C. Stanwood of Baltimore, whose
appointment as State director was
announced yesterday. He said
Maryland would have 66 local
boards, 26 of them in Baltimore.
There will be boards in Bethesda.
Rockville, Silver Spring, Upper
Marlboro and Hyattsville. The Vir-
ginia State director has not yet
been appointed.
The date for start of induction
has not been decided. Gen. Hershey
said yesterday at news conference.
But he indicated it may be October
at the earliSt before the first in
ductees are taken into the armed
forces. The law provides that no
one can be drafted before Septem-
ber %.
Gen. Hershey said the exact date
will depend largely on decision
yet to be made as to the method of
calling up the men. If they are
called by age groups, such as 25,
fications soon after the August 80
registration date for men of that
age, he explained. But if officials
decide to use a "fishbowl" lottery
system, the classifications probably
could not begin until some time
after September 18.
These decisions probably will be
made next week, Gen. Hershey said
Decisions also are yet to be made
concerning defermentS, he said.
Gen. Hershey said he leaned
toward the idea of drafting the
25-year age group first because l00,-
900 of them turn 26 each month
He commented, however, that there
we've various disadvantages, partic-
ularly because the armed forces
Lcould normally expect to get only
about 5000 men from that group.
The principal problem confront
! ing the Selective Service System
now, he explained, is organization
of Offices and 1000 boards through
out the country as we'll as Alaska
Hawaii and other territories. The
President yesterday appointed Is
State directors in addition to Mr.
/ Leahy for the District. Within 9
! few days he will appoint another
"a directors. One of the big diff
culUies, Gen. Hershey said, is tc

boards in large cities.

MO one in the United States

The primary difference be-

from the remarkably apt and

new collection is clearly arranged
for performance rather than soli-
tary study. Printed on large

Juilliard Quartet's
Youthful Players
Make Lively Debut
By Elena de Sayn

To the eyes accustomed to placid
executants of chamber music, out
wardly unrufied and inwardly un-
moved by the emotions expressed
in the music they play, the sight
Of four youths consumed by the
fire within was something to see
as well as to hear. The debut of
the Juilliard String Quartet in the
Library Of Congress last night
brought the audience face to face
with four young musicians. Robert
Mann and Robert Koff, violinists:
Raphael Hillyer, violist. and
Arthur Winograd, cellist, were 50
alive and SO intent that violent
hair tossing, facial and bodily con-
tortions seemed almost excusable.
Not that they are to be recon-
mended. =
In fact, when listening to the
group with eyes shut, the ensemble
gave maximum pleasure. The flrm-
ness and roundness of tone in Mo-
zart's Quartet in D Major, X. v.
499," and in Beethoven's Quartet
in G Major, op. SO, No. g." the uni
formness of dynamics and the one-
mes of purpose in the manner of
execution has not been surpassed.

proach. strikingly individual, savage
and romantic in turn. Yet, as the
saying goes, there is only . step
from the sublime to the ridiculous.
In justice to the composer, it should
be pointed out that the antics of the
players worked against the quiet alb
sorptlon of his music. It worked
also against them and the excellency

 Bavard was top scorer with l2 points for Mikes and Pasquan led Columbia's scoring with IT.
 DOUGLAS HI VS. SIGNACS
 "Sure-shot' Cuthbert of the Doug las Huskies was the hottest he has been this season, totaling up 20 points for his team during the four quarters of play, but the Huskies weren't able to stop the Signacs. The Signacs locked good last night and their floor plays and teamwork are improving each game they play. Mckay, who topped the Signacs scoring with 20 points, intercepted high percentage of passes and broke up the Huskies defense all , through the game.
 Play was slow in the first quar- ter. with both teams missing the hasket. The Signacs picked up the lead and held it with the score at the quarter II to 8.
 In the second quarter, both teams located the basket and scoring was heavy with Sey, Stevens, Pinkerton leading the Huskies' scoring and Rollison and Mckay bringing in the points for ACS. At half time the score board gave the Signacs a five roint lead over the Douglas Is- land boys, score, 27 to 22
 LAST HALF
 The Huskies' fighting spirit came out in the third quarter. A long long pass from Stevens to Cuthbert resulted in two points, Sey tossed scoring ball on set-up play, and Stevens dropped the tall in from under the basket, and the score stood 29 to 29 Cuthbert dropped one more in giving his team a two- point lead.
 Moles of the Signacs finished the Huskies' lead in short order and Mckay started to really play ball with three consecutive baskets. The score at the end of the quarter showed the signacs in the lead at fl to 34.
 In the last quarter, the Signacs walked away with the game with Mckay, Boochever, Inman and Mey- CTS hitting the hoop. The final score board was 54 to 42 This is the sec end win of the season for the Sig macs. who downed the Moose last week.
 The Huskies played their best game of the season last night, with Cuthbert finding the basket on field goals. Where they fell down was cn free throws. The refs handed them ten free throws during the game and they managed to sink only two. The Signacs sunk eight out of II free throws.
