A new full-time, thirteen-week
course to train women and men with
a 4-F draft classification for work
in aerial mapping will begin July 6
according to Prof. Robert H. Sher
lock, Coordinator of Engineering
Science, and Management Defens
Training.
"Those successfully completing the
course will be prepared for Civi
Service appointments in the Nationa
Defense Mapping program, and wil
make maps from aerial photographs
of Alaska, the new highway to Alas-
ka, each of the coasts to a depth of
250 miles and our new island bases,"
said Prof. Sherlock.
The work will be directed by the
U.S. Corps of Engineers, and will be
carried out by Federal agencies such
as the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Sur-
vey and the AAA. According to Prof
Sherlock the work will probably be
continued after the war.
Candidates are eligible if they have
completed three and one-half years
of study in any field and a high
school or college course in trigonom-
etry, or if they have two years of
college training with a major study
in engineering, architecture, physics,
chemistry, mathematics, forestry or
geology.
Tuition and similar charges will
be paid by the Federal government,
but students are expected to provide
their own subsistence, textbooks and
transportation.
It was originally intended that the
course be given only to women, but
it has recently been opened to men
with the 4-F draft classification.

Lottery Fraud
frings"~ A reeats
Internallontal Syndica e'
Detroit Men Indicted
DETROIT. June 16.-(A')-Federal
authorities, in conjunction with au-
thorities in Cuba and Panama. began
a concerted roundup today of 64 men
indi(ted here in conne(tiou th l an
interiwtional lottery syndicate which
postal officials said had been col-
lectinig a million dollars a year from
gullible ticket-purchasers.
U.S. District Attorney J. C. Lehr
disclosed the existence of the indict-
ments, which charge conspiracy and
mail fraud, more than two weeks af-
ter their return by a Federal grand
jury whose action culminated a two-
year investigation by postal inspec-
tors. Lehr explained that U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Ernest A. O'Brien of De-
troit had suppressed the indictments
to facilitate arrangements for the ar-
rest of the defendants.
Lehr said the ring's operations in-
cluded 45 different lotteries, includ-
ing that of the Republica de Cuba
Hospital Fund. He described its tech-
nique as a combination of "efficient
business and racketeering methods"
applied on a nation-wide scale.
More than half of the defendants
were from New York and New Jer-
sey, although ten states, Cuba and
Panama were represented in the list.
The grand jury investigation was
conducted in Detroit, Lehr explained,
because eleven Michigan residents
were regarded as co-conspirators, al-
though not named as defendants in
the case.
