JUDGE RULES BAN
ON ESQUIRE JUSTIFIED

Washington-A Federal District
judge ruled yesterday that Post
master General Walker wa S
justified in ordering Esquire
magazines second-class mailing
privileges revoked and cited the
famous old McGuffey's readers in
support of his opinion.
Judge T. w. Davidson, assigned
to the case from the Dallas, Texas,
bench, did not pass on Walkers
original contention that the maya
zine contained obscenity, but
simply held that the cabinet Of
fetal did not act in an arbitrary
or capricious manner when he
reclassified it for mailing pur-
poses.
Davidson said he understood the
opinion would be appealed. He
declared the decision likely would
affect a number of other publica-
tons which he termed ''imitators"
of Esquire.

ALUMINIUM. MAGNESIUM
HAVE BEEN RELEASED

Washington-The War Produc-
ton Board has issued the first
order of Chairman Donald M.
Nelson's disputed four-point re-
conversion program and officially
released aluminium and magne-
SUM for essential civilian pro-
ducts.
In lifting restrictions and lay
ing the groundwork for eventual
reconversion of industry from
war to peacetime production, the
agency emphasized that no i'm
mediate large-scale resumption of
civilian production should be
looked for.
Aluminium may be substituted
for "any other metal in the man.
ufacture of any item," WPB said.
The order, however, contains re-
strictions to prevent this substitu-
ton from creating any increase
in total production which might
result in using too much alumni
mum or diverting manpower from
more essential operations.

U. S. Army And Navy Have
Reached Quota OF III 100000

Washington - The navy has
reached its desired strength of g.
$50, 600, bringing combined armed
forces strength to it's scheduled
peak of 11,350,000 and putting
future induction calls on a re-
placement basis, it was learned
this week.
Naval officials told United
Press that as of June 80 the navy,
marine corps and coast guard
numbered 3,632,381 men and wo-
men-just $4,000 short of the Sept.
1 goal-and estimated that by now
that peak has been passed.
The navy itself stood at 2,987,-
81, the marine corps at 475,385,
and the coast guard at 1925.
This tabulation reflected an ex-
pansion since April 80 of about
100000 men, by far the major
part of manpower indicted since
that time.
The army has been on replace
ment basis for the past three and
one half months after reaching it's
scheduled strength of 100000 on
April l.
Unless future military opera
tons require sudden and increas-
ed demands for manpower, it was
expected that monthly induction
quotas can be cut below 100000.
The army has required replace
ments in the neighborhood of TO-
900 men per month, and the navy
ordinarily less than 10000.
Youths reaching 18 years of age
number approximately 100000 per
month, with an average of more
than $4,000 fit for general military
service, and it was believed they
would be able to fill the great
bulk of these calls.
