U. S. Navy May
Have to Draft
Men to Serve
Volunteers Fewer
as Ships Sink

Washington. Nov. 26-INS- Re.
yealing a fifteen per cent drop In
Navy enlistments as the result OF
the torpedoings of American de
stroyers In the Atlantic, Secretary
of Navy Knox today said that II
may be necessary to draft men for
service to keep up the Nays
strength.
Knox expressed the hope that 1t
would still be possible to keep the
Navy on a volunteer service basis
but pointed out that recent events
have disclosed that a shortage now
exists and that the Navy within the
next few months may find 1t neces-
sary TO adopt selective service.
"As a result Of its recruiting of.
forts. Navy enlistments for the first
four months Of This fiscal year have
been at the rate Of 10000 men a
month. with the trend upward"
Knox said.
However. since the Kearny and
Reuben James incidents. there has
been a decline In the rate Of en-
listments Of about Is per cent Of
young men who wanted to and
would otherwise have Joined the
Navy"
Knox explained that the drop in
enlistments apparently was due to
the withdrawal of parents consent
to minors who wished to join the
Navy.
ut Is highly desirable for today's
two ocean navy TO be maintained as
volunteer service" Knox continued.
"A ship at sea Is too small place
to maintain discipline and efficiency
among men, some Of whom may not
wish to be there. Everyone in the
country is proud Of the Navy. and
most people are firmly convinced
that the Navy is ready to handle
any tasks of national defense that
may be assigned to It,"

A waiting list OF candidates Is
maintained, and each month a few

received rapid promotions In the

training for home defense, will
benefit and serve a patriotic pur-
pose by becoming members Of the
local company.

All Defense
Work Planned

Ypsilanti soon will have a local
manufacturing company concerned
nearly 100 per cent with national
defense production. The company
soon to fill its production schedules
with defense products is the Ham,
mond Electro Plating Co., En-
erick St., OF which Harry B. Ham
mond Is the head.
Company production, Mr.. Ham
mond said, Is now about so per
cent taken by orders for electro
plated faucets to be supplied con-
tractors constructing new govern
mental buildings, emergency de-
tense housing projects, and milf
tary camps.
Part of the company's produc-
ton, he said. is now filled with ord
ers for electroplated units for au-
tomobile dashboards. When al
Qffice- of Production Management
Older prohibiting such electroplat-
ing on automobiles becomes effec-
tive next month, Mr.. Hammond
said, such orders will be stopped.
Orders for electroplated faucets
may be expected to increase NJ
about the same time, Mr.. Hammond
said, as construction projects are
developed. Such orders, he added,
are sub-let contracts, the local arm
electroplating faucets sent here
by other manufacturers.
Mr.. Hammond estimated produc-
ton In his plant at nearly so per
cent above last years level at a
comparable period. Employment.
he said. is also nearly so per cent
higher.
Because OF the use OF the firms
products in important defense pro
jects, the company has been placed
high on the priority rating list.
Difficulty in obtaining materials Is
due more to the amount Of red
tape TO be cut. he said. than be
cause Of priority barriers.
