Despite repeated warnings that
fathers who remain in nondefer-
rable jobs will be drafted ahead of
deferrable jobs here have decided
to stay on their old jobs and take
their chances, a Star survey indi-
Gated last night.
Here's how the men are reason
ing, as indicated by a check of de-
partment stores and hotels where
a number of nondeferrable jobs are
listed:
They believe they would be con-
sidered draft dodgers If they
changed jobs.
Particularly in hotels, number
of men whose jobs were listed in
February as nondeferrable have re-
manned on the old jobs and have
not been drafted.
Not Qualified, They Feel.
They feel they have no expert
ence in technical work, that they
are businessmen and aren't quail
fed for factory jobs.
They think Congress will force
the Army and Navy to cut their
draft calls.
They don't think they will be de-
ferred for more than few months
even If they change Jobs
They are fed up with announce
ments, warnings and predictions
and have decided to stay on the job
and take their chances.
x. Vernon Banta. District di-
rector of the United States EN-
ployment Service, estimated that
approximately 400 men came to the
USES last week to see about chang
ing jobs. The hotels and depart
ment stores reported that as far as
they knew none OF their men had
left for other jobs yet.
Gamble on Congress Action.
The men are gambling heavily on
Capitol Hill action to clarity the
draft picture and there were indi-
cations yesterday that the Senate
will be asked to call for showdown
on the issue of drafting fathers soon
after Congress reconvenes.
Chairman Reynolds, Democrat, of
North Carolina of the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee declared
yesterday that conflicting" state
ments on manpower requirements
had created Nation wide confusion
and indicated that officials in charge
OF manpower may be invited to give
returning members of Congress ar
up-to-date review of the problem
before debate on the father draft
starts.
Under the latest regulations, sales
clerks. f1oorwalkers, desk clerks
booking agents, guides, employees OF
travel agencies and pet shops are
among those listed as nondefer.
rsble and have three more weeks Il
change jobs or be drafted.

Boren Doubts Need
For Further Cut in
Newsprint This Year
BY the Associated Press.

QUEBEC, Aug. 21.-Chairman
Boren of the House Subcommittee
investigating newsprint problems,
declared today he saw no justifi-
cation for further curtailment this
year in supplies for newspapers.
ITO make further newsprint re-
ductions now in contemplation of
potential shortage of pulpwood
next year could be justified only on
the theory that it would be better
to starve to death slowly than to
live normally as long as possible, "
Representative Boren commented at
press conference.
Representative Boren and men,
bers of his group are completing a
tour of newsprint mills in Quebec
province, where most OF Canada S
pulp is made.
Representative Boren said the
committee understood Canadian Sc
lective service officials had been
doing some very constructive work
In organizing farmers to spend con-
siderable time in the woods cutting
pulpwood, and added mo doubt
more can and will be done"
More Labor Needed.
Regarding the supply of labor for
forest camps, he asserted: There
is still time, but there is no time to
lose"
The committee expects to confer
Monday with government officials
in Ottawa and will discuss with
them the barriers to increased pa
per production.
In these discussions the committee
will not offer recommendation but
will put forth the various ideas
which were submitted to it on
weeks tour of Canadian paper areas.
From visits to the paper -produc-
ing areas the committee learned
that the only obstacle to meeting
American newspaper requirements
Is lack of wood at the mills.
Paper mill executives said the
other necessities Of paper making
were ready-plants, machines, pow
er, chemicals. But wood piles were
low, so low that the supply of news
print-already curtailed-is in doubt
for the final quarter of the year.
Suggestions to Be Offered.
Woodsmen suggested pulpwood
cutting should be declared essential,
since it is necessary part of pro-
duction of pulpwood for eventual
war purposes and the manufacture
Of newsprint paper for equally essen
tial consumption. United States
pulpwood cutters now are classed
with other essential workers.
Also to be laid before Ottawa Sc
lective service and war agency Off
cials Monday were suggestions that
rationing be lifted from wood work
ers who do heavy labor, woodsmen
now in the army be furloughed to
help out in the forests, farmer de-
ferment rules be broadened to per-
nit the normal off-season work in
wood camps, higher prorities be
granted for woods machinery and
that skilled woodsmen now in other
jobs be returned to the timberlands.
Twenty thousand men are needed.
AS further step toward fulfilling
that goal The industry has offered to
uze prisoners of war and interned
aliens. 1t feels that with 10000 addi-
tional men the paper shortage pla-
guing American publishers would be
eliminated. .ssstsasssss $1,000

Governor General of French West
Africa, which includes the base of
Dakar.
Gen. Henri Giraud Is tentatively

vitation to Washington nearly two
months ago and replied that he
would prefer to come later, it was
learned from good authority. He
said the pressure of recognizing
French affairs and rearming French
forces demanded his attention in
Africa. When President Roosevelt
repeated the Invita- ton, he accepted.
His prospective departure is caus-

cerned with urgent military affairs.
The official version of the reason for
his trip Is that it is for consultation
on military affairs.

The three important Japanese

troops moving out in strength.
There was also a transfer of enemy
