Ray H. Everett, executive Sec

the comment, most girls under
20 are too immature to be running

women have been discussed by CIV
ic leaders for months but the dis

in press, pulpit and among gov

For More Alarm Clocks
BY the ASsociaten prars

By the Associated Press.
The War Production Board is
considering making limited quanti-
ties of brass and steel available to
boost alarm clock manufacture
slightly.
Consideration of the proposal fol-
lows a report by the Clock and
Watch Manufacturers Industry Ad-
visory Committee that substantial
increases in production of clocks
and watches cannot be undertaken
without interfering with war work.
The committee said output of
alarm clocks might be hiked Is or
20 per cent without impeding war
work If brass for clock parts and
steel for cases could be made avail
able. Present rate of production of
alarm clocks is 100000 a year.

Predraft 'PhYsica|s'
Begin as Boards Stiff
List Of 100000

A new draft procedure went into
effect throughout the Nation today,
with approximately 100000 men
still deferred in dependency groups.
Under the new setup, prospective
servicemen will be given a pre-
induction physical examination at
least three weeks before actual in
duction.
In the District during the latter
part of January approximately
half the men going to Fort Myer
were given pre- induction examina-
tions, while the remainder were in
Quoted Immediately. That procedure
was designed to build up a pool so
that other men could be given mere
time between their examination and
their induction.
Youth Deferments frightened.
Beginning February 8, men who
took their pre-induction examina-
tlons during January will start re-
porting to the Navy, while the Army
will start taking men under the new
procedure beginning February %.
Also effective today was the more
rigid deferment policy for youths
between the ages of 18 and 81. Only
young farmers, certain students
those in the maritime service and
Army Transportation Corps and
those specifically deferred by State
selective service directors will be
granted occupational deferments.
Meanwhile, selective service off,
clals estimated that 100000 men
deferred because of family
obligations were taken out of class
3-A and either put in some other
class or made available for induction
during the last two months.
2,500,000 on Dependency Lists.
Approximately 2,5OO,O00 men are
still deferred because of dependency
1t was estimated, but this number
is rapidly decreasing as the boards
reach the higher order numbers.
Figures for December show that
$4,000 fathers were inducted, an
equal number were put into AT;
63l 900 were given occupational de-
ferments; 1850 were deferred be-
cause of extreme hardship to their
The number of fathers inducted in
January was expected to reach a
higher total, since each month re-
duces the supply of nonfathers
available for induction.
Selective service previously re-
ported that 10000 fathers had been
lnducted up to January l. Only
10000 were inducted in October and
