B—(UP8 —(UP) —Selective Service warned today that greater numbers of men between 18 and 30 previously deferred for essential work will have to be drafted into the armed forces.

A report to the House Military Affairs committee said there was not a sufficient number of young men becoming 18 years of age each month to meet induction quotas. Rep. (John J. D., Ala., who received the report for the committee, said it also may mean that an additional number of men above 30 years of age will have to be drafted. The report did not specify what occupational groups could be in line for induction. But it said that the 18 and 30 years deferred group included 65,000 members of the merchant marine, as well as Targe numbers of men working in coal mines, railroads, ship repair yards and other essential war activities.” ‘‘With the exception of special deferments for coal mines, railroads and ship repair yards, the Selective Service system has no alternative but to select for induction the least essential of the limited number of men now remaining occupationally deferred in age group 18 to 30 years of age who measure up to the present physical standards,” the report said. It listed in this group 449,457 who have been deferred to Industry and 483,872 who have been deferred to agriculture, most of Whom have not had induction physical, examinations. The 18 to 30 group also includes 1,006,000 men who have been rejected for miliary service afjer taking physical examinations. ! ■■ OPA Collections In State $10,539 64 < Indianapolis, Aug.

could produce over 3,000,000 iinies as much energy if used atomically, instead of combuation. Obviously this would revolutionize the generation of heat and power, since at this ration, one-sixth of an ounce of coal would equal the annual average fuel requirements of an average home, and twenty tons would replace current annual anthracite production. ‘‘However, there are three unanswered questions which lead to the prediction that it will be many years before the breakers are torn down to make room for atomic factories. "The first is, can atomic energy he controlled and directed? The second is that" uranium and the other materials now reportedly being used all have the heaviest, most complex atoms whic.i are relatively unstable and comparatively easy to split. Carbon, on the other hand, has one of the lightest, least complex atoms which would indicate much great-

er stability. The third all-import-ant question is how much it would cost to process a piece of coal, or, in fact, any other material into a form that made it capable of heating a house.” There was little tendency in industry, however, to belittle the ultimate effects of atomic power. It was recalled that Brig. G«n. David Sarnoff. president of rhe radio corporation of America, said in a speech to the Association of Commerce in Chicago, Jan. 30, J 941, that “the most important event” of 1940 was "the iso. lation of the atomic component of the element uranium, known as 0-385.” He predicted then that “vzlten the latent energy of the atom finally becomes universally available, it will run factories; light, heat and refrigerate homes; furnish for everything from ocaan liners to pocket radio transmitters and receivers.” Democrat Want Ads Get Results
