D. T.. Officials 10 Ask
Nearby Draft Board
Leniency on Police

The possibility arose yesterday
that District officials may be forced
to call on selective service directors
of Maryland and Virginia for aid
because several nearby State draft
boards have been declining defer
ments to police and firemen certified
for deferment by the Review Com
mittee on Deferments.
Last month the Review Committee
certified 164 policemen and 81 fire.
men under the ages of 80 as eligible
for six months deferment as essen
tial to maintenance of public health
and safety.
According to Ralph A. Norton,
secretary of the District Agency
Committee, who said the District
would take every step necessary to
protect vital municipal services, a
number" of men were reclassified
in IA by local boards He said he
had been informed at District selec-
tive service headquarters that they
had been put in Al before the
boards were informed of the Review
Committees action.
Mr.. Norton said, yesterday, how
ever, several police and firemen
were reclassified after receipt by the
draft boards of the Review Com
mittee's certification. Mr.. Norton
said he would file appeals with the
nearby State boards involved. If
reconsideration is denied, he will
explore the possibilities of appealing
to the State directors.
The District is now short about
$50 policemen and 100 firemen.

Smith in Java when the war broke
out. Mr.. Smith, now Washington
representative for D. C. Andrews g.

forwarding company, formerly trav-
eled extensively for his firm and
Mrs. Smith accompanied him. He
had been in Manila and had had to

From Java, Mr.. Smith escaped to

Hearing on Stables
Meat Raid Continued
For Week by Turnage

United States Commissioner
Needham c. Turnage today con-
tinued for a week a new ration vio-
lation charge against Mrs. Jean R.
Moran, owner of the Stables Restau-
rant, 1922 E street NV. OPA en-
forcement agents and United States
marshals allegedly found illegally
purchased meat and other COM
modities in raid there last night:
The hearing was continued after
Mrs. Moran's attorney, T. Edward
O'Connen, reported that the Circuit
Court of Appeals had issued stay
of mandate pending an appeal of
its February % opinion in which it
had upheld an OPA suspension
order against the restaurant.
The suspension order originally
was issued by the OPA chief hear
ing commissioner last fall. It was
designed to prohibit the restaurant
from acquiring or selling any ra-
toned meat for the duration" of
rationing, and resulted, the OPA
said, from earlier charges that 1,700
pounds of choice beef were acquired
by the restaurant on an overdrawn
red-point account.
In questioning Carl W. Berueffy,
chief District OPA enforcement at
torney, Mr.. O'Connell brought out
at the hearing that the raid on the
restaurant last night was made on
the authority Of OPA rights of in
Spection" and warrant issued earlier
for the arrest of Mrs. Moran on ra-
ton violation charges. No search
warrant was issued for the raid, OPA
witnesses said. and this was cor
roborated by Mr.. Turnage.
Mrs. Moran, who renewed $500
bond, said before the hearing the
raid was "just like a kidnapping"
and added the OPA Investigators
had "swooped into my kitchen with
out showing any badges or creden-
tials whatever"
She denied she dealt in black
market meat and said the COM
modities found in the restaurant
were bought with red points con-
tributed by customers. Mr.. Berueffy
added that such purchases also were
illegal.
