 Tt IS not expected that there will be any hesitation on the part of either labor or industry to accept this basic condition of the nations safety"
 The White House suggested that the participants in the conference set up machinery for settlement Of disputes, machinery which might include appropriate procedures for adjusting disputes, for mediation and for resort in defense industries to some tribunal whose decisions will be binding by agreement on aii par- ties.
 "But it is for the conferees to de. eide what form the machinery will take SO long only as an agreement Is reached" the statement added Since the efficacy of that agrees ment will depend upon the voluntary cooperation of all concerned, empha- sis Is placed on the fact that 1t must represent Q unanimous accord" The emergency confronting the nation is so grave that the president asked the conferees to report to him within "a very few days after converting" here next week.
 The machinery set up by the con- ference conceivably could replace the national defense mediation board the effectiveness of which was dan- aged by the recent resignaticns of its two CIO members, Murray and Thomas Kennedy, secretary -treas- urer of the United Mine Workers.

DRAFT BILL IS

 Hershey told the conferees that an additional 1000, 900 men probably can be combed out of present regis- trants between the ages of 2l and 28 and that 100000 men reach the age of military service annual ly.
 We may need c lot of men," he said. land we've got to find out now where we can get them."
 The first phase probably will Do to draw upon the l7600,000 men in the already registered 2l to 36 year age group. Only about 100000 inductions have been made in that class. Her- shey believes inductions could be inc creased to 4,O00, 900 men.
 Get Them In Uniform
 Hershey feels that the problem Is to Egt men swiftly into uniform, Immediate reconsideration of the l0,- 000,O0 registrantS in the 2l to 20 age bracket is possible and legisla- tive action may be sought to make available the 7,500,00 men in the 2e- 35 age group.
 Hershey suggested that lowering selection standards 1000, 900 in class l-A, fully a million able-bodied men" might be obtained from the 26.36 group.
 The army is expected to notify selective service headquarters at once of its needs for January and February quotas. They have been averaging about 66,O00 per month recently. Hershey indicated that they would be doubled or tripled" over previous plans for those two months. That might mean that 500,000 men would be called to the colors during the next two months.
 Meanwhile, authorities sought to close loopholes on bccupational de- ferments. Conferences with defense manufacturers have been held re- gently, and Hershey believes that 200 900 men may be made available for military service from defense m- dustry workers.
