In District Clinics

A total of 2,040 dogs have been
Vaccinated against rabies in the
cltys 10 free clinics, the District
Health Department announced to-
day. Yesterdays figure was 1249
as compared to 79l on Monday, the
first day. Tomorrow will be the
third clinic day.
At the Patterson School South
Capitol and Danbury streets the
only clinic in Southeast Washing
ton, only rs dogs were inoculated
against the disease. DR.. r. r. Ash
worth, director of the District
Food Inspection Service, Health De-
partment, said such small figure
was due to the confusion of South
east residents as to the location of
the clinic.
The old circus grounds clinic at
Bennlng road and Oklahoma ave-
nue. NE, was in the lead yesterday
with 226 dogs vaccinated. The Dis
trlct pound had a total of 1856 and

1884 there were more than 100 cases.

Draft Chiefs Study :
Plans 10 Defer 5000
Essential Teachers

Plans to defer an estimated 5000
essential college teachers from the
draft are under study by Selective
Service officials, it was announced
today.
The study, made after educators
warned that unrestricted faculty
drafting would keep some 10000
students from colleges this fall,
would defer professors In certain
physical sciences and professional
fields.
At the same time, it was revealed,
the draft relaxation would defer key
workers and graduate students in
the construction industry and scien-
tif1c research fields.
Decision Next Week.
A Selective Service spokesman
said he hoped instructions would be
ready on the new deferments by
next week.
-Four certifying agencies have been
tentatively named to rule on es-
sentlality and all deferments will be
made on an individual basis, the
official said. The agencies include
the United States Office of Educa-
ton, the National Housing Agency
the Civilian Production Administra-
ton and the United States Office OF
Scientific Research and Develop
ment.
College teachers eligible for the
deferment under the plan would in
clude these engaged in physical
sciences, medicine, dentistry, osteo-
patny and veterinary medicine.
About 5000 professors are repre-
sented in those fields among the
estimated 5000 teachers eligible for
draft under present regulations, ac-
cording to DR.. Francis j. Brown. ex-
ecutive secretary of the American
Council on Education A recent sur
vey of the council showed that loss
of all the teachers would keep the
10000 students from school this
fall, he said.
$500 Face Induction.
But deferring 5000 of them in
limited specialized fields by no
means solves the problems, he
declared.
About $50 professors in social sci
ence and some 1000 in other fields
still will face induction under the
plan, land we can't teach students
only science" he pointed cut.
The Selective Service official said
the deferment study began last week
after White House conference of
key officials conducted by Recon-
version Director John r. Steelman.

247-Pound 'Tugboot Annie
Sails North for Screen Test
Womun Also Brinos
1000 Cigars for
United Nations
By John W. Stepp

-Four thousand choice Havana
cigars, the goodwill of a Miami
tFla) towing company, and 247-
pound Marian Mckaye sailed into
Washington harbor yesterday aboard
high-decked, elderly tugboat.
The cigars were the gift of the
Cigar Institute of America to the
delegates of the United Nations
Security Council in New York. Miss
McKaye was on board through the
courtesy of her employer, who pro-
Vlded the tug to transport the
cigars to the delegates and Miss
Mckaye to a screen test which
might send her to HOLLYWOOD.
AS the large, genial woman of
80 explained it, her employer and
tubgoat colleagues in Miami re-
Gently became convinced she bears
strong resemblance to the late
Marie Dressler as "Tugboat Annie"
That's what they call me down
there-Tugboat Annie or just plain
Tuggie, " Miss McKaye said. Il work
on tug, you see. Odd jobs mostly.
but on short runs I sometimes take
the wheel. Maybe the boys like
my cooking-maybe that's where
they got the screen-test idea. I
Pm good cook"
Miss McKaye piloted the Marion
Adele a good part of the 1,60O-odd
miles up the Intercoastal waterway
from Miami. A licensed pilot took
over IN the rough waters of the
sounds and maneuvered the
55-foot craft off several sandbars
on which it became stuck in North
Carolina.
Miss McKaye has worked on tug
boats for four years in Florida, Pre-
Vlously she was a partner in
vaudeville team which toured the
country under the name of Edwards
and McKaye. She probably got her
love of water, she said, from her
father and grandfather, who were
shlpbullders on the Mississippi.
Her companions on the VOYAGE,
which will be resumed this after
noon via Chesapeake Bav and the

"radiosond' equipment, which trans

A Commerce Department spokes-
man described these devices as hav-
ing contributed largely to the ac-
curacy of weather forecasts on which
military operations were based. He
said they were used in planning the
D-day invasion of Normandv. in
guiding flights across the hump"
from India to China and in many
other operations.
Representatives of the Signal
Corps will be on hand to explain
the weather devices to the public.
