Coach p. j. Roberts of the Lau-
rel Locomotives is crying the blues
over his basketball prospects, for
his squad does not have a return
ing letterman, except Bob SOrg
who is hampered by sight in only
one Y To date the first squad is
composed largely OF freshmen and
sophomores. 1t is in its second
week of practice and is still prac-
ticing on fundamentals. The team,
which has very little experience
behind it, is playing one of its
toughest schedules in recent years.
The team also lacks height. Ac-
cording to Coach Roberts, material
is scarce, although he has hopes
of molding his prospects into a
team which will not let down the
glory of successful teams of past
years.

They were Prof. Slichter, Dean j.
Douglas Brown of Princeton, Mel
son H. Cruikshank of the American
Federation of Labor, John Miller of
the National Planning Association
and Emil REEVE, president of the
Textile Workers Union.
The report said, however, that all
except Mr.. REEVE would support
the recommendations should Con-
gress decide against establishing a
national program. Mr.. Rieve said
the report does not even go far
enough in improving the present
Federal-State system.
AL five members pointed out that
many workers move from State to
State in their search of work and
that the labor market cuts across
State lines. The District and near
by Maryland and Virginia are listed
as one area furnishing an outstand-
ing example of this.
The report issued yesterday was
the final one of four the council
has produced. Earlier reports COW
cred old age and survivors insur-
ance, the establishment of perm
anent and total disability program
and Federal funds for general as
sistance and for aid to dependent
children. The council said time was
lacking for an adequate study of
proposals for a temporary disability
program.

ployer contribution rate is four
tenths of / per cent; in Maryland
IL per cent; in Virginia, seven
tenths Of l per cent.
The Federal Government now
makes grants to the States to ad-
minister their unemployment COM
pensation laws. The council rec
commended additional funds for this
purpose to make sure of efficient
administration.
Also recommended was the es-
tabliShment of a permanent Fed
eral loan fund from which a State
might borrow if its trust fund re-
serves were in danger of exhaustion.
This would operate to keep the tax
rate down in hard times.
'Employe interest in administra-
ton would be strengthened by en-
ploye sharing in the cost of the
program" the council said. 1t added
that since some of the employers
tax is shifted to the workers as en-
ployes and as consumers anyway, it
would be far better to tax workers
directly and achieve the advantages
to be derived from the recognition
of their part in paying the costs of
the benefits"
The council recommended that
the unemployment insurance system
be extended to small firms, Federal
civilian employees, members of the
armed forces, employees OF nonproflt
institutions and workers engaged in
pursuits on the borderline of farm
work such as fruit packing.
1t would also prohibit States from
unduly restrictive disquali-
flying provisions which have the
effect of denying benefits to those
genuinely unemployed through no
fault Of their own and who are
ready and able to accept suitable
work.
Another recommendation would
authorize the Social Security Ad-
ministration to prescribe procedures
to be followed by the States for
combining unemployment insurance
wage credits earned by workers in
more than, one State.

Draft Officials Fear
Loss Of Interest by
Boards in Cutback
:! By John A. Giles

The drastic cut in draft calls by
the Army has created some concern
among selective service officials
who fear that local board members
will lose interest and that the whole
voluntary machinery might become
rusty, Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
selective service director, said yes
terday.
The draft organization was set
up last June in anticipation of 3d.
900 calls a month. However, the
Army, faced with budgetary limita-
tons, flood of voluntary recruits
and a low rate of attrition, cut
its January call from 10000 men to
10000 and announced that it would
draft only 5000 men in February.
The March call has not been an
nounced by an official said yester-
day that it would be for no more
than 5000 and quite possibly even
less"
$4,000 Workers Unpaid.
I'VE may have some difficulty in
keeping up the interest of the I'M
paid workers, such as local board
in some places and we
have studied ways to
meet that possibility" Gen. Hershey
said. "Of course, we will not feel
the impact until Manch or April"
Selective Service has between So
600 and 10000 unpaid workers, in
Guiding 10000 physicians who act as
medical consultants for local boards,
Gen. Hershey said.
THE problem is to keep the local
board member feeling like he really
is doing something-that his time
is not wasted" Gen. Hershey said.
We'll have no difficulty keeping
the paid workers busy because we
have never made much of a dent
in the task of furnishing the 15OOO,-
900 certificates of service to men
who served in World War H."
Selective Service officials also see
the probability that th-J Viii have
some difficulty in convincing Con-
gress that the draft machinery
should be kept at full strength for
immediate use in case of an emer-
gency, since the legislators will ask
how many men they have delivered
and appropriate funds only on that
basis, he added
Fluctuated Monthly.
Wartime draft calls f1uctuated
monthly but they never got below
$4,000 Gin February, 1944, Gen.
Hershey pointed out. The largest
call was for 100000 in one month
in 1912.
Gen. Hershey said he did not
mean to imply that all local board
members would be inclined to lose
interest as a result of the COM
small workload but that
lit certainly will be a problem in
a number of boards, especially those
whose members are busy business
men,"
Meanwhile, there were indications
that the draft law was continuing
to have its effect on recruiting.
The act has caused Army Air Force
recruiting stations to be flooded
ever since it became operative.
Enlistment in the Army Deem
Der LA totalled 1918, which
caused officials to predict that the
total for the month would be
around $4,000 despite the Christmas
