War Bond Appeals
Will Be Increased
For Next Quarter
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The appeal to BUY War Bonds"
will be more thunderous in April,
May and June than ever before.
Phrases like "the greatest use of
advertising ever known" flew around
at a two-day meeting of State war
finance representatives yesterday
and today.
The Treasury said that even if
the fighting in Europe should end
during the Seventh War Loan Drive
that is, before July lit would
not decrease the need for War Bond
sales.
AS a result the State leaders were
cautioned to be ready to pour on
extra zeal in the event of We day.
Two major reasons were given by
the Treasury to explain why it will
be just as vital to sell bonds after
the European fighting is over:
/. War production will continue
at "stratospheric levels; troops
must be transported vast distances
to the Pacific theater and re-
equipped with the latest weapons.
2. The national income will con-
tinue high, and civilian goods will
continue scarce, meaning it still will
be necessary to control imitation.
With another $4,000, 100000 goal
- including record $1,000, 900 900
for individual investors-the drive
will last seven weeks, May IA
through June 30. In addition, pay
roll savings from April 9 through
July will count in the totals.

Ban on Border-Line
Doctors Certificates

The Board of Medical Examiners
of Maryland has lifted for the
duration of the war its ban against
issuance of so-called "borderline
certificates" which permit District
physicians to practice in nearby
Maryland without the necessity OF
taking out complete Maryland
license.
In disclosing this today District
Health Officer George C. Rutland
who has protested the Maryland
ban of last October, predicted that
the District of Columbia Commits
sion on Licensure would take sim
liar action at its meeting next Mon
day and would rescind the District
ban against issuing such certificates
to Maryland physicians.
The Maryland boards action was
welcomed by the District Medical
Society, whose secretary, Theodore
Wiprud, declared eve are glad the
situation has been cleared"
The Maryland board rescinded its
ban against the certificates at a
meeting March l, following a con-
ference recently at Annapolis, Md,
between its board members, dele
gates to the Maryland Legislature
DR.. Rutland and Mr.. Wiprud.

Bug Found Crawling
On Constitution Draft
Identified as Beetle

The bug found crawling on the
Constitution in its case in the Lii
brary of Congress Saturday by two
sightseeing sailors was identified
yesterday by DR.. E. A. Back of the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine of the Agriculture De-
partment as a "black carpet beetle
or Attagenus piceus dermestidae. -
He said it had been living under
starvation conditions"
First reports had indicated there
were two bugs in the case, but DR.
Back said the discarded shell of the
one found had been mistaken for a
second bug. The beetle examined
yesterday had been killed Saturday
by Alvin Kremer, Library of Con-
gress keeper of collections, an ex-
pert on the preservation of docu-
ments and books, by the use of a
disinfectant harmless to the docu-
ment but fatal to the bug.
Library authorities said the docu-
ment was in no real danger. They
stated the case was so closely fitted
it was unlikely the bug got in
through any openings. The prob
able explanation, they said, was that
at some time before the document
was brought back to the Library
from the place it had been taken
for protection during the war emer-
gency, a diminutive egg had been
carried into it.
The Declaration of Independence,
the rough draft of the Constitution
and the Magma Charter were also
examined, Library authorities said.
Dichloride crystals have been put in
the respective cases to insure free
dom from future insect problems.

Younger fremen and policemen un-

Although private employers are

While draft boards can deny de-

pated that District boards will deny
deferment to any police or firemen
under 80 whose deferment is off.

District selective service decided
flremen out of 81 under 80 and
l9 policemen out of 100 under 80
should be made available for induc-
ton and advised District draft
boards to that effect. All of the
men selected were single or had
married SINCE the war, it was ex-
planned. This was to be the extent
of drawing men from the two de-

District draft headquarters had
planned a checkup to see that this
group was made available for in
duction, the draft spokesman said,
but abandoned the plan when the
new national procedure for all men
under 80 was announced.
Police and firemen over 80, the
draft official said, probably will con-
tinue to be deferred.
