artillery.
A brief Japanese communique,
broadcast domestically b. the Tokyo
radio and reported by the federal
communications commission, was
coupled with a warning that the
raiding party could have attacked

Observers paid particular atten-

announcement It's use would appear
to mean that this attack was in the
nature of hit-and-run affair ratn-
er than an attempt to occupy the
enemy outpost. Such raid was
made on Marcus island on March

that the American task force would

CALL OTHERS

@. Why does not Selective Ser
vice call single men between 38 and
As years old before calling fathers?
A. The army and navy will not
accept men between 38 and As .
The percentage of men 38 years
old and over who are physically
qualified for military service is
negligible while the percentage of
those who are fathers, or who
would be deferred in vital war en-
ployment, is high.
O. How does a local board fill
a call?
A. The local board first selects
and orders to report for induction
eligible men who have volunteered
for induction. The balance of the
call is filled by calling Glass IA
men from the following groups of
registrants, insofar as possible in
the order in which the groups are
listed and in accordance with the
sequence of each mans order num-
ber within his group.
l. Men with no dependents.
2. Men with collateral depend
ents, provided such status was &C
quired prior to Dec. 8, 1941.
3. Men who have wives only with
whom they maintain a bona fide
family relationship in their homes.
provided such status was acquired
rior to Dec. 8, 1941, and including
fathers of children born on or after
Sept. Is, 1912.
4. Fathers of children born be-
fore Sept. 5, 1941, who have left an
essential agricultural occupation
without permission of their local
boards, or who are in nondeferrable
activities or occupations.
5. Fathers of children born be-
fore Sept. Is, 1912, with whom they
maintain bona fide famil:' rela-
tionship in their homes.

Regarding Draft

Continued from Page II
as to postpone drafting fathers?
A. Selective Service, under the
law. acts merely as a procurement
agency for the armed forces.
@. Why can't all single men be
taken before any fathers are draft
ed?
A. All available physically fit
single men are being called first
except those who are deferred in
vital war activities. The later can
not be taken without disrupting
the entire war program until they
are replaced in their civilian work
by fathers or other persons not elig-
ible for military service.
@. Why not lower. the physical
standards for full military service
or call larger numbers of substand-
ard single men for limited service?
A. Each branch of the armed
forces sets is own physical stand
ards and may and does reject men
called for induction who do not
conform to them. The army is ac-
cepting men qualified for limited
service up to per cent of the army
call. The navy does not accept linn
tied service men.

WANT TO DEFER DRAFT OF FATHERS UNTIL

WASHINGTON-A proposal that the general draft of fathers be de- ferred pending a Congressional in vestigation of Tabor hoarding" by war plants was advanced with bi- partisan backing yesterday at hear ings on the Wheeler bill. Senator Wheeler. sponsor of the bill to for bid induction of fathers, suggested it and promptly got support from Senator Holman. Both contended that workmen, including single men eligible for the draft are being em- ployed in unnecessary numbers by some war plants. The question of drafting 17-year-Olds rather than fathers also was raised but quickly passed over.
