Draft-Deferred
In Recent Cases
Again Face Quiz
Half of 50 Granted
Stoy Must Appear
Before Board Soon

More than half the SO men
granted occupational deferments by
the District Board of Appeal during
the week ending May 13 will have
to seek deferment again within a
month or two, 1t was learned today
Occupational deferments usually
are for six-month period, but
many of the men whose cases were
decided last month by the appeal
board had had deferments requested
for them as long ago as last De-
cember.
Requests Are Months Old.
The cases were not sent to the
appeal board until the men had
passed their preinduction physical
examinations. For that reason
many of the requests are now
months old. The appeal board
merely affirmed the deferments for
the period originally requested, with
the result that some of the defer
ments granted just last month will
expire this month.
Draft officials explained the de-
ferments were dated from the orig
inal request to keep the records
straight, to prevent men from gain
ing an advantage from the delay
and because the deferment Is grant
ed on the basis of the employers
need for the man during q spe-
Gifted period.
During the weeks actions reported
today. the appeal board granted SO
occupational deferments and denied
1874. More than half Of those denied
were for men under 26-most of
them at the Washington Navy Yard.
The appeal board also granted occu-
pational deferments to four men
available for limited service, grant,
ed four hardship deferments and
gave occupational deferments to
two men appealing as hardship
cases.
Deferments Denied to 16.
The appeal board denied hardship
deferments to Is men and denied
one occupational deferment request
ed by man available for limited
service.
In addition to acting on 229 appeal
cases, the appeal board reviewed 81
deferments granted by out-of- town
boards. On review, 13 of the 81 men
lost their deferments.

Ambulance Sale
Dispute Appears
To Be Settled
Bethesda Reported
Able to Care for
All Emergencies

The controversy over the sale by
the Bethesda Fire Board of an H.
year-old ambulance to the Takoma
Park Fire Department last January
appeared settled today.
The sale resulted in a charge by
Judge Albert E. Brault, Mon ;gomery
County civilian defense director
that the community was left with
out emergency ambulance service
A joint statement issued today by
the executive committee of the Fire
Board and special committee ap-
pointed by the Bethesda Chevy
Chase Lions Club to investigate the
situation pointed out that the Be-
thesda Fire Department is complete
ly equipped for first-aid service at the
scene of any emergency and will
continue to render this service
whenever occasion demands"
Ambulance Service Voted.
Meanwhile, the department has
voted to maintain and operate a
24-hour ambulance service, If an
aNbulance is made available.
The statement explained that the
respirator- -inhalator presented to the
department by the Lions Club in
1941 is in constant use and is carried
as a part of the equipment on one
Of the fire trucks.
The department also has available
hrst aid and antiseptic supplies,
splints, gas masks, necessary tools
for releasing any one caught In
buildings or automobile wrecks and
other equipment.
In addition, the department is
continuing the practice of having
It's paid personnel trained in first
aid. 1t also is the policy of the
department, the statement asserted
to see that transportation from the
scene of an emergency to a hospital
is available for injured persons re-
quiring such service after receiving
first aid.
Private Service Used.
In the past, when the departments
ambulance was undergoing repairs
and since December 10, 1943, when
the ambulance was withdrawn from
service, the department has 'sby pre-
arrangement" called on the P,nnph-
rey private ambulance service, it was
explained.
I'm no instance to date has the
private service been unable to re-
spond satisfactorily to the depart
ment's instructions when called. !"
the statement declared.
IF for any reason 1t were unable
to respond and other suitable trans
portation were not available with
out delay, transportation would be
completed by the departments truck
rendering the first aid service. The
truck carries a stretcher on which a
patient can be carried with reason
able comfort"
The decision to sell the ambulance
was caused by the age and condition
OF the vehicle, increasing manpower
difficulties and the @private and non
emergency character Of the vast ma
jority Of demands for the service"
The statement was signed by Capt.
Frederick o. Smith, president of the
Fire Board, and Judge Brault, a
member Of the Lions Club Investi-
eating Committee.
