Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, d.

night and added that only one thing
would determine the eventual size
of the Army-'it must be large
enough to win this war" The forum.

by N. B. c.
THE selective service system will
expect industry and agriculture to
use to the maximum individuals who
do not possess the capacities for
service in the armed forces" Gen.
Hershey said. 1.-THE selective service
system will expect a gradual but
constant substitution Of women for
men who are fit to fight"
Gen. Hershey also said that
although registration of previously
unregistered men between the ages
of 20 and A has been set for
February 16, enrolment would be
permitted earlier--pogibly the pre-
ceding Saturday or Sunday-to avoid
interference WITH prodnction.
Declaring that the size Of the

only one yardstick-"it must be large
enough to win this Warden.
Hershey announced that local boards
would scrutsnize more closely the
actual dependency of a wife.
Married men with dependents will
continue to be deferred until the
need for men becomes much
greater" than at present, he said,
but added there will be closer at
tention Ito the manner in which the

was established"
"Selective service will continue to
defer those individuals industry
must have to produce the materials
necessary to equip our forces

New War Labor Board
Chairl1',|anshlp liksIy
10 Be Rotated
PIon Proposed to Relieve
individual Chief From
Too Much Criticism
b. the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press
A proposal for rotating the chair
manship Of the new War Labor
Board among four '$l0,000-A-year
public members was understood
today to be under consideration by
those drafting the machinery under
which the board will function.
President Roosevelt Is expected
to name the board this week after
issuing an executive order creating
it. Present plans call for . I2-nem-
Der group consisting of four men
each from labor and industry and
four representatives of the public.
Differs From Board.
Should the rotation and full-time
salary recommendations be adopted
by the President, the board will
differ considerably from the De-
tense Mediation Board which 1t will
supersede. The latter board Is
headed by a single chairman-Wil-
liam H. Davis-and he and the
other public members are paid on
a per diem basis.
BY rotating the Craftsmanship no
individual would be subject to so
much criticism by those disagreeing
with board decisions, 1t was said.
Mr.. Davis, who u among those be-
ing mentioned for a publis post on
the new board, bore the brunt of
much Of the criticism OF the Me-
diation Boards decisions.
New Yorker Is Considered.
Thomas Murray, a New York in
dustrial engineer and former re-
ceiver for the marlborough Rapid
Transit Co., was said today to be
receiving serious consideration AS a
public representative. He recently
was named as an arbitrator in a
c. I. o. dispute at the Ball Air
craft Co.. Buffalo. N. Y. This case
was settled before it went to arbi-
trati0n, but Mr.. Murray'S prelimi-
nary efforts were understood to
have won the praise Of Secretary Of
Labor Perkins.
Miss Perkins is expected to sub
NIT q list OF names to Mr.. Roosevelt
from which the II members will be
selected.
Among others said to be under
consideration for the public posts
are James M. Lands, dean Of Har-
ward Law School; Lloyd Garrison,
dean of law of the University Of
Wisconsin, and James A. Farley,
former Postmaster General.

In fact, there was a difference of
opinion on the ability of the in
dustry to do the job within the time
limit. Mr.. Wilson told reporters
after the conference that while Gen.
eral Motors could start production
of the new orders within few
weeks" he doubted whether the in
dustry could achieve $4,000, 900 900
in war production in the II months.
He predicted it would take General
Motors until the end of the year to
complete its retooling.
1t was understood, moreover, that
Mr.. Wilson proposed in the closed
session that passenger car produc-
ton be continued beyond January 81
to avoid severe dislocation in the in
dustry. Mr.. Henderson was reported
considering asking the Supply Prior
