Then he lost consciousness but

District Draft Boards
'CurtaiI Deferments
.0f Nonfathers
Full Proof Required
For Classification
As Hordship Case
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Working on the theory that it
is now time for all nonfathers
who can 60 in the service to do
so, District draft boards are
stricter than they have ever been
before in granting deferments, it
was learned last night.
With fewer men to choose from,
the boards have more time to in
vestigate each case and man has
to present positive proof before he
can expect a deferment.
On the other hand, the boards
here are taking into consideration
such factors as the labor shortage,
which makes men more difficult to
replace than they were last year.
They also are giving stays of in
duction to allow nonfathers with
dependents to make arrangements
for their care.
According to District draft Off
cials, this is the attitude of draft
boards to requests for deferment
because of occupation and hardship
to dependents:
The dependent, whether 1t is a
parent or a wife, must be living
in the same home as the registrant.
The only exception is the case of
a man who is paying consider
able amount every month to sup
port his mother in sanitorium.
A case that was good for defer
ment in 3-A, when men with COL
lateral dependents were included in
that classification. may not be good
for classification in Sd as hard
ship case.
officials cited the case of a man
supporting his parents in small
town. He didn't make enough to
bring them here and they couldn't
support themselves by renting rooms
because the town already had 1000
vacant houses. He had been de-
ferred in ga. He could not be
classed in Sd, because his parents
didn't live with him.

Subsidy Is Needed to

BY ROBERT c. HARPER.

Beef was hard to get in Dis
trict stores and markets yester-
day; in fact, one dealer termed
the shortage the worst in the
city's history.
Supplies of beef, lamb, veal and
pork were quickly exhausted in many
retail outlets. Unable to buy meats,
housewives clamored for chicken.
Unless shipments from the Middle
West are received the first of the

beef for an understandable period.
One beef wholesaler supplying
hotels and restaurants explained the
shortage in this manner:
I'VE are owned by a large meat
packing firm. If meat is to be OBJ
tanned, we certainly will have our
share for sale to the public. But
the truth is that livestock producers
are not bringing their beef cattle to
stockyards. They are holding out
for higher prices, since livestock is
without a ceiling. There will not
be any great change in the situation
until livestock is put under a ceiling,
and a subsidy is given the producer.
Packers lose money under ceiling
regulations. The result is a shortage. I"
U. S. Priority = Factor.
The fact that the Government has
a priority on As per cent of the total
beef supply, in order to feed millions
of servicemen here and abroad,
serves to restrict civilian consump-
ton at all times and dries up the
beef markets when farmers periodic

A reporter went to the market at

fTert OF Wright statement,

BY the Associated Press.
In a report charging delivery
of defective airplane engines to
the Army and Navy, the Senate
Truman committee yesterday
called the Curtiss- Wright Corp.
guilty of gross negligence"
about. inspection practices de-
signed for the safety of airmen.
The company replied in a state
ment by its president, G. w. Waugh
an, that it has never sold or de-
livered ito the Government, or any
one else, products known to the
company to have contained defec-
tive or substandard parts" He called
any such charge false and unwar-
ranted."
Terming Curtiss Wright's P-40
fighter "at best second choice"
plane among American and Allied
flyers, the report said it was ..rela-
lively obsolete" when America en-
tered the war, but that the Army
continued to order P-40s. But now,
1t said:
Army Cuts Orders.
"The Army has decided to dis
continue all production Of the fight
ers, except for replacements and
trainers, and most of the dive bomb
ers now produced at Curtis Wright,
and have it concentrate primarily
on the GAG (Commando) cargo
plane, which has proved successful"
The committee said the defective
engines came from the Lockland
(Ohio) plant OF the Wright Aero
nautical Corp, a wholly-owned sub
sidiary of Curtiss- Wright, and it
said the responsibility for mot as
certaining and correcting" the sit
uation rested with the parent firm.
In the denial, Mr.. Vaughan said.
"The only way to judge the merit
of military airplane, engine or
propeller is the way it performs in
actual combat" He added:
"The P-4O has been continuously
modernized since our entry into the
war. and it has been the backbone
of United States Army fighter squad
rons, with a very successful record
in every theater of the war, having
shot down from to 20 enemy planes
for every P-4o lost.
Cites Engine Performance.
Engines built at our Lockland
plant have played an outstanding
part in the war effort to date.
They powered the North Ameri-
can B-25s that bombed Toxic and
played major part in the battle of
Midway, in North Africa and, in fact,
practically every theater of the war.
"All the information that we have
been able to obtain indicates that
these engines-past and present
have record at least as good as,
if not better than, any other engine
for performance. reliability and
satisfactory service.
"It is unfortunate that the Tru-
man Committee has misinterpreted
standard and recognized manufac-
turing and inspection procedures
which have led them to conclude
that the engines turned out by our
Lockland plant are not up to the
high standards we have always
maintained"
