Selective service today wiped out the dependency deferments of an estimated 2,880,000 men who are supporting wives only or collateral collater-al dependents such as parents or brothers and sisters. Except in hardship cases, these men hereafter will be deferred only for occupational causes. And the restrictions on granting of occupational deferments were tightened up. . These orders highlighted an extensive revision of the classification classifi-cation system, designed to stave off the induction of fathers as long as possible. Selective service serv-ice considers as fathers those whose children were born before Sept. 15, 1942. Children born after that date are not counted. Informed sources, however, still looked for the induction of fathers to be started during the summer. There are an estimated 6,120,000 fathers in the present draft age range of 18 through 37. When selection of them begins, the new occupational and hardship hard-ship tests laid down today for childless married men will be applied ap-plied to them. The new regulations eliminate Class 3-B. This has been the classification clas-sification of about 2,000,000 men who have dependents and who also work in any capacity in one of the 36 essential industries. Nov, except for fathers, Japanese Begin Air Offensive In Southwest Pacific the dren. Cu test will be applied as to whether these men are "necessary men" in the essential industries. If they are necessary is civilian industry in-dustry they will go into 2-A. If they are necessary in a war industry, in-dustry, they will become 2-B. If they are not necessary in either, they will become 1-A and subject to induction. Married men in agriculture will continue to be classed 3-C. The hardship cases will fall into a new deferred classification, 3-D. These are defined as cases in which induction "would cause extreme ex-treme hardship and privation to a wife, child or parent." Of the 7,000,000 in Class 3-A deferred only for dependency reasons only the fathers will remain re-main when the present reclassification reclassifi-cation is completed. A memorandum to draft boards said the new classification system sys-tem would enable them to continue con-tinue "to meet the manpower requirements re-quirements of the armed forces, war production, agriculture and other essential civilian activities and, at the same time, protect as loner as possible homes whe there are children." In his order to the nation's 6,500 draft boards, Hershey repeated re-peated his previous instructions that non-deferred men are to be called jn this order: Single men with no dependents, single men with collateral dependents, depend-ents, married men with wives only, and finally men with chil- BY DON CASWELL United Press Staff Correspondent CJEN.

Rommel May- Nazi Sevastopol Las t Axis Stand at Bizerte, Stronghold In Tunisia By HARRISON SALISBURY ? United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, April 12 UE Allied military sources believed today that Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rommel may attempt a Nazi Sevastopol at the strongly fortified forti-fied Tunisian naval base of Bi-zcrte Bi-zcrte Regarded as the strongest position posi-tion both naturally and artificially in the country, Bizerte probably could be held by a force of no more than 30,000 for a consider- able time. - Compared with the open desert base ot Tobruk,' it is a veritable Gibraltar. Bizerte lacks some of the natural natur-al advantages of the Russain Sevastopol Se-vastopol base but its chances - for a lengthy, siege are increased by its nearness to Sicily, from which fighter air coverage could be obtained. ob-tained. Rommel can maintain some fighter and bomber strength to aid his Afrika Korps as long as he holds a fairly sizeable area in Tunisia but the growing - Allied air superiority may prevent the Luftwaffe from operating from northern Tunisian bases when the final stand comes. Bizerte is in a much stronger position that Tunis, which can be reached from at least three comparatively com-paratively open routes. Situated at the tip of a rocky peninsular protected by fixed batteries, Bizerte Biz-erte is secure from the sea side. The land side is guardad by an elaborate system of pillboxes. The Allies approaching on the land would run into a bottleneck from Mateur and Ferryville. Bizerte Biz-erte is situated about 20 miles north of Mateur on the tip of Tunisia at "Cap Blanc. The strong fixed defenses along the -coast are backed up by the strong Soumeur fortress plus additional ad-ditional installations on the small coastal islands of La Galite and Petit Gaiton. , The approaches from the Tunis gulf to the east and south are protected pro-tected by a line" of batteries which protect the advances both from Tunis and Goulette. The Korbous fortress, equipped with 16-inch naval guns, - takes in Cap Bn. east of Tunis, and to the south of Tunis tJhere are other lines of batteries. It is assumed the Germans Will try to hold their installations evpi if forced to evacuate Tunis itself. Revised Draft Classifications WASHINGTON, April 12 U.1!

Clean as a whistle y THAT GAL IS SO PRACTICAL WTD BETTER KEEP OUR EYES OPEN. I'LL BEtSHECOULO SHOW US A THING OR TWO ! Spring cleaning seefns to be more important im-portant than ever this year because most of us are spending more of our leisure hours at home. But that's not-the not-the only reason that this cleaning job has taken on greater proportions. Most of us have to do practically everything-ourselves. everything-ourselves. It's not as easy as it used to be to call up a cleaner to come and take the chesterfield, chair or ottoman out to be given a general going over. That's our job now. Those grand upholstery cleaners on the market today are really a salvation to the busy homemaker, for the results are close to miraculous. The dirt that's been collecting on those upholstered pieces seems to evaporate into thin air, and the colors become alive with a freshness akin to new. You'll find these cleaners, along with a host of other cleaning products that lighten work remarkably, on your grocer's shelves all ready to go to work for you. UPHOLSTERY CLEANING TECHNIQUE The directions for cleaning upholstery are usually given on the product, but we've a few hints in addition that might prove helpful. If you're an amateur at this cleaning job, then start out on an inconspicuous spot, say under one of the cushions or on the back of the sofa. A little practice on these hidden surfaces, and you'll see just how to go about cleaning the whole piece. But don't try to cover the whole cushion or sofa at ;once. Take a small space at a time ancLc4ean it thoroughly thor-oughly before going on to the next surface. sur-face. It takes a little patience and time, but you're well-paid for the trouble. Usually, one application is enough, but if the piece is quite soiled, then give it a second cleaning when it is thoroughly dry. CLEANING NON-WASHABLE DRAPERIES This same upholstery cleaner has more than one use. It's grand for draperies which can't be washed. Shake the draperies drap-eries and air them well, but keepthem in the shade while they are airing. Then place individually ov6r the ironing iron-ing board, and clean as you would upholstery, taking only a small surface at a time. When thoroughly dry, press carefully, using a cover cloth. RUG SHAMPOOING For that professionally cleaned appearance, appear-ance, use upholstery cleaner on your small rugs, too. Large rugs are jobs for expert dry cleaners. In cleaning, start right by vacuuming both sides of the rug and airing in the shade. Don't beat rugs for it weakens the fibers and shortens short-ens their wear. Clean a little at a time, letting rug dry before using. To equal: ize the wear of rugs, turn them frequently. fre-quently.
