ferred District men under 26 are

from IA classifications while 26
other younger men were continued

approved seven deferments for
younger men and denied one. Ap-
proved for deferment on review
were Bureau of Standards labora-
tory mechanic, student in the
Howard University School of Den
tistry and several Navy Yard ma
chinists and toolmakers.
On the other hand, the appeal
board granted every deferment re-
quest considered for men over 30,
including 160 review cases.
In all, during that week the appeal
board acted on 88 appeal and 26O
review cases. Occupational defer
ments were granted A men, includ-
ing 37-year-old ice company driver
who sought deferment as minister
but wound up in IA.
Two men-a 25-year-old chauffeur
with the Army Engineers and clerk
for the British Ministry of Supply
Mission--were granted deferments
as hardship cases.

tional deferment.

Up Maj, Gen. Lewis II. Brer-
eton said today there were cas-
ualties among front line Ameri-
can troops in the massive bomb
ing pacing the Normandy at
tack but that these had been ex-
pected.
Bombs which fell among
American troops were from
planes crossing in late waves,
indicating the crews found the
target points obscured by smoke
and dust of previous explosions,
the commander of the u. S. 9th
Airforce told a press conference.
Brereton said an investigation
thus far indicated that heavy
bombers and one group of me-
diums dropped bombs into an
American sector short of the tar
get area. About SO planes were
involved.
The 9th and 9th Airforces had
made concentrated attack with
between $500 and 5000 planes
on an area only a fe,y miles
long and less than 500 yards
deep parallel to the st. Lo-
Periers highway.
The bulk of the bombs were
placed into the small area where
they were intended, but the gen.
eral said it was impossible to
put that number of planes into
anoperation of that sort and
have every one pick out its aim
ing points with perfect accur-
acy.
