ployes whose ages range from q
to % have been denied occupational
deferments and have been placed
in LA by the District Board of
Appeal, local Selective Service head
quarters announced today.
The board acted on 400 appeal
and review cases during the week
ending November IL.
In fourth case, the board re-
versed an occupational deferment
for an out-of-town mana 22-year-
old engineering craftsman for the
Commerce Department. His defer
ment had been requested by the
department, but it was denied by
a 80 vote. He is not married, ac-
cording to selective service.
The records showed the three
transit employees, two of them bus
drivers and the third a streetcal
operator, were married but had nc
children.
Two other registrants under 81
years on review won 2-B occupa-
tional deferments at the request oi
the Navy Department. Employed
at the Naval Research Laboratory
one is 26-year-old associate chem.
ist and the other a 27-year-olo
physicist. Both are single.

review-in war production anc
found physically suited only fol
limited military service. A similar
deferment was granted a 21-year-
old Navy Yard toolmaker, also or

The board also reviewed and af-
f1rmed $50 occupational deferments
of out-of-town registrants 80 years

Schweinhaut Hearinq
Put OFF,; Pe||ey Lawyer
Opposes Nomination

William j. Powers, a Chicago at
torney who has been representing
William Dudley Peliey, former Sill
yer Shirt leader, in the mass sedi-
ton trial here, appeared before a
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee to-
day to oppose the confirmation of
Henry A. Schweinhaut as a District
Court justice.
A hearing on the nomination, sent
to the Senate last week by President
Roosevelt, was to have been held to-
day by the subcommittee, but it was
postponed until December 8 because
only one committee member was
present.
This was Senator LANCER, Re-
publican, of North Dakota, who has
taken the floor twice in recent weeks
to condemn the conduct of the
sedition trial and to demand that
Attorney General Biddle call it off
as mistake.
Senator MeCarran. Democrat, of
Nevada, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee and the subcommittee
on the Schweinhaut appointment,
was out of the city and Senator
Chandler, Democrat, of Kentucky
the third subcommittee member,
could not attend.
Mr. Powers told reporters he was
pleased that Senator LANCER post
poned consideration since 1t would
give him more time to prepare
arguments against the Schweinhaut
nomination.
| Until today there was no known
opposition to the nomination and
a favorable report was anticipated
Mr. Schweinhaut, a native of the
District and who now resides in
Chevy Chase. Md, is a special as
sistant to the Attorney General and
formerly was an assistant United
States attorney here.

Cigarette Shortage
Not Due 10 Exports,
u. ). Officials Say
BY the Associated Press.


Government tobacco experts cited
statistics today to refute claims of
some smokers that exports of tobacco
and cigarettes under lease-lend and
other programs are to blame for the
smoking famine.
War Food Administration officials
said tobacco exports have been a
smaller portion of annual produc-
ton since the war than before.
Before the war, foreign sales of
lcigarette-type tobaccos ranged from
about IS to As per cent of the total
domestic output. Since the war, ex-
ports have ranged from 20 to 80
per cent.
Only a very small portion of war
time exports have moved overseas
in the form of cigarettes, the bulk
being shipped as leaf tobacco for
manufacture abroad.
Tobacco experts said the shortage
is due to a combination of factors
including:
/. More civilians are smoking
more cigarettes than ever before
War jobs and war strains make
people more tired, impelling them
to smoke more.
2. More soldiers are smoking
more cigarettes than ever before.
8. Uneven distribution due to
wartime population changes.
4. Black markets and boarding
| The extent of such practices is not
considered great, however.
S. Inability of manufacturers to
expand production sufficiently to
meet wartime demands. due to lack
of facilities, labor and packaging
material.
| 6. Some accumulation of supplies
in shipping centers-particularly for
armed forces overseas-due to war
time shipping difficulties and priori-
ties for ammunition, gasoline, oil
food and other essential materials.

backwoodsy from trying to run
a Connecticut farm that he does
not have the large cosmopolitan
attitude toward our imposing

more abstract phases of mo-

talk about things like that, or

CERTAINLY among the best
~ things OF the table are the
fruits-apples. peaches, pears.
grapes. lemons. oranges.
And they are among the most
healthy.
Talk about accessory food fac
tors-the fruits lead the list OF
accessory foods.
They are the vitamin bearers,
the mineral bearers, the bearers
of heaven knows how many dif-
ferent kinds of refresherS 10
health and happy living that
have not yet been differentiated
by the biological chemists.
You cannot make a complete
meal of fruit.
They contain little protein,
the flesh building chemical. and
almost no fat,
But the sugars they contain
are sure fire energizers.
They are mostly simple su.
rars which enter the blood
quickly after being swallowed
and spark like high octane gas.
In vitaSnins and minerals the
fruits lead all foods. however,
natures own and greatest medi-
cincs.
Nearly all the fruits contain
vitamin c. technically the anti
scurvy vitamin.
One doesn't like 10 think OF
II as associated with such
repulsive word as scurvy, how
ever.
1t is the freshener OF the
blood, the brightener OF the
eyes and lips and tongue and
the refurbisher OF the skin.
Vitamin A. while not so plen-
\ tiful. is found in apples, in good
Equality in peaches. some In
pears. prunes and tangerines.
Vitamin B is also found in
apples, canteloupes. grapes, ber-
ries, lemons. peaches, pears.
There are two varieties OF vita
min B, water soluble and fat
soluble. and naturally the water
soluble sort predominates IN
fruits.
Nobody need worry about his
body getting enough minerals as
long as he eats plenty OF fruit.
Calcium, PHOSPHORUS. Iron
and sulphur are the essential
minerals-the fundamentals, as
one might say. and there Is
hardly any fruit you can name
that hasn't some or all OF them

Apples are in the list of the
