Selective Service In Warning To Employers
Protection Should Be Provided in War Industries for
 Men Under 30; Armed Forces Requirements Up

On advice from Selective Service that requirements for the Armed Forces of men under 30 have been substantially increased, Charles A. Newton, District Manager, WIPE, to- day notified all companies engaged in war work in this area of steps necessary to provide protection for Q vital hard core" of workers, l8 through 29, now engaged in war pro- duction ana war-supporting activ- tiles.
 The prospective draft which is ex- pected to put 100000 more 2A's and 2Bs in the 26 through 20 group in uniform by July 1, on the basis of Army requirements Of l50,000 addi- tional men per month, MT. Newton pointed out, obviously will make in- roads into manpower in this section unless employers act promptly and submit lists of their Indispensable, irreplacable" men to the proper certifying authorities by March IS.
 Employers are asked to list em- ployes of i8 through % years now classified in PA or 2B in consecutive order of their importance to the ef- sective operation of the plant in which they are employed, giving name, date of birth, occupation, Selective Service order number, lo- cal board. and present classification together with the name and address of the plant, its certifying agency, and total employment as Of January 1, i045.
 They are instructed to send the list in triplicate with four copies of Revised Form ABA tSpeciaD for only those men for whom deferment is requested, to WIPE or his sponsor ing agency or service.
 This procedure replaces procedure now in effect for the age group l8 through %, MT. Newton said.
 All state, county, and local gov- ernmental units will deal directly with Selective Service in requesting deferment of employees, as will in- dustries classified as essential but with no federal sponsoring agency.
 AS an authorized certifying ofii- cer, the WIPE district manager will closely supervise the program. He Is authorized to certify Revised Form ABA (SpeclaD for an aggregate of IS per cent of the total number of names included in all lists submitted

New Bedrford, Mass, March l. tUP)--A request to halt the War Manpower Commissions labor draft In New Dc6rord was on President Roosevelt's desk today, only four days before a court was to rule on the legality of the process,
 Suggesting labor-management conference to solve manpower short- ages at two hlgh-priorlty tire cord plants, Mayor Arthur N. Hartman of New Bedford asked the president In telegram to lend all this non- sense"
 "There is distinct possibility that al the WING wishes can be accomplished by getting yarn from other mills instead of transferring workers" the message said.
 A recent offer by textile mills, 90 of whose workers have been ordered to transfer to Fisk and Firestone plants, to supply 100000 pounds of yarn weekly for heavy-duty military tires was turned down,
 The nations first legal test of new manpower policies will be made in U. s. district court Monday when n CIO petition for a preliminary and permanent injunction against the WNfC is heard.
 Meanwhile, the appeals of the drafted workers were being heard by O WING panel. The hearing was interrupted yesterday when an AFL official refused to let members of his union testify.
 Accusing the WING of "Gestapo tactics," s. P. Jason of the New Bedford Central Labor union said the government agency had mo right to herd workers into q room and cross-examine them like pris- oners of war.
 "You have the people scared" he told the appeals panel. They don't have to answer your questions until congress passes a national work or fight bill.
 There Is nothing labor and man. agement in New Bedford cannot set- tle between themselves, without this blundering government agency Step- ping in," he said.

 We made our bombing run at . speed of only about 300 miles an hour. But wo weren't trying for speed. In Q previous strike. we were told, the pilots really opened up. though stlll below tho planes ca. paclty, and found that the Invader was too fast, at 10000 feet altitude, for the available bomb sight.
 It was on this previous strike that our speedy p.%0b, stimulating an attack on the Invaders, found time for only one difficult pass at the formation before the boInbers completed their mission, banked and dove Into real speed, and streaked for home.
 But bombing Is only one phase of the Invaders versatility. The other is strafing, For that the A-26 can be given alternative arma- ments. The combinations range from as many as ten 50 calibre ma. chine guns, through four machine guns and two high velocity 37-mm, cannons, to six machine guns and one 76-inIn cannon.

Army Launches Swift, Versatile A-26 Invader For Bombing And Strafng Attacks On Enemy

end of the bombing run. The rest of the armament Is fixed Co point forward and Is operated by the pic lot for offensive purposes. If the defensive guns are not needed for that purpose they can bo added Co the complement for straflng.
 This unprecedented straflng equip ment is combined with . speed, at tree-top level, such that no anti- aircraft weapon could touch the Inc vader except by intense concentra- ton or accident, and few pursuit planes could overtake it. With tho maneuverabllity of which Invader pilots boast, the plane Is capable of doing great damage to the enemy with minimum risk to It's crew. .n addition to these safety factors, tho A.26 is equipped with heavy armor plate.
 The Invader has been in limited use over France and Germany since last October. In view of the present status of the war, the characteris- tics of the plane, and the fact that the simulated bridgehead we att tacked was Japanese, 1t seems cer- tain that the Japs will see much more of this plane, to their discom- fort than the Germans will.
 The demonstration here was put on by tho First Air Forces 66th Combat Crew Training Wing, com manded by General Robert 0. Oli- yer, who got his star as combat flier. He wound up his critique, afterward, with the comment:
 "lf you can do over there what you did here today, you'll never have to go back Q second time to do a job not done right the first time."

Compromise Postponed
BY R. H. sHACKFORD

Mexico City, March 1.--(UP)--The United States postponed today the offering of It's compromise on the request of Latin American countries that 1t join in guaranteeing the present boundaries of all the Amer icas.
 The U. 8. proposal probably will be offered tomorrow. It includes two parts:
 1. The inter- American conference would declare that any disturbance during the present war would pre- judice the war effort of the United Nations.
 2. The Americas would work out after the world wide peace confer in San Francisco in April an ap- propriate treaty for mutual guaran- tees of borders in this hemisphere which would conform with the new World Oraanigation Plan.
 The compromise was understood to be acceptable to Latin American delegates at the conference here, including those from the 3 ccun.
