Draft Of Fathers
In Maryland
Expected byJu|Y
Bryant Says All Other
Glasses Then Will
Be Exhausted
BY the Associated Press.

by tIle Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, April 7.-Comdr. G.
H. Bryant, assistant State director
of selective service, predicts that
Maryland fathers will be drafted
in large numbers by July, since by
that time all other classifications
will be exhausted.
The classes he said would be de-
pleted by July included single men,
men with collateral dependents,
married men without children and
married men with children but un-
able to claim dependency.
Comdr. Bryant, assistant to Col.
Henry c. Stanwood, State selective
service director, said authorization
for the drafting of fathers was ex-
pected on Nationwide basis
shortly, probably coming before such
action becomes necessary in Mary
land.
Called Average State.
The selective service official added
that Maryland was regarded as an
average State in that its draft-man-
power problems were similar to those
prevailing IN other States.
A Washington decree cutting
April draft quotas will give local
boards breathing spells, Comdr.
Bryant added, and will permit them
to study new manpower regulations.
Reduction This Month.
He said a general reduction in
the number of men to be summoned
this month in Maryland had been
ordered by 1t. Col. Floyd w. Ferree,
in charge of enlisted procurement
for the Sd Service Command, on
orders from Washington.
Col. Ferree meanwhile said he had
issued the request on the basis
of instructions of the War Depart
ment. He said he did not know
the reason for the reduction.

BY JAMES BIRCHFIELD.

While some markets in the Dis
trict have been reducing point values
on meats to sell their supplies, a
shortage of beef still exists in nearby
Virginia, a survey of markets in
Arlington and Fairfax Counties re-
vealed today.
Stores have been unable to meet
demands, and several early morning
shoppers declared meat rationing
had failed to relieve the necessity of
being at the store each day when
deliveries are made. One said that
it was still the case of "the early
bird catches the worm"
Except for chain stores, where
meat quotas are allotted from head
quarters here, dealers had no ex-
planation for the shortages except
to say they couldn't buy any more
than they have been getting.
Two Markets Without Beef.
Two large meat departments in
supermarkets in Clarendon and the
town of Fairfax were completely
without cuts of beef last night, and
expected to receive only small
supply when deliveries are made to-
day.
Meat departments in large stores
In Vienna and Falls Church report
ed they had small supplies of beef
today, but had been unable to sup
ply the demand of their customers
since the rationing program began.
In one meat department in Clar-
endon there was displayed for sale
last night only a leg of lamb, a
breast of lamb, quantity of fresh
pork shoulders and a supply of un-
rationed chickens and fish.
A clerk in this market said a
