Deferment Plea for Father of 6,
Aged 81, Lost; CIossed LAO
Government Request for Draft Delay
Disappears En- Route to Local Bourd

Because a Government deferment
request got lost some place between
the Treasury Department and Dis
trict Draft Board No. II, 37-year-
old father of six children has been
made available for induction by the
District Board of Appeal, it was
learned today.
Leon E. Shelton probably will not
be inducted, however, because his
draft board thinks it has enough
younger men to fill calls before he
reaches his 38th birthday. But he's
in lao for noncombatant Army
duty just the same.
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, where Mr.. Shelton is en-
|ployed as freight handler, said it
had put in a form which amounts
to deferment request in June and
the Treasury Department said it had
forwarded the form later that
month to his draft board.
Didn't Reach Draft Board.
Draft Board No. II said it hac
received no request for his defer
ment, Although men over 80 in
Government departments are eligi-
bic for deferment because of their
age, neither draft board nor an
appeal board can grant a Federal
employe occupational deferment
unless a request is submitted.
Mr.. Shelton, according to draft
and appeal board records, was put

Food Waste WARNINGS
Held Red Cross Task

Teaching people not to waste food
was seen as an important part of
the work of Red Cross Chapter nu-
triton programs by Miss Helen
Everett, assistant director of Nutri-
ton Service for the Eastern area, in
her report to yesterdays session OF
the five-day Chapter Workers Insti-
tute in the Chamber of Commerce
Building.
Another topic of discussion at yes
terday's meeting of the 93-chapter
institute of the Maryland, North
eastern Virginia and District Red
Cross, was volunteer special serv-
ices, under the direction of Mrs. F.
Trubee Dawson, area administrator.
"If two slices of bread are wasted
each week in home, the amount
of bread wasted in year totals
100000 loaves," Miss Everett
pointed out. "In spite of an abun-
dance of food, many families are
still poorly fed because they do not
know the, relationship of food to
health" she added.
Discussing ways in which the
chapter may promote effective use
of the food supply, Miss Everett
urged chapters to make definite
plans for meeting the nutritional
needs of their areas, keeping in mind
both the immediate and postwar
food picture.
Tomorrows session will be devoted
to first-aid, water safety and acci-
dent prevention service, concerning
which Bernard Hardy, assistant di-
rector of the service in this area, will
lead the discussion, and public in
formation service, under the guild
ance of Edwin H. Powers, area direc-
tor. Robert A. Sandberg, Eastern
area director of fund raising, will
discuss his department.

Copt. Henry Brown
Overcome Arm
Injury to Fly

A young Arlington flyer, who was
not allowed to. take part in student
athletics because of an arm injury,
has become the leading American
fighter pilot in the European area.
Capt. Henry W. Brown, q, son of
Mrs. Addison Grant, SOFT North
Twenty fifth street, Arlington, has
destroyed 80 German planes-16 in
the air and IA on the ground-to
become ''the hottest fighter pilot in
the European theater," the Asso-
ciated Press reported from London.
A member of a Mustang group
with the 9th Air Force, Capt. Brown
gained his latest credit yesterday
while strafing an airfleld In South
ern Germany. He had flown as a
bomber escort, but met no opposition
from the Luftwaffe.
Worked In FCA.
Capt. Brown, former Farm Credit
Administration clerk, became one of
the leading aces of the Washington
area last April with the report of his
18th victory in the air. At that
time his mother told how she> had
kept him out of high school athletics
because of an arm injury.
When he was 5 years old Capt.
Browns left arm was broken and in
healing the forearm was pulled into
an unnatural position. He was
afraid, his mother said, that he
could not get into the air forces, but
on taking his examination the doc
tors found that he was "just as good
as any one else"
The report of Capt. Browns 30th
victory also confirms his promotion

depression, and still later to $50.
After conditions improved, it went
up to $99 month and recently, he
declared, the rental agent refused to
accept SIPS a month. He said he
was given ''the impression" the least
that would be. accepted was 5000 a
month.
He declared he had invested more
than $1,000 in plumbing and other
facilities for the shop. where he
once operated four chairs but now
has but two because Of q shortage
