 Graduates

In the midst of their annual din. ner-dance for graduates of Italian descent last night at The Elton, members of tho Unico Club stopped to purchase war bonds, and before the evening was over the total reached the high mark of $3i 300.

The bond official also commended student activity in the bond campaigns, and pointed out that the high school students secured an investment of $50,000 to- ward Corsair plane.

JUDGE OVERRULE
 THREE DEMURRERS
Wolc0tt Milk Dealer De. fendant in Suit Filed By
 State Administrator

Superior Court Judge Edward J. Quinlan today oveTuled three de- murers filed by Mehmet Tosum Wolcott milk dealer, in e civil action brought by Donald O. Hammerbefg state milk administrator, and indi- cated the defense claims of the milk dealer should be settled fol. lowing hearing of the litigation in court.
 The civil action was started by the milk administrator in an at- tempt to collect approximately $4.- 900 which he claims the milk dealer owes to milk producers as the re- suit of underpayments,
 Judge Quinlan in his rnemoran- dun states 1t appears to him that the defendant was aware of the regulations and was not naisled by them. He continues, that, on the other hand, the method used in giving notice of regulations might well escape a dairyman intent up- on his occupation and remote from activities" He states that e hearing in the case will show the true situ. ation.
 Judge Quinlan states further that a hearing of the facts will disclose the reasonableness of the claims made. He states, Tt seems best to overrule the demurrer on all grounds, thus enabling the defend- ant to study the act in relation to the relief sought by injunction.
 In the demurrers the milk dealer claimed the state milk administra- tor had no authority to issue orders, that the regulations were unreason- able and oppressive and were an at- attempt to regulate trade and inc dustry and to fix prices, and that the milk act was unreasonable be. cause 1t does not provide for e proper notice of any change or amendment to the regulations.
 The defendant in the case was given c suspended one-day jail sen- tence last October 6 on @ charge of violating the milk laws, following arraignment before Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell. The jurist at that time called the milk law "socialistic and not in accord with our ideals and institutions" It was indicated by the defendant at that time that he would test the con- stitutionality of the milk regula- tions.
 No assignment of the litigation will be made until after the fall term opens.

medical students on the ground that 1t would provide immunity from military service for five or more years to Q selected group of young men. This opposition is maintained notwithstanding the fact that per-, sistence in the failure to grant de- ferments will greatly reduce the number of graduates in medicine in lo4e and lo4o. It seems entirely possible that the number of doctors coming into the profession every year will actually be smaller than the $500 who die each year.
 The release by l04e of many doc- tors now in military service, which is put forward as an argument against deferment, is by no means an answer to the problem. The num- Der of men released will not compen- sate for the deficit in new gradu- ates, for 1t can hardly cover the rapidly growing demand for physi- clans. There must be doctors enough to fill hospital requirements

The bill, introduced by Congress- man Miller of Missouri and now pending before the Committee on Military Affairs of which Mrs. Luce is e member, calls for the deferment each year of not less than 5000 medical and pre-medical students.
 The action of the Medical Society was stimulated by the prevailing policy of the Army and the Selective Service System, under which placing of medical students on inactive status in the enlisted reserve pend- ing the completion of their studies has been discontinued. Up to now, government officials have apparent ly realized the necessity for main taining continuous medical educa- ton of high quality in the United States. Evidently pressure has been brought to bear which has caused them to disregard our future medi- cal needs and to gamble with the health of the nation.

Hope Rome Will Be Spared

The Catholic hierarchy in the
United States has cabled Pope Plus
XII an expression of confidence
that Allied military ingenuity will
prove itself and enrich our victory
by saving Rome from destruction
or further damage"
Asserting the best course "for
the sake of humanity" would be
an open-city declaration, the mes
sage took note that this might fail,
adding: Earnestly have the bishops
pleaded that our leaders be mindful
of the responsibility they bear in
history in this critical hour"
The cablegram was signed by
Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, Arch

felt, but the buttonhole remained.
