Axis Troops Fall to Eighth British Army
(International News Service)
Official disclosure that almost 10,000 Axis troops, the best part of a full division, already are in the hands of the British Eighth army today emphasized the magnitude of the disaster that is gradually overtaking Nazi Field Marshal Rommel.
While the R.A.F. took to the air again to strike another blow with 400 bombers on the industrial Ruhr valley of Germany, a communique from General Dwight E. Eisenhower's headquarters in North Africa reported uninterrupted Allied progress on all Tunisian battle fronts.
As this now famous battle corps pounded steadily ahead, new progress was reported by the First army in the North now only 25 miles from Tunis.
General Sir Bernard Montgomery's triumphant Eighth army is believed nearing the Tunisian coastal town of Mahares, only 20 miles south of the port of Sfax.
On the Russian front, German efforts to crack the Donets river line southeast of Kharkov were frustrated, with hundreds of enemy dead left on the battle field.
Most of the news from the Pacific theatre dealt with observance of the first anniversary of the fall of Bataan. The keynote was sounded by General Douglas MacArthur for a prayer for redemption of the Philippines and the prisoners of war, and a fervent supplication that this time "it be not again too late."

FIRST 3-A
According to draft officials, there are about 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 married men now in 3-A. Many will be rejected because of physical defects but 14 out of every 16 of the others who can pass physical examination will be called to the colors, it was estimated.
Draft officials were working on regulations governing the order of induction of fathers. The regulations will be announced within two weeks. First calls for fathers will be issued around July 1, and, after that date, at least 400,000 fathers a month will be drafted.
Aides of Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national draft director, warned against speculation over the new regulations. They are subject to final review by both General Hershey and War Manpower Commission speaker Paul V. McNutt. Speculation now, they said, would lead only to more confusion over the country's critical manpower problem.

Chancellor Malott said he urged all freshmen engineers to attend the five weeks' short course, if they have mathematical deficiencies to make up. The course is also useful, he pointed out, in providing the opportunity for an extra five hours of credit which may enable some students to attain sophomore standing by the time they are 18 years of age, and hence be eligible for deferment from Selective Service to complete their engineering training.
Advance reservations indicate a large freshmen enrollment for the summer semester which opens May 24, according to reports from the office of Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar.

The Only Feature Ever Filmed in the Amazon Jungle See the Jungle Giants in Bottle
Washington, (INS)—Faced with estimates that more than 54,000 government workers have obtained draft deferments, the War Manpower Commission yesterday planned to issue new regulations that will send many of the 1,000,000 men between the ages of 18 and 38 now on the federal payroll into the army.
He Pins a Murder on the Wrong Man, but Brings the Culprit to Final Justice.
COMING SUNDAY
Within the next few days, it was learned, Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, national Selective Service director, will issue at the request of the WMC instructions to all local draft boards to deny deferments to federal workers unless they are given so-called "certificates of government request."

The action was recommended on March 10 by a committee appointed by President Roosevelt to investigate reports that the government was a "haven for draft dodgers."
The committee, headed by Paul Bellamy, Cleveland editor, found that "slackers are few" in the government but charged that federal bureaus were not using "the vigor necessary" to replace draft eligible men with women and older and handicapped workers.
The Bellamy report also recommended creation of a committee to streamline and coordinate draft machinery governing deferments of federal employees. The latter committee, composed of Robert Barnett of the WMC, Kenneth Vipond of Civil Service and Col. Edward A. Fitzpatrick of National Draft Headquarters, is using the Bellamy report as its guidebook.
Avenge Bataan Sec. Hull Tells Allied Armies
Washington, (INS)—Secretary of State Cordell Hull today called upon the army of the United States and other allies to redouble their efforts to avenge the fall of Bataan.
Commenting on the first anniversary of the heroic stand of the American forces at Bataan, Hull said the anniversary ought to inspire every soldier in the armies of the United Nations, especially Americans, to re-double their efforts in waging this war until every phase of that battle has been avenged.
