Droftees' and Veterans Guide
by Moi. Thomos N. Niol-

II you are O student in q "pro-
fessional" school, you can about for
get the draft until you graduate.
BY professions" school I mean
schools Of medicine, dentistry. vet
erinary medicine and osteopathy
They are what Selective Service
calls the healing arts" schools.
The reason is easy to figure: We
can't allow the draft to decrease the
number of doctors and dentists, etc
in the country. A lot of experts say
there aren't enough doctors anyway
Selective Service had this in mind
when it set up the Healing Arts
Educational Advisory Committee.
The committee made its report In
the first week Of November. One
of its recommendation Is blanket
deferment for all professional stu
dents who keep up their marks.
'"The committee" says the official
report, recommends that students
properly enrolled in the professional
schools of these four professions and
satisfactorily pursuing full-time
courses leading to graduation should
be permitted to continue their
studies until graduation"
You notice that word recon-
mends." There's nothing compul-
sorry about this. Local boards can
60 right ahead and draft profess
sional students If they want to. But
they won't, except perhaps in a
tight emergency situation in which
there is no other way to meet a
draft quota.
The committee recommends fur
ther that sufficient number of pre-
professional students" be deferred
to keep freshmen classes OF profess
sional schools at their present
strength.
"a pre-professional student, in
case you don't know, is just a regu-
lar college man who hasn't gradu-
ated but who has been Professionally
accepted by a medical Cor dental,
etc. school for his professional
training)
II you are q pre-professional COL
lege student and have ambitions for
q professional career in medicine,
dentistry, veterinary medicine or
osteopathy you should decide at

once where you want to take your
postgraduate work, If you haven't
already. Then you should write a
letter to the dean of that school,
giving your record and explaining
your intention.
The dean will get in touch with
your school to check up on you. If
you meet all the requirements he
will send you a certificate saying
that you are Professionally accepted.
You take the certificate to your
local draft board.
But don't forget, medical and
other professional schools can ct-
tain deferments each year for no
more than the number Of students
they now have in their freshman
classes.

When Super-Snow hits, he said,
the available manpower and equip
ment of any municipality cannot
be expected to cope with the situa-
ton.
New York, he pointed out, has
more than $4,000, 900 worth of snow
equipment and a standby force
trained in snow removal Of $4,000.
Washington has less than 100000
worth of equipment and 1000 avail
able employees. New York has
about 1000 miles of streets; Wash
ington 1000. But the width OF the
streets in Washington is greater
and the layout Of the city more
conducive to tieups. Furthermore,
he said, transit in the city is all
surface. The subway system saved
New York from complete paralysis.
"Under these circumstances and
In view Of the New York expert
ences," he said, "it would seem
worthwhile to point out that in time
of heavy snow every city needs the
help of it's bodied citizenry
and without help chaotic conditions
are inevitable
This help, he says can best be
given as follows:
/. Nothing but essential traffic
should use the streets during a
period of actual snowfall.
2. Essential vehicles should use
every precaution to avoid blocking
roadways particularly on arterial
boulevards. .....s..
3. The public in time of heavy
snow should cooperate by taking
care Of sidewalk and roadway snow
In front of their business places and
homes. This can be done by piling
snow on the curb, around trees and
on front lawns ~ ga

says, the plows probably will deal

Benes. Czech President Dies
(By A. I. Goldberg)

PRAGUE, (P)-Eduard Benes, who helped found CzechosloVakia and was twice it's president, died today. He was GA.
 The statesman who rose to world acclaim from ranks of the peasants was stricken early Tues day and had been unconscious since. Coughing spasms weakened his tired old fighting heart, which finally gave way. He died at his country home at Sezimovo at 6:10 pm.
 BeneS had a stroke a year ago. His arteries had hardened.
 His last year of life was doubly saddened by the coup through which communists seized power in his republic and by the death plunge soon afterWard of foreign minister Jan Masaryk. The for eign minister was the son of Tho mas Masaryk, with whom BeneS helped to form the CzechOsloVak Republic in 1913.
