mission named to investigate Ger

about 100000 persons had been ex-
terminated by the Germans in the
region of Lvov, in the Ukraine.
Those killed, the bulletin said,
included not only Soviet citizens
but also nationals of Czechoslovakia,
Yugoslavia, Holland, Great Britain
and the United States, who had
been taken to Lvov from concen-
tration camps in Germany.
Himmler Called "Inspirer."
"Chief inspirer and organizer of

Care Urged by Leahy
In Drafting Older Men
lin Essential Work

With the national emphasis on
persuading older men to fill the
jobs now being done by men in
the 26-29 age group, District Draft
Director William E. Leahy told draft
boards yesterday that men 80 and
over in jobs on the new list of
essential activities should be given
most careful consideration" for oc-
cupational deferments regardless of
how long they have held those jobs.
"As you know" he wrote District
boards, "registrants in this age
bracket have been continually en-
couraged to accept more essential
employment and when they have
done so their short period of en-
ployment should not eliminate the
possibility of securing an occupa-
tional deferment."
Backs New Directive.
Backing up the new national d.
rective, which makes it clear that
the same liberal standards for de-
ferring older men still prevail, Mr..
Leahy told the boards that older
men also may be considered for de-
ferment when they are engaged in
locally needed" work.
"It is obvious" Mr.. Leahy added.
that both the local and appeal
boards in the District are well quail
ifled to determine for themselves
what work of a local nature is &C
tually needed to insure that the
war effort and the civilian health,
safety and interest is not impaired
to an injudicious degree"
To clear up any confusion on the
status of the Districts older draft
eligibles Mr.. Leahy said that
wholesale reclassification" of de-
ferred men over 30 is not neces-
sary at the present time.
Check on Absenteeism.
Meanwhile, in Maryland, State
Draft Director Henry c. Stanwood
ordered local boards to enforce more
rigidly the policy requiring cancel
lation of occupational deferments of
persistent absentees" in war indus
try.
Maryland employers, Col. STAN
wood explained, will be held respon-
sible for reporting repeated absen-
teeism "for inexcusable reasons" to
draft boards and a workers absentee
record will be one of the first consid-
erations when deferment is re-
uueSted.

Illegally wearing uniform of the

During the latter half of 1914, the

wearing of a uniform was 155 per
cent above the corresponding Pc
RODS of the three previous years.
Some of the frauds perpetrated
by these individuals are almost un-
believable, for they are completely
lacking in patriotism and respect for
decent law-abiding society,"" Mr..
Hoover said.
He added that the best way to
spot a faker is to ask for his Gre
dentials. If he refuses or acts sus-
piciously, report him to the FBI or
some other law enforcement agency,
