Students Face
New Standard
In Deferments
Youths Granted
Delays Lost Yeor
Receive Warning

Draft officials warned today that
college students who got induction
postponements last year may be
called out of school this fall If
they have failed to meet new
standards for student deferment.
The warning applied only to
those students who, while in coll
lege, already have received orders
for induction, but whose induc-
tions have been postponed auto
.matically under the 1948 draft
act until the end of their aca-
demic years.
The new draft act provides that
"a student in school. even if he is
liable for induction, is eligible
once to have his induction held up
until he finishes the year of study
in which he is enrolled. But the
act wipes out the right to get
such automatic postponements Of
induction year after year.
Standards Based on Tests.
Thus, this falls college student,
who never before has been ordered
to report for induction, is assured
lof being able to stay in school
until next summer, even if he fails
to meet the new deferment stand
ards.
But the student who previously
has been ordered for induction.
and has failed to meet the new
standards, will not be protected
by having enrolled in classes this
fall.
However. the student who quail
ifies under the new deferment
program may remain in school
until graduation, so long as he
maintains the standards set up
for deferment. The standards are
based on class standings and
marks in the recent aptitude tests
given students throughout the
country.
Issued to Advise Students.
Draft officials explained the
warning was issued to advise stu
dents planning to enroll this fall
that. if they previously have had
their lnductions postponed by law,
they are not automatically pro-
tected by virtue of having begun
fall courses.
About $4,000 students ordered
for induction last year were al
lowed to continue study until the
summer vacation by the 1948 law,
officials said.

Gambling SIeuth Calls for More Action

A tall, thin. citizen, who seems
to have grabbed a tiger by the

calling for more action.
He is John William Lewis, 40,
an electrical engineer, whose VOL

told a House appropriations srb-
committee.
The report of last weeks hear

that the much-criticized desk
stockpiling got the lions share of
attention when GSA spokesmen
appeared before the subcommittee
to talk about operating expenses.
Replies to Gore.
In response to a question from
Representative Gore. Democrat, of
Tennessee, about whether GSA
had requests for all the desks
stored, Mr.. Forbes replied:
I'VE did not have requests from
the civilian agencies, but we have
requests at the moment from the
Army quartermaster general for
more desks than we have in stor-
age, and we have refused to give
them to the Defense Department
because if we did there would be a
shortage for civilian agencies, par
ticularly DPA."
The GSA representatives were
quizzed sharply about the stock
piled desks. They reiterated dur
ing the closed hearings previous
public statements that buying
ahead of expected use had saved
the Government thousands of dol
lars.

mittee." and I think we would
have been very vulnerable, and
you gentlemen would be hearing

done WhatlWe did"
Mr.. Gore declared, "Of course,
by indulging in scare buying,
boarding and stockpiling, your
agency was doing exactly that
which the Government agencies
concerned with imitation were try
ing to persuade the public not to
do"
Mr.. Forbes differed, and said
that I'VE placed those orders at
"a time when certain companies
were without orders, and before
they got defense contracts. and
thereby prevented unemployment

By the Associoted Press

DETROIT, Jan. 17.-Manager
Red Rolfe Of the Detroit Tigers
discloses that the club has made
"a fabulous offer" in an effort to
buy First Baseman Ferris Fain OF
the Philadelphia Athletics.
This confirms gossip of the re-
cent major league meetings In St
Petersburg. Fla.
Rolfe told the Tigers annual
press and radio dinner last night
that Detroit will go all-out to get
Fain.
"We do not want to part with
any players, but we're willing to
spend a considerable amount OF
money. Walter o. Briggs, sr.
towner of the Tigers), has given
us the okay to go after Fain.''
Rolfe said.
There was no indication from
Rolfe as to the amount involved,
but a usually well-informed source
said it was in the neighborhood
of 100000.
Evidently, the AS want players
more than money, however.
In Philadelphia General Man

mitted the Tigers had tried for
a deal for Fain.

Robert A. (Bob) Hall, Yale ath-
letic director, fatty rejected the
idea that Penn's schedule diff
culties had anything to do with

yale has a high regard for
Notre Dame" Hall said, land I
know that others in the Ivy group
feel the same way. We regard
Penn highly. too"
Hall said Penn's Alt shellack-
ing Of Yale in 1943 had nothing
to do with the Ellis not reschedul-
ing the Quakers since. Hall
blamed 1t on the geographical dis
tances between the two schools,
and the fact no traditional foot
ball rivalry existed.

What does it all add up to?
Exactly this: Penn is having
trouble drawing up football sched-
ules for 1852 and afterward.
