SACRAMENTO, May 13. UP)-
Colonel Kenneth H. Leitch, state
director of selective service, said
Saturday that 81 900 California men
IS years of age and over who are
now in draft class IA will be con-
sidered for deferment and stays of
induction will be ordered for those
of the group now under orders to
report to the armed services.
Instructions to this effect have
been telegraphed to all local boards
who are scheduled to deliver men
during the next 10 days, Leitch said.
The instructions, he said, are in
line with the new national draft
policy announced in Washington
this week. National directives to
carry out the policy have been de-
livered TO some boards already and
will be received by others shortly,
he said.
LOCAL BOARDS ADVISED
The California local boards also
have been advised that May and
June draft calls are to be filled
100 per cent with men under 26
and volunteers, Leitch said The
state has a backlong of 22,000 men
l8 to rs in class IA at the present
time, he said.
Also, Leitch said that California
will share in the national draft
pool of men under 26 which is
expected to last throughout this
year barring changes in the plans
of the armed forces. The calls fol
the rest of the year will be ad-
iusted between states so that all

THE PLANE INDUSTRIES FUTURE

Before the war fewer than $50 planes carried all aviation passengers and cargo in this country What of the future? The factories producing over 10000 planes of various types month. It seems improbable than more than 1000 commercial planes will be in service here for some years after peace comes Nor are the immediate possibilities of inter- national travel any brighter. If according to the prediction of Edward Warner, an eminent authority, 600 persons travel each day between Europe and North America from fifty to hundred planes would be sufficient to handle them, depending on the carrying capacity Consider also the huge number of Army airplanes which the Government will sell after the

COOLING CONGRESS

It looked for a time as though David Lynn, popular and resource full capitol architect, would have to dust off all those electric fans and motors he stored away with the advent of air-cooling.
 However, thanks to the generos- ity of WIPE and boss Donald Nelson, this won't be necessary. Nelson has just okayed an order which will make it possible for members of Congress to work in their accus- toned aircooled comfort this sum- mer, though both houses are ex- pected to be in recess during most of July and August
 No press releases were issued, but the War Production Board allocated l4,000 pounds of freon-12 refriger- ating gas for the cooling systems of the Capitol and Congressional office buildings. This, with some what larger quantity which Archi- tect Lynn already has on hand, will be enough to keep Capitol Hill air conditioned for the summer
 Just how the deal was finagled is something of a mystery, for the WIPE has a ban on the allocation of freon-12 for conditioning in offices. This gas is critical com modity, because it is the best known chemical for insecticides used by troops as malarial deterrent Since the war started, the air-cool- ing systems of most office build ings, including the White House have been operated with carrene, a refrigerant not affected by WIPE restrictions.
 Lynn says he plans to use the precious gas sparingly and will keep the air conditioning shut off from all parts of the Capitol and office buildings not in daily use during the summer, including the Senate and House chambers Nevertheless, a lot of other people wish they could get it.

Shortage of Doctors
(New York Times

(New York Times)
 Under its modified ruling the Army has reduced its quota of medical and dental students by 50 per cent Instead of allocating $500 trainees to these schools, had been planned originally, only 2,800 are obtaining occupatona deferments for students this to be admitted Coupled with the growing difficulty w. C. Rappeye, Dean of the College of Physicians and reduction may prove serious. In the opinion of Dr. Surgeons, the enrolment of students in our medical schools may drop by one-third with corresponding decline in the number of graduates. Within three years the country may experience decided shortage ous qualified doctors will be needed during the in physicians and dentists. That may prove danger postwar era not only in this country but abroad.
 Facing a smaller student body, the medical schools are planning to return to their former practice of admitting freshmen once year instead of once every nine months at present. This will still further reduce the total number of graduates that will be available for future service Every effort should be made to safeguard the medical students, while at the time the authorities must look to the future As Dr. Rappleye points out, under the pressure of the manpower shortage it may be im- possible deferments for civilian students to enter the medical and dental professions. It takes three years at present to train doctor that may seem like long way off when the call comes for the local draft board to fill its quota each month But unless sufficient supply of civilians is permitted to enter the medical schools the country faces shortage of doctors

Good aspects conflicting with adverse planetary influences today are more favorable to aviation than to movements of seagoing craft. HEART AND HOME: AS noted careers end, new leaders will gain fame before autumn. Women will prove their ability to assume high positions in public service. In the field of diplomacy they will achieve recognition and success. @
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS In the wartime whirligig persons belonging to the learned professions will take back seat as men and women of technical knowledge and business training attain high places in poli- tics and finance.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Efforts to transfer generals or admirals to the political arena will be unfortunate this year Among candidates for the office of President, a man who has travelled far, written popular book and talked necessarily on pub lie affairs is likely to be disappoint- cd in his ambitions. The stars seem to presage for him persistent prom | thence which goes unrewarded INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Although April has been a month of severe fighting, the United Ma tions will find that May brings ex- traordinary conditions even more exacting than those of the past.
