No more deferments are to be made on the ground unless the registrants "are completely dis qualified morally and are not eligible for a waiver under the new army standards," the boards were told. Physicists Shortage The army has authorized waivers in "especially meritor ious cases" even for men who have served terms for treason, murder, rape, kidnaping, arson and other "heinous crimes" if their conduct has been fitting for at least six months after their release from confinement. In another draft development, a critical shortage of physicists has been recognized by the war manpower commission and se lective service, and the latter agency disclosed today new pro cedure for obtaining draft de ferment for persons in that field. A national committee has been set up with authority to investi gate physicists whose deferment hag been requestd by a college or other employer on the ground that he has special training and skill and is a necessary man in his work. - " Similar Procedure If the committee agrees the man is necessary, it will endorse the application for his deferment and return it to the man's local board.
