 The first Waterburians to be re- leased from military training are ex- pected to be those over the 28-year agelimit now in effect. They must apply for discharge.
 Herhey said the army plans to be- gin releasing men September l.
 "It is vital to the successful opera tion of the selective service system that the men who have answered the call of their country be protected in their legal right to reemploy- ment," Hershey said.
 Hershey instructed each state selective director to designate a re- employment committeeman for each local board who will be charged with enforcing the provision of the selecttve service act requir- ing employers to rehire discharged draftees, unless it would mean "un- due hardship" and with the general unemployment problems of return ing soldiers and their former em- ployers. This committeeman may be a board member, board adviser, or an outsider.
