quirements will be progressively less
strict as the ages increase"
Farmer Draft to Be Strict.
In drafting farm workers under
26. draft boards were told that the
Tydings amendment must be inter-
preted "in the light Of the demands
Of today" balancing the need of
agriculture against the need Of the
armed forces. Gen. Hershey said this
must be done even If 1t means addi-
tional food rationing.
Gen. Hershey said that men
physically unfit, or fit for limited
service, will remain in occupationally
deferred classes If they stay on their
war jobs. If they do not, he said,
"the indications are that by legisla-
tive or administrative action, or
both, means will be found to insure
that they do necessary work"
On the subject of farm defer
ments the draft director said: Each
Of us producing food can do more.
There are men and women who can
aid in food production who have
not done so; We can ration more
than we have, but there is no way
to increase the number Of young
men physically fit." ~
Cadets Will Be Deferred.
Men in the merchant marine have
not received blanket deferment in
the past, but have received indi-
vidual deferments in all age groups
because Of the great Importance Of
their work in supplying American
armed forces and Allies.
The maritime official said he be-
lieved men under 26 already in the
service and the several thousand
cadets in the merchant marine
training schools would continue to
be deferred. The order that no more
men under 26 could be enlisted, how
ever, was made effective as of April
l. The hundreds of instructors in
the training schools and the admin
istrative personnel of the service ap-
parently will get little If any con-
sideration.
The commission was told, it was
understood, that about TOO young
men in administrative and instruc-
tional work in the Sheepshead Bay
IN. " training school alone should
be replaced by AIS and women. The
official said he did not see how
woman could teach men how to run
a boat"
College Students in Doubt.
Meantime, selective service head
quarters, receiving queries on the
status of 4-F college students, said
that was policy matter which has
not been decided.
Various Government officials,
giving their personal opinions, dis
agreed on which 4-F students, if
any, will be considered to be in an
essential activity when the program
for forcing the less fit registrants
into essential activities is put into
full operation. At present selective
service defers a restricted number of
undergraduates in engineering and
scientific courses,
Gen. Hershey's statement that the
less fit must be stabilized in Jobs
which are contributing materially
and substantially to the war effort"
indicated that something in the
nature of the present essential
list" will be used as a standard. This
list includes many activities which
are not actual war production, but
are important in support OF the war
effort

] planes were downed by German
and Rumanian fighters during
the Bucharest attack
The Bucharest attack came after
an American raid on Budapest Mon
day and an earlier assault on Sofia.
Budapest also was hit by RAF
bombs Monday night.
I One cluster of bombs landed
among freight cars drawn up at a
siding and was believed to have de-
stroyed 80 units of rolling stock.
Three choke points in the yards
were reported hit squarely and
photo interpreters also claimed
bomb bursts among adjacent indus
trial buildings and nearby military
barracks. A roundhouse was said
to have been partly destroyed and
fires were left blazing in block of
warehouses 1.400 feet long.
II The yards form a figure eight and
lone locomotive depot at the south
fern end received several hits. Five
imain buildings were reported in
flames.
About 200 planes were reported
encountered during the raid and
one group put up desperate resist
ance, battling a Liberator formation
for l hour and 20 minutes. Anti
aircraft fire was described as mod
crate
While headquarters officers had
nothing to say about possible politi-
cal motives for the bombardment of
Bucharest, Budapest and Sofia in a
row, there was some speculation that
there was much more in the attacks
than the desire to destroy military
objectives in support of the Rus
slams.
Information reaching here through
nonmilitary but reliable channels in
dlcate the bombardments are adding
to the confusion and unrest already
reported raging in the Balkans in
the wake Of Germany's latest strong
arm moves.
In Italy, fighter-bombers set off a
large explosion in an ammunition
dump near Monte Libretti, 18 miles
northeast of Rome, while other
planes struck troop concentrations
and vehicles in Itri, 10 miles north
of Gaeta.

rounded up if not rounded out. Alb

the new problem of all coaches of

ported enthusiastically on the out

youngsters lack in experience, say
the coaches, is made up in the old
enthusiasm and pep.
At the end of the week all players
were in uniform for practice and
the lighter type of limbering. up had
turned into accumulative field run

Friday Wakefield was a big factor
in the Tigers double victory over

game he brought them from behind
with a grand slam homer in the
fifth inning to give Rufe Gentry
more than enough margin for a IA
victory.
The St. Louis Browns stayed in

back because of Detroit's double
win. The Browns are a game be-

The New York Yankees held their
spot as a contender, in third place,
three and a half games off the
pace, by beating the Cleveland In

the ninth inning, scored after Roy
Cullenbine muffed Bud Metheny's
