decision to call off the strike, dis

Married Men Face
Early Draft Call,
Gen. Hershey Says
Declares Million Will
Be Inducted Unless
1919 Law Is Passed
Py the Associated Press

Py the Associated Press.
Unless the Nation starts drafting
18 and 19-year-olds very soon,' il
will be necessary to induct 900. .00C
to 500 900 married men, Maj. Gen
Lewis B. Hershey, selective service
director, told the House Defense
Migration Committee yesterday.
He also said the demands of q
swiftly expanding Army necessitateo
induction of men suffering from
venereal diseases.
Eases Draft Requirements.
Gen. Hershey told the committee
/. The Army now is inducing 10
per cent of the eligible illiterates in
each induction station, and would
begin on October l to take in those
suffering from venereal diseases,
probably on basis Of per cent of
the Nations total.
2. In his opinion, married men
with children could expect to be
called into service by the last quar-
ter of next year, and perhaps earlier
if the quotas of the armed forces are
increased.
3. Eventually, those in the 18-and-
19-year-old age bracket would have
to be called, and that step would
have to come very soon or the large
scale induction of married men
would be necessary.
U. S. Need First Consideration.
Gen. Hershey told the committee
that a mans occupational skill
rather than the number of his de-
pendents-would become the major
basis for granting deferments from
service with the armed forces.
"We are rapidly going to the place
where what man can do for his
country, that is occupationally, must
transcend other things" he as
serted.
Gen. Hershey emphasized that the
national headquarters of the Selec-
tive Service System recognizes that
this war cannot be won by placing
every man in the armed forces, but
that proper balance must be
maintained as between the fighting
man on the one hand and material,
including food for them and the
civilian population on the other
hand"
Passes 4,500, 900 Mark.
He indicated that the size of the
Army by the end of the year would
exceed the 100000 strength an
nounced by Gen. George Marshall,
Chief OF Staff, in June, as this year s
goal.
THAT is no longer the figure, Gen.
Hershey said.
He said he did not know the
Army's ultimate size, but said "the
actual demand has been raised in
recent months" and added that, on
the basis of what information he
had, "if I should plot a curve, it
would be somewhat startling"

Thomas Calls
For u. 5. Probe
Of Housing Here

President r. ]. Thomas of the
UAW-CIO today demanded con-
gressional investigation OF the
overall housing situation and
suggested a seven-point program
to avert housing crisis.
His recommendation were for
warded to President Roosevelt,
John p. Bradford, National Hous-
ing Agency head; Donald M. Nell
son. WPB chief. and United
States Senate and House members.
Under the Thomas plan. all
private construction would be
banned unless earmarked for war
workers. All privately-held build
ing materials would be frozen
and rationed for use only in war
housing under federal supervision.
HITS ESCAPE CLAUSE
Thomas called for elimination
OF the 30-day priorities escape
clause, under which a home con-
structed for a war worker may
be thrown on the open market
IL he does not occupy the house
within 80 days after completion.
Charging that there is now in
dication that the entire priority
system for war housing has
broken down completely, Thomas
urged the institution of an honest
priorities system which would
forbid all but genuine war worker
housing.
Such a system, he said. should
be controlled by single con-
struction section of the WPB in
dustries division.
ASKS PUBLIC BASIS
War housing. Thomas suggested,
should be divorced from the FILA
and should be done on public
basis. Present FILA building
should be subjected 10 review as
to its ACCESSIBILITY. need, location
and use, he said.
In critical war areas, the union
heads program would place all
home building under a local hous-
ing authority, which would in
clude a labor representative, or
would work with a housing COM
mittee of organized labor.
Perhaps the most CHASTITY
field for investigation In FLA
title g." Thomas declared. /
Under this title 100000 units
are ready for occupancy, yet \
less than 80 per cent have gone
TO war workers. IL IL simply
another case of business-as-
usual"
He recommended that title 81
be rendered null and void.
Thomas further suggested that 4
.'ental vacancies be registered
with the local housing or rent 1
control administrator and that I
war workers be gwen priority on
occupancy.
