BY the Associated Press.

BY inc Associated Press.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., Mar. g.
Crooner Frank Sinatra has been
disqualified again for military duty
and classified as engaged in work
necessary to the national health
safety and interest" draft officials
announced today.
Ira w. Caldwell. chairman of ST.
natra's local draft board, said that
if the board had not considered the
singers work so important it would
have marked him ''nonessential
and thus forced him into some
branch of the armed forces or a war
job.
A punctured eardrum, basis of
the physical disqualification by mil
itary examiners, was the only thing
found wrong with the crooner, Cald-
we'll said.
Will Ask Report From Employers.
The local board will ask for re-
port from Sinatra's employers on
whether they claim he is essential, u
and then will decide whether it
agrees.
Mr. Caldwell said Sinatra had
been classified 2-A-F until Septem-
Der by Hudson County Local
Board 10.
The singer was rejected for mill
tary service in December, 1913, be-
cause Of the punctured eardrum.

examination, he went through the
draft induction station at Newark
on February and later that day
was given further physical tests at
Fort Jay on Governors Island, New
York.

Returning Veterans
To Want Good Music,
Grace Moore Says

When the American soldiers come
home they're going to demand more
and better music-and they're going
to get it, because already there's
an old-time revival meeting spirit
about good music in America"
That's what Grace Moore. So
prana opera star who will sing here
tomorrow with the National SYM
phony Orchestra, told her press
conference yesterday. Her state
ment was backed up by an Army
Air Forces lieutenant just back from
France, and by several hundred
workers of the National Symphony
Orchestras current drive for a
$4,000 sustaining fund.
See Goal in Sight.
The campaign workers reported
almost two-thirds of their total
raised at luncheon report meeting
yesterday. The present total is
sl08,911, or 72.6 per cent of the goal.
and committee chairmen were hope
full that continued work would en-
able them to reach the goal.
The AAF officer was First 1t.
Humphrey Doulens, who was Miss
Moores manager before he entered
the Army. Just back from France
he told her press conference, The
CTS are packing the two opera
houses in Paris. They love it." he
said.
Miss Moore came to Washington
from San Antonio, Tex, where the
Metropolitan Opera Company, put on
Texas first series of grand opera,
she said. 1T was wonderful. Cow
boys came down on their horses.
and all the people in their SUNDAY
best. They really took to it in a
big way. It's trend that's sweep
ing the country" Miss Moore said.
Will Tour Europe.
She said every community should
have its own opera company, and
its own symphony orchestra. we
must work and work for it. WASH
ington has its wonderful orchestra
every community should have
one"
The last of this month Miss Moore
leaves on Government sponsored
tour of all the liberated areas of
Europe, where she will sing for SOL
dier audiences.
At the campaign luncheon, two
of the u committees reported
reaching their quotas, and several
others were not far from theirs.
The Navy committee reported 1901
per cent of its quota raised and the
Catholic Schools Committee re-
ported 1917 per cent. Colleges and
universities have 979 per cent of
their goal
Chairmen of some of the commit
tees which still are not near their
quotas, said it was not a lack of
interest on the part Of the public,
but the difficulty of contracting peo-
Pile. The Government committee,
which so far has raised 344 per cent
of its quota, was organized only last
week.
Mrs. Emory Scott Land. chairman
Of the Navy committee, urged that
her committee, and other commit
tees who meet their quotas soon
not stop working until the entire
fund has been raised.

voluntary Job Control
Bill Appears Certain
OF Senate Approval
BY j. A. O'LEARY.

Senator Bailey, Democrat, OF
North Carolina will propose lower
penalties in an effort to save the
compulsory features of the House
work Tor jail bill, but voluntary
job control substitute still appeared
likely to pass the Senate next week
AS the Senate recessed last night
until Monday after disposing OF
only a few amendments this week,
Senator Bailey drew up a new pen
atty provision which would provide
that:
Any person wilfully failing to
comply with an official request to
accept or continue in a job within
Is days after formal notice from
the chairman of the War Man
power Commission, could be pun
ished by a fine of not more than
$1,000. imprisonment for not less
than 80 days nor more than a
year, or both, and loss of unem-
ployment compensation benefits for
the period he remained away.
House Bill Limits Age.
The bill the House passed was
limited to men between 10 and As,
but made them liable to fine of
$4,000 or Imprisonment up to five
years If they failed to obey an order
OF their draft boards to stay in or
go to an essential Job.
The only portion of the bill the
Senate approved this week was the
new Tydings farm deferment amend
ment adopted yesterday, designed To
halt the induction into the Army
on any more essential farm workers
A heavy court penalty on farm la
borers who leave agriculture after
they find they are 4-F was elimi-
mated.
The Senate voted down two other
amendments. as follows:
l. BY Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio, to prevent the War Man
power Commission from fixing labor
CEILINGS on newspapers, magazines
or neWs-gathering agencies below
the 1914 level.
Walsh Joins Opponents.
2. BY Senator Capehart, Republi-
can, of Indiana, to enable the Man.
power Commission to fix minimum
production requirements for essen
tial industries.
Opponents of the House compul-
sorry bill gained the support last
night of Chairman Walsh of the
Naval Affairs Committee, who said
he will support substitute meas
ure. Indications are the bill that
finally wins Senate approval will
merely give congressional sanction
to the present job controls of the
War ManpoWer Commission.

Newspapers Asked
To Cut Newsprinf
Orders by 5 Per Cent

By the Associated Press.
The Newspaper Industry Advisory
Committee has recommended that
all newspapers cut their newsprint
delivery orders by 5 per cent In
April May and June to meet an
estimated 45,000-ton supply short
age, j. Hale Steinman, director of
the War Production Board Printing
and Publishing Division, announced
today.
Mr.. Steinman said he hoped this
method of meeting the shortge
could be adopted without requiring
reduction in permitted use of
newsprint.
Fears Deeper Cut.
However, he expressed the fear
that the cut in delivery orders
which would require publishers to
take an equivalent amount of paper
from their inventory reserves-might
have to be deeper than per cent
in view Of transportation tie-ups
and enlarged Government demands
for newsprint.
The industry committee, which
held closed meeting here this week,
recommended that no cut be made
in the allowable consumption of
paper in the second quarter.
The 5 per cent cut recommended
would be from the amounts normally
ordered
The 45,000-ton shortage is about
5A per cent of estimated second
quarter purchases OF S65 900 tons,
WPB officials said.
10000 Tons Backed Up.
Canadian authorities have noti-
fleo WPB that about 10000 tons
OF newsprint now are backed up at
Canadian mills because of a short
age OF freight cars and other trans
portation difficulties.
This has caused the shutdown of
one Canadian mill because its ware
house space is damned and may
shortly have repercussions on
number of other mills as well as
on newsprint consumers in the
United States WPB said.
The committee urged that news
paper publishers and representa-
tiveS of other industries immediately
make every possible effort to unload
freight cars as speedily as possible, /"
WPB said. Many cars tied up in
the recent billiards. have not been
returned to Canada.
The committee of publishers and
editors proposed that the cut in
delivery orders be limited to the
second quarter because, members
said, they believed adequate sup
plies of newsprint may be avail
able during the second half of
1916"
