Boards Empowered
To Give 6O-Day Stays
To Federal Fathers

Draft. boards finally have been
told they can grant temporary oc-
cupational deferments to fathers in
the Federal service SO long as the
deferments do not last more than
so days, or until March 81.
Federal agency Deferment Com
mittees had been instructed to get
the 60-day deferment requests to
draft boards before January IS, but
National Selective Service issued no
instructions explaining the setup to
draft boards until yesterday.
Under the executive order con-
trolling Federal deferments, the
agency Deferment Committees must
get approval from the Review Com
mittee Of the War Manpower Com
mission before asking deferments
but the boards were informed this
procedure is not necessary in the
case of the temporary deferments.
National Selective Service ex-
planned that the temporary defer
ments are intended to give the
agency committees enough time to
make requests for additional defer
ment and have these requests ap-
proved by the Review Committee.
Selective service emphasized that
its authorization of the 60-day
deferments does not constitute q
blanket deferment for Federal en-
ployes, since blanket deferments are
prohibited by law. ---
Although the Review Committee
reported It was getting thousands OF
requests for occupational deferments
10000 in one department alone
selective service apparently believes
it can act on all the requests by
March 81.
In the absence of formal instruc-
tions on the 60-day deferments
some boards are said to have been
violating the law by granting g.
month deferments on 60-day re-
quests, while others have been
ignoring all the requests on the
theory that the time consumed
under the new physical examination
procedure constitutes q sufficient
stay Of induction.

0PA May Ask WPB
To Allow Burninq Of
Old Ration Coupons
LocuI Office Reverted
To Former Practice Afte
Thefts Were Uncovered

In the face Of growing evidence
that the present system Of disposing
Of unused ration coupons is result
ing in serious leaks to black market
operators, the ONCE of Price Ad-
ministration is considering asking
the War Production Board to change
its policy that old ration coupons
be saved for the paper salvage pro-
gram, it was learned today.
Since the middle of December the
local OPA, 1t was disclosed, has been
burning its unused but still valid
coupons in basement furnace of its
executive Offices at 5601 Connecticut
avenue NV.
The decision to revert to the orig
inal practice of burning coupons was
reached following reports of the
disappearance of fuel oil and gaso-
line coupons worth 10000, 900 gallons
from a local paper concern which
had contract to chop and bale
paper for both the local and ma
tional OPA. Theft of the coupons
has since led to~the arrest of four
men here and issuing of warrants
for seven others in Pennsylvania.
Violation Admitted.
Robert K. Thompson, District
OPA director, admitted the burn
ing of coupons was in direct Dppo-
sition to the WPB's policy, but he
insisted that it was the 'only sure,
safe method of assuring us that
the coupons will not fall into the
hands of the wrong people"
Coupons are burned at head
quarters on an average of twice a
week, officials said, and two investi-
gators stand by as the bales are
tossed into the flames. AS further
precaution, the furnace chimney
has been covered with wire screen
to prevent any unburned coupons
from floating out.
Most of the coupons to be dis
posed Of are the result of tailor
ing" of gas ration sheets, although
there are a number of food ration
books turned in by persons going
into the armed services.
New Order Mapped.
Meanwhile, it was learned on good
authority that directive has been
prepared by the Budget Bureau
which would order fatty the salvage
of all coupons and other OPA cor
respondence. The WPB recommen-
dation, while it does not have the
full effect of an order, has been
adhered to rather strictly by other
OPA district offices.
WPB first urged participation Of
ration boards in its paper salvage
program last spring. Last November
10 it formally requested the OPA
to instruct ration boards to save
coupons rather than destroy them.
Just what will be the fate of the
proposed Budget Bureau directive,
in the light of recent disclosure of
thefts, is not known.

Reports Persist
|Dr. Gilbert Will
|Quit GaIiinger
Other Doctors
Also Believed
Set to Resign

Reports that Dr. Joseph L. Gilbert,
chief of the psychopathic ward Of
Gallinger Hospital, had offered to
resign, and that some action would
be taken before the end of the
week, persisted today as debate on
the big municipal institution con-
tinued.
Concern was voiced in some quar-.
ters about the threat of other GAL
1nger physicians to quit in protest
over political sniping," but the
chairman of the Senate District
Subcommittee which recommended
the custer OF five District officials
said that is not my worry"
Senator Holman, Republican, Of
Oregon, who made the Gallinger
investigation with Senators Bush
field, Republican, of South Dakota.
and Buck, Republican, of Delaware,
said reports that other physicians
were threatening to resign sound
like threats of a strike"
Strike Suggested.
He continued: Il never before
have heard of doctors going on
strike. They are supposed to be
professional people, interested in
the welfare of their patients. Maybe
am wrong; maybe they are not
professional people"
On the question as to where tho
District could get other physicians
to replace DR.. Gilbert, DR.. Charles
P. Cake, chief of the tuberculosis
ward, who resigned two days, ago.
or others, If they leave Gallinger,
Senator Holman said: That is not
my worry. We have nothing to do
with that"
DR.. Cake has agreed to delay his
leaving until the Commissioners
could make a search for successor,
Reports were circulated, but uncon-
nrmed officially, that DR.. Gilbert had
volunteered to resign but that ac-
ton was deferred.
Mason Out of Town.
Commissioner Guy Mason, who
supervises health and hospitals, left
Washington Tuesday afternoon to
visit his wife in North Carolina.
where she has been for several
months because of i'll health. He is
due back at his desk tomorrow. 1t
is expected the Gallinger problems
will come up for action sometime
tomorrow.
DR.. Gilbert issued a statement
yesterday in which he merely said:
In view of the shortage of doc
tors and other much-needed help.
l am giving consideration only to
the care of sick people"
DR.. Rutland said that he had
talked to DR.. Cake and received
assurances that he would stay until
replacement was found. In his for
NAL statement of resignation Tues
day night, DR.. Cake said, "I have
agreed to continue at the hospital
temporarily as my departure would
leave no one to care for 215 patients
in the tuberculosis division"
