10 Of 81 Lose
Draft Defern1enl
With Review
Appeal Board Acts
Despite Requests
Of Federal Agencies

Government workers seeking de.
ferments have run into another
hurdle, it was disclosed today when
the latest District Board of Appeal
report showed that 10 out of the 81
men who lost their deferments or
appeal board review were men whose
deferments had been officially re-
quested by Government agencies and
approved by local draft boards.
Reporting on its decisions for the
week ending March II, the appeal
board said it had reversed local draft
board actions in the cases of several
Federal Bureau of Investigation
agents and technicians, a War Pro-
duction Board official, State De-
partment official "a Weather Bureau
meteorologist, three Coast and Geo
detic Survey technicians and two
Interior Department engineering
aides.
Review Required.
Review by the appeal board was
required because the men work here
and were deferred by draft boards
in other areas. In addition, the
appeal board refused to grand defer
ments to four other Government
workers who had been placed in IA
by local boards and whose cases were
automatically carried to the appeal
board. Two other War Production
Board officials were included in this
group.
The WPB men affected by the
boards actions were James Arthur
jacobson, SO, special assistant on in
dustrial analysis in the Office of the
chairman; Albin A. Meyrowitz, 26
acting section chief, metals ano
minerals division, and Jacob N. Hall
30. principal industrial specialist
transportation unit.
so Denied Deferments.
In all its appeal actions, the board
granted So and denied so defer
ments. Occupational deferments
were granted to 27 men and
denied to As. Seven men were
granted hardship deferments and
five were denied deferment on that
ground. Two men appealed sue
cessfully to class lao for non
combatant duty, while one regis
trant, seeking classification in AZ
as a conscientious objector, was
placed in lao. The appeal board
also denied one request for defer
ment as minister.
Scanning variety of occupations
ranging from cafeteria cook to dip
lomats. the appeal board denied the
appeal of Eric J. Walling, 27, an
interpreter at the Finnish Legation
for occupational deferment, but up
held the deferment granted by a
local board to Cody Egli, 81, an en-
ploye in the Swiss legations de
partment of German interests"

Had Original Ideas.
Count Korbyski was the pro.
FOUNDER of some highly origina
ideas on the mechanism of human
thinking. He had convinced one Of
the most broad-minded scientists Of
his generation, the late DR.. William
A. White, that his concepts at leas
merited fair trial and he had beer
given quarters for his work anc
equipment at st. Elizabeth's.
DR.. White had become fascinated
and had spent much of his spare
time assisting Count Korbyski. The
counts wife also had been interested
There was popular impression, al
least, that this interest was respon.
sible for their difficulties. It hac

River, the other in a condition
known as "fugue" which occasionally
is encountered in soldiers here.

and found the searchlight of pub.

comprehension of American news
paper methods. Angrily he told re-
porters who besieged his laboratory
that they had ruined the work OF
lifetime. DR.. White was criticized
for aiding him. The great psychia-
trist defended his right to foster a
promising idea, but admitted that
he himself did not quite under
stand Count Korbyski's concepts.
Pursued Research Elsewhere.
Shortly afterward the count left

reporters who had experienced his
quite justified wrath-never expect

and on through the years papers
have been read at meetings of the
American Association for the Ad-

difficult to comprehend by laymer
and even scientists in closely allied
fields.
These papers have dealt with a
so-called science of "semantics

different from that in which it is
understood by anthropologists and

hardly could imagine anything more
