RECLASSIFICATION (Continued from Page One) of the move, but one said its first objective was to help ease the farm labor problem. It also was said that the move would serve to attract men in none-deferable jobs to jobs contributing to the war, effort. A list of jobs for which no deferment will be given after May 1, regardless of dependency, was issued recently, but at that time it affected only men aged 18 through 37, as older men were not in the draft age. With the reclassification order, there was the hint to men aged 38 to 45 that they best had shift to essential essen-tial occupations and thereby get an occupational deferment. Under the selective service directive, di-rective, loc al boards were instructed: in-structed: . 1. No ; more men 38 years of age or older are to be classified 4-H, the class for registrants over the present military age limit. 2. Prior to May 7, all 4-H j registrants engaged in an agrl- cultural occupation or endeavor , should be classified 2-C or 3-C, depending on whether they are single or have dependents. 3. Beginning May 1, all other 4-H registrants are to be placed in the classes to Which they properly belong by reason of oc- i cupational, dependency, or other status. In order to distinguish men of 38 or older from those under 38, the new regulations provide that the new classification be followed by the letter "H." In the case of A 1-A, for example, the full designation would be 1-A-H.

Three and a half hours later, heavy bombers attacked the convoy, con-voy, which was circling a burning ship. One ship blew up immediately immed-iately and two others were set on fire. No American plane was lost in either operation. The Eighth army won a clean-cut clean-cut victrJry in the opening phase of the battle which the allies hope will drive Rommel's forces northward north-ward into the sea.

With an American-British army advancing from the west and the Eighth army beginning to move northward, Rommel was caught in a. pincers operation which the German army, used with such success in the early days of the war.

ROMMEL'S (Continued from Page One) nearly completed. A United Press correspondent who drove from Tripoli to the present front, reported re-ported thousands of supply vehicles ve-hicles flowing across the desert towards the front. Rommel's effort to throw the eighth army off balance ran against a stone wall. Montgomery sat tight and blasted the German mobile forces to pieces, conserving his own tanks. Having failed, Rommel is unlikely un-likely to try to hold the Mareth line against a full-scale assault, but probably will fall back to the Gabes bottleneck, where he can make a compact stan- dand where it will be almost imossible to outflank out-flank him. It will be a stiff fight but allied al-lied military observers do not doubt the final outcome. The British; American, and French armies are closing in. Rommel's chief objective in Tunisia is edlay. eeks he may gain in Tunisia probably will spell months in the matter of retarding the aUie dinvasion of southern Europe.
