Air Raid Shelters
Studied By USHA
Apace with today's troublous
trends. United States Housing Au
thority engineers are studying dem
onstration air raid shelters with a
view to possible inclusion in low
rent housing projects
USHA engineers have discarded
the suggestion of reinforced floors
above cellars because such con
struction in Europe has been inef
fective. They now are studying two
types of "pill boxes" built by the
Vacuum Concrete Corporation of
New York City for testing by the
National Bureau of Standards. One
type is oblong with a parabolic cross
section tapering towards the top
The other is dome-shaped. The lat
ter should give more protection from
gunfire and bomb fragments, USHA
engineers say. but no "pill box" so
far devised provides much protec
tion from a direct hit by a bomb
The idea of reinforcing the floor
above the cellar was dropped after
consultation with Michael Rosen
auer, noted British architect, who is
visiting USHA projects Mr. Rosen
auer studied air raid shelters in
Spain. France and England. In Spain
he says, debris of buildings demol
ished by bombs frequently blocked
entrances to bomb-proof cellars and
occupants often were suffocated be
fore they could be removed.

Exemptions Under
The Conscription
Act Are Explained
Loral Draft Boards ill Have
To Kulr on Conscientious
()bjeetorft' Cases
Perusing the conference report on |
the selective training and service act
) of 1940. one finds that Congress
hereby declares that it is impera
tive to increase and train the per
sonnel of the armed forces of the
United States.
To this end, and principally to
build an army and navy of such size
and formidableness as to frighten
the living daylights out of any other
people who would entertain ideas of
poaching on * us, the compulsory
training system is soon to go into ef
fect.
It might be well to point out some
: of the items under various sections I
of the Selective Training and Serv
ice Act. The conference report is far |
too involved in legislative language
to make interesting reading, but the
thing is potent with meaning for
thousands of men between the ages
of 20 and 'M, their employers and
their families.
To those scanning the avenues of
draft-dodging (there are probably
none, certainly not in Martin) the
act continually mentions State and
Federal jobs "concerning public
health, safety or interest".
It appears that these are the only
jobs the draft cannot touch. But oth
er than those jobs clearly outlined
by the conference report as "neces
sary to the maintenance of the pub
lic health, safety or interest," it will
be up to the local draft board to pass
on. " ~ ,
Here is who is exempted:
Commissioned officers, warrant of
ficers, pay clerks and enlisted men of
the regular Army, the Navy, the Ma
rine Corps, the Coast Guard, the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Pub
lic Health Service, the Federally rec
ognized active National Guard, the
Officers' Reserve Corps, the Regular
Army Reserve; cadets, United States
Military Academy; midshipmen, U.
S. Naval Academy; cadets, U. S.
Coast Guard Academy; Reserve Of
ficers' Training Corps or Naval Re
sorve Officers' Training Corps, di
plomatic representatives, technical
attaches of foreign embassies and
legations, consuls general, consuls,
vice consuls, and consular agents of
foreign countries, residing in the
United States, who are not citizens
of the United States.
While holding office, the following
are exempted: the vice president of
the United States, the governors of
the states and territories, members
of the legislative bodies of each,
judges of the courts of record of the
states and territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
And now let's look at the part of
the act that has to do with conscien
tious objectors: "Regular or duly or
dained ministers of religion, and stu
dents who arc preparing for the min
istry in theological or divinity
schools recognized as such for more
than one year prior to the date of
the enactment of this act, shall be
exempt from training and service
(but not from registration)."
All these are the automatic ex
emptions, local draft boards must
sustain other conscientious objectors.
Those whom the local draft board
sustain can be drafted into non-com
bat training and if they are still con
scientiously objecting can be assign
ed to work of national importance
under civilian direction.
An objection not sustained by the
local board can be appealed to the
appeal board and then to the Depart
Jment of Justice. The appeal board
can (but needn't necessarily) follow
the recommendation! of the Depart
ment of Justice. What the local
board recommends is about the de
ciding factor regardless of appeals.
That more or less covers the con
scientious objectors and now let's see
what the act says about getting your

job back after the year's training
Boiled down, it states that anyone
who leaves a job or position in order
to perform the training will be on a
sort of furlough or leava of absence
during his period of training. If at
the end of that time he is still quali
fied to perform his duties he shall
be restored to his position or to a po
sition "of like seniority, status, and
Court will know the reason why.
If the process of pleading by the
person entitled to the benefits of such
provisions as these is upheld the em
ployer will be required to compen
sate such person for any loss of wages
or benefits suffered by reason of
such employer's unlawful action. j
In other words, the drafted man is
bound by law to get his job back at
,the old salary or one just as good if
the employer is still in business
I That's the employer's only out: the
jact says "unless the employer's cir
cumstances have so changed as to
make it impossible or unreasonable
to do so."
The United States District Attor
| ney will act and appear as attor
ney for such employees. No court
costs or fees will be taxed against
the person applying for his old job
or for benefits he missed during his
l period of training.
The conference report is 24 pages
long It is impossible to cover all
provisions, but it is noted that there
is to be no race or color discrimina
tion?either in selection and training
or in execution or interpretation of
the other provisions.
