Men Under 20 Are To Get
Draft Examinations Soon

Washington - Selective serv-
ice has intensified it's drive for
able bodied young men in a series
of sharp new instructions to draft
boards, while government agen-
cies agreed on a plan to save a
few indispensable" youths for
vital war industry.
Aimed directly at faster induc-
ton of men Is and younger for
combat service, the orders from
Major General Lewis B. Hershey,
draft director, will leave regis
trants 26 and over untouched I'M
til the younger men have been
cleaned up.
Hershey's action came quickly
after Chairman Paul V. McNutt,
of the war manpower commission
(WMC) announced that a new
committee headed by himself
would ration" deferments among
the chosen key industries, and
gave other agencies just three
days to submit figures on the
number of men proposed by them
for deferment.
The Hershey orders provided
interim" machinery to prevent
the drafting of essential young
men until McNutt's machinery is
functioning, and in addition told
the local boards:
l. To pay no heed to the expira-
ton date of present deferments of
men under 26, but to proceed with
the review of their .deferments
and reclassify them as la or
otherwise as rapidly the review
is carried out.
2.fTo let men rs and older stay
in their present classifications un-
til the boards have gone through
the lists of all men under 26 in
class ga as we'll as those deferred
in industry and agriculture.
3. To order up for pre-inductior
physical examination all men I'm
der 26 who hold occupational de-
ferments and who have not beer
physically examined within the
last 80 days.
4. To use their discretion in re-
classifying as IA or 2-B (occupa-
tional deferments) those men I'M

SOME PEACE PLANS
OUTLINED BY GROUP

Washington - Creation of a
community of world states to
maintain order-by force if nee
essary-with international obi
cations of the states even more
important than their domestic
sovereignty, was proposed this
week in the findings of panel of
200 lawyers, professors and glo-
bal experts.
The recommendations were
drafted after series of 80 I'M
publicized conferences in which
leading figures of the United
States and Canada took part. The
participants were chosen by the
international law decision of the
Carnegie endowment for inter-
national peace without regard to
their political or other affiliations.
Submitted for public consider
alton, their report was said to be
aimed at creating the sort OF
world organization envisioned by
the United Nations-a "just and

More Cheese And
Butter But Less
Meat For April
OPA Announces That There
Will Be An Increase In
Butter For Next Period

Washington Civilians will
have more butter and cheese, but
slightly less meat, during April,
May, and June compared with the
first three months of the year.
In making this announcement
this week, the War Food admin
Fistration said the civilian al1oca-
ton of butter for the period, April
through June, is 432,OO0,OOO
pounds, compared with the jan
uary-through-March total of no.
100000. The increase is made
possible by slackening in buy
ing for military and lend-lease
purposes due to built-up stores,
officials explained.
A total of 4,485, 100000 pounds
of meat will be allocated to civil
ans for April through June, COM
pared with 5,O91, 100000 pounds
for the first three months of the
year-with approximately the
same proportion of beef, pork,
veal, and lamb available as dur
ing the present quarter.
Originally only 4,544,3OO, 900
pounds of meat was allocated for
January through March but this
was supplemented by an addition
al 547,0OO,000 pounds, almost all
pork, when the actual supply ex-
ceeded the estimates, the VIA
The total cheddar cheese allo-
cation for civilians for the April
through June quarter is 100000
900 pounds or 100000 above
the present quarter while that for
other cheeses such as Swiss, Itali-
an, limburger, etc., is down slight
ly from 45,0OO,OOO pounds to A.
100000.
Potatoes, cabbage, spinach, let
tuce, carrots, citrus fruits, canned
green and wax beans, tomatoes
and other fresh vegetables, frozen
vegetables, eggs and milk are ex-
pected to be in good supply dur
ing the next quarter while bread,
flour, noodles and spaghetti are
expected to be plentiful through
out the war.
