Draft Boards Told
To Sort 4-Fs Who
May Get Vital Jobs

District draft boards were in
structed today to sort out 4-Fs who
would get occupational deferments
under work-or-jail legislation now
before the Senate.
District Draft Director william E.
Leahy told the boards to make q
reasonable effort" to have employ
ers Of 4-Fs submit the evidence to
justify occupational deferment for
registrants engaged in essential
work.
Urges Segregation.
Pointing out that legislation now
pending before the Senate would
subject registrants not engaged in
essential work to "coercive meas
ures," Mr.. Leahy said it would be
to the advantage of draft boards to
have their registrants segregated on
the basis of their right to occupa-
tional deferment.
District draft headquarters also
announced today that the District
Board of Appeal granted three ap-
peals for deferment and denied
three during the week ending Janu-
airy 20.
The appeal board denied appeals
for the occupational deferment Of an
18-year-old Georgetown University
premedical student, 29-year-old
fire prevention engineer and a IT.
year-old Capital Transit Co. bus
driver.
los Get Continuance.
The board granted deferment on
grounds Of hardship to a 25-year-
old Navy Yard machinist. A 25-
year-old Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation special agent and a 30-year-
old dairy shop foreman were
granted occupational deferments.
On review of deferments granted
by draft boards In other areas to
men working here, the board ap-
proved the continued deferment Of
los registrants in the 30-and-over
age bracket and 80 men under 30,
including 13 already rejected for
physical reasons.

District Groups Push
Plans for Memorial
To Honor War Dead

| Plans for construction Of q me-
mortal to honor the Districts dead
in the present war were advanced
last night at meeting Of patriotic
organizations at the American Le-
fgion Club.
While the monument proposed Is
still in the discussion stage, sketch
of it already has been drawn by
Frederick H. Brooke, noted archi-
tect who drew the plans for the
District World War Memorial which
honors Washington men who gave
their lives in the first World War.
The new memorial would be 10
Gated in Potomac Park, west of the
site of the John Paul Jones statue
and about two city blocks east of
| the present memorial.
| The memorial would be the tex
edra" form of monument, such as
has been constructed at Chateau
Thierry and elsewhere in France.
While classical in character, 1t would
be modern in detail, having no COL
umns and full entablature. White
Vermont marble would be used, the
same as in the present memorial.
Would Inscribe Heroes Names.
Names of the Districts dead in
this war would be inscribed on the
memorial, as are the names of the
dead of the last war on the District
World War Memorial.
The sketch. has been submitted to
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant III, chair
man of the National Park and
Planning Commission. 1t Is re-
ported that Gen. Grant expressed
himself as sympathetic" to the
idea, although he has not placed 1t
before the commission.
At last nights meeting, William
H. Hargrave. past department COM
mander of the Legion, who now is
chairman of the District World War
Memorial and May Day Corp, said
there has been no formal memorial
organization set up. The idea is
still in the discussion stage, he said.
Mr.. Hargrave. however, urged
those at the meeting to present the
idea to their respective organiza-
tons and to advance any sug-
gestions deemed advisable.
II think that now is the time
when some start should be made
in building memorial for our Dis
trict men who have made the SUI
preme sacrifice" he said.
Cost of the proposed edifice has
not been determined, nor has any
definite plan to raise funds for its
building been decided on.
Annual Observance Planned.
At the meeting it was decided that
the 18th annual observance at the
District World War Memorial in
honor of District heroes of the
World War will be held at 4:30 pm.
Sunday, May 13.
: AS in other years, an impressive
program is planned, with patriotic
organizations throughout the city
taking part. Final details will be
decided at meeting April 8. At the
same time. further details in the
campaign for a Second World War
Memorial may b forthcoming.
Among the organizations partici-
pating in last nights discussion were

NEED FOR RAGS CRITICAL

textiles, generally speaking is
the tightest material problem in
America today. Correlated to that is
a shortage Of rags for wiping pur-
poses. While approximately 23O mil
lion pounds Of wiping rags were
produced in the United States in
1914, the demand for 1945 will re-
quire production of an equal
amount-or, roughly, 20 million
pounds per month
AT the present time, military or
ders for Wiping rags are running
40 million pounds short of fulfill
ments. This 20 million pounds need
ed per month compares to pre-
war production of 141a million
pounds OF Wiping cloths.
Coupled with the fact that the
Navy wiping rags 60 out of the
country, are not washed, not re-
claimed, not salvaged, but are
thrown overheard for fire preven-
ton purposes, and thus lost forever.
it is obvious how much wiping rags
are in demand.
While some scavengers are still
on the job, they are mostly located
in the large cities, which have
therefore been producing most Of
the wiping rags during the war. It
is believed that smaller cities and
rural areas have a tremendous DO
tentlal of Wipers on hand when
collection facilities are provided.
Roughly, ~ pounds per person
of rags can be anticipated in a
collection. Experience has indicated
that pound of these will be wipers,
In order that more critical short
ages may be avoided, a greater ef-
fort on the part of the people Of
the nation must be made in ran
sacking easements and attics in the
homes and making available all
types OF rags for collection. These
rags should include old clothing,
burlap, gunny sacks, canvas and ali
types of cotton, wooden and linen
goods. All of these rags should be
free from grease and excessive dirt.
Uncle Sam needs rags to keep
