Pleas for Deferment
OF $4,000 Workers
Under 26 Expected
66, 900 Merchant Sailors
And $4,000 Miners
To Be Included
Is D. C. MEN OVER 26 indicted by
Navy despite draft headquarters
instructions. Page B-1
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Draft defermentS will be re-
quested for about $4,000 men
under 26 in war industries, mer-
chant shipping and coal mining,
manpoWer officials predicted to-
day, as machinery for retaining
the "irreplaceable" young regis
trants in the war effort began to
take final shape.
The estimated total of deferments
to be asked was somewhat larger
than earlier figures, but it included
about $4,000 young merchant seamen,
men already trained and on ships
and those in training schools on
April l.. The list also includes an
estimated 10000 coal miners for
whom Draft Director Lewis B.
Hershey announced special 9O-day
induction stays will be asked.
Exclusive of shipping and mining,
deferment requests will total about
$4,000. These are men actually en-
gagged in research or manufacture
OF weapons, synthetic rubber, 100
octane gasoline, some transporta-
ton and few other programs held
most important in support of the
war. That figure of 10000 may be
compared to early estimates that de-
ferment of only 10000 would be
needed in war production.
IS Per Cent Face Induction.
The new estimate of deferments
means that about 3 out of 4 men
under 26 now deferred outside of
agriculture will be inducted into the

they were helping build.
SECOND-It was an inspiring
and triumphant refutation of the
many envious and unrealistic criti.
cisms levelled from other parts of the
nation at Detroit's war production
efficiency.
EVERYBODY who saw the show
IL must have been thrilled at the
amazing visual evidence of United
States Army air power produced by
Detroit and Michigan factories which
up to couple of years ago never had
turned out single fighting plane.
The air show was the evidence.
More than TWO MILLION persons
saw it and told their friends and their
neighbors about it.
This newspaper is justly proud
that it was privileged to sponsor
such magnificent and patriotic ex-
position at such crucial time in the
fortunes of our country.
THIS newspaper is grateful to the
L many busy war industries whose
participation as exhibitors made the
air show possible.
This newspaper is especially
grateful for the staunch CO operation
of the Army Air Forces Materiel
Command and the Aero Club of
Michigan.
And, to be candid, we are a little
complacent over the fact that al
though no other Detroit newspaper
publicized it The Detroit Times alone
was able to direct so very many peo-
pie to the historic Army Air Show
We are confident that all who
viewed it have now new appreeia-
ton of the deadly might of American
air forces and the indomitable
energy Of Detroit and Michigan in.
dustry, in war as in peace.

The Air Show Ends

THE Army Air Show sponsored by
l. The Detroit Times in co-opera
ton with the Army Air Forces
Materiel Command and the Aero
Club of Michigan, closed last night
at the City Airport after an almost
incredible run.
Since it's opening June 2 well over
two million people have visited it.
These figures are hard to digest
because they comprise just about the
entire population of Detroit and
Wayne County. AS matter of fact
though they are conservative.
They were compiled after prudent
and conscientious checking by army
authorities and officials of such large
exhibitors as the Ford Motor Co. and
General Motors, who employed
trained crews specifically to check
the daily attendance.
And the figures are eloquent in
their proof of the tremendous public
interest and enthusiasm in Detroits
industrial war production.
CERTAINLY every man, woman
~ and child in Wayne County did
not see the air show Hence it is an
unacceptable conclusion that those De
troiters who did see it returned again
and again and also that it drew
visitors from all over Michigan and
from nearby cities in neighboring
states and lower Ontario.
The attendance record is partic
ularly gratifying for two main
reasons.
FIRST-It afforded an opportu.
nifty for the 100000 workers in army
aircraft factories in this area to view
their finished product in leisurelY
manner. Many of them, laboring on
assemblies or special small parts,
never previously had had chance 20

II is true that our troops al

from lack OF the right kind OF
sufficient quantity of equip
ment. but I'm sure that you will
find that IT has never been nor
ever can be due.oto the failure
to sell bonds. The troops will
get their supplies. bonds or no
bonds. The government will see
to that. Physical difficulties
and poor planning but never
financial failure, have been the
cause of our troubles.
If we really want 10 back

"The purchase of extra tOar bonds
during the Fifth War Loan drive is
an opportunity for the home front to
back the men overseas lUho are on
the brink of the, greatest clash OF
armed forces in the history of the
worid."- Secretary Of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau Jr.. in a message
to William Randolph Hearst.
TT is the sacred duty of every
L American to participate III this
Fifth War Loan drive to the limit of
his or her pocketbook
There is only one way for those of
us who are not fighting to stand side
by side with our sons. brothers,
fathers, loved ones and friends.
That is to back them on the
beachheads and soil of France with
BONDS.
Without ,noHey-and plenty ofitH
the United States could not haUe
launched, With its British and Cana
dian Allies, the greatest military Of
fensiUe in all history.
That offensive you are paying for
in BONDS
Without you and your bond pur.
chasing power this war cannot be
fought to a successful end.
THE American paratroopers who
L land behind the enemy lines in
France are supported in the air not
only by apparatus but also by.
BONDS.
BONDS bought the parachutes
BONDS provide paratroopers
with safety apparatuses.
BONDS build battleships, guns,
airplanes.
BONDS buy the maximum of
safety for all the fighting sons of
W uSlC SQlA.
There lies, ahead of us the most
tremendous job that any country has
eUer undertaken.
It is the conquest of the road to
Berlin.
We have the brave men, the great
commanders, the spirit and the
physical will.
But we need more money to back
our boys and their commanders.
You were going to buy an extra
summer suit or dress that you do not
need.
Put that money into BONDS to
back your fighters.

OF course. if the Republican

Therefore. he could reasonably
