There's a new long-range plar
in the mill-but net yet adopted
to defer the best college students
each year. Not just science
students, but those in every field
even those studying old Roman
law or Aztec art. Temporarily
local boards are allowed to grant
liza occupational deferments to
students in the upper half of their
class. The plan, handed to Draft
Director Hershey by a committee
of scientists, is something new
and different. Gen. Hershey will
have to okay it and the President
must change Selective Service
regulations. It seems likely the
plan will go through in some form
by next spring, even though it
will defer an estimated 3 per
cent more than at present.
What's the idea, you may ask,
of deferring the guy studying
Greek philosophy, when what we
need is scientists?
Well, the committee of scien-
lists did some deep thinking and
decided that the world will be in
continual crisis for long time,
that we have to do more than just
meet the situations with emer-
gency measures.
A lot Of young men are going
into uniform and the committee
foresaw sorne-maybe most-of
the nations best young brains be-
ing yanked out Of school and COL
lege before they could finish their
education. This, the scientists
figured, would warp our civiliza-
ton. The country is already suf-
fering from a shortage of highly
trained and highly educated pro-
fessional and scientific people as a
result of World War II. If third
world war comes along our young
men might grow up educated in
nothing but the manual of arms.
Besides, said the committee, you
can't say which fields are essen
tial." Who would have said is
years ago that the study of nu-
clear physics or the japanese
language was important?
The committees plan calls for
the deferment of promising stu
dents, with fewer and fewer de-
ferred each year and the scheme
flexible enough to shoot those de-
ferred into the armed forces
quickly in an emergency. The de-
ferred group, said the committee.
could be logically considered as
the civilian counterpart of the
military ROTC groups"
The new classification would be
1-A (S). To Qualify. a student
would have to make a score
equivalent to 120 on the Army's
General Classification Test.
Then. if Sam Jackson, high
school senior. scores 100 on the
test, his school authorities will
have to certify that he's a promis-
ing student and Sam will have to
be accepted by an accredited COL
lege.
In his freshman year, Sam will
have to be in the upper half of his
class. He will have to use his

been approved by the college or
university as forwarding his train
ing program"
In his sophomore year, Sam
must be in the upper two thirds of
his class and in his junior year
in the upper three-fourths. That
would see him deferred I'D to his
graduation. If he plans post
graduate work, he will have to be

that, his graduate university must
certify Sam is doing okay and is

Paramount has spread itself to

Crosby, but by hiring a lot OF
talented associates to share the
work. For romance. it has added
that clever girl, Nancy Olson. In
the musical arts departments, the
picture presents the dancing OF
the 1.-the and lively Champions,
and the singing of Peggy Lee and
the Merry Macs. Groucho Marx
and Charles Coburn help out with
comedy touches, and before "Mr.

been dealt with in quite pleas

three of him in Watch the
Birdie" the new picture at the
Capitol. Three Skeletons do not
make this affair three times as
funny as the funniest picture he
ever made playing a single role,
but it is an amusing gag and it
isn't overWorked.
It also is a gag which permits
him to employ little acting
ability in addition to playing the
role in which he is usually tpye-
cast. The first Shelton is the one
to which you are most accustomed.
the amiable young man whose
intentions are always the best
but who manages never to do
anything right. At intervals he
also appears as his own father, a
kindly. Intellectual philosopher,
and as his grandfather, a gay old
rake who at one point uses old
Clark Gable and Robert Taylor
movies to teach his grandson the
elements of making a woman be-
have.
Watch the Birdie" gets off to
a properly carefree, silly start
with Shelton reading a commen-
tary to accompany the credits on
the screen. Sample: "We had four

Dorothy Kristen, of the higher
musical ecnelons, sings another
duet with the Palace films hero.
Songs that Palace customers
will carry away at the tip of
their tongues might also include
a ballad, Accidents Will Happen, u
wouldn't 1t Be Funny" High
on the List" You'll Be Home"
and Wasn't I There?" They
are all rather better than the
songs Crosby has been bothering
with in some of his more recent
screen efforts.
Miss Olson is young co-star
whose wistful way of falling in
love with her middle le-aged song
writing boss makes an agreeable
lark of the plot of "Mr. Music. ;"
They are a pair who have Just
the right touch for this sort of
May-September (not December)
romance, the accent of which is
more on the comic flavor than
any of the other possible ones.
The joke of it all is enriched by
the presence in the cast of a
young track star whose physical
ebullience makes Crosby's effort

it is a pleasant reminder that its

The effect of the film is the
usual one of a series of parties in
the theatrical smart set and Rich
ard Haydn is director who
knows how to make the most of
these.
In Crosby's roguish troubador
Haydn has man who is likely to
burst into song anywhere, in a
night club, a poSh party in some
body's penthouse, or even stand
ing beside a golf ball in a sand
trap. There are few singers who
can look natural singing in such
varied places. Crosby is the
exception and "Mr. Music" takes
full advantage of it.
It is an expensive album of
new tunes that he and his vocal
colleagues indulge, the best single
song a lightly philosophic thing

thing winds up in a fine chase in

routine among comedies. for the
most part, but it's so agreeable
about it's cheerful nonsense that
it is hard to feel any i'll will to-

Director Jack Donohue, Incl
dentally, has been well aware that
a Shelton picture is a vehicle for
Red Shelton, and he rarely takes
the camera off his star for more
than 80 seconds. When he does,
to turn 1t on Miss Dahl or on
Ann Miller's fine burlesque of a
bathing beauty, there is no reason
for even Skeletons greatest admirer
to complain.
