Who Ask DeferraI
Have Entered Service
Hershey Makes Report
To Tydines Committee;
900 Coses Involved

A relatively large number" OF
Government employees for whom
draft deferment originally was con-
sidered have subsequently gone into
the military service through induc-
ton or as volunteers, Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, director of Selective Serv-
ice, informed Senator Tydings, Dem

AS chairman Of a special Senate

inquire into deferments for Govern
ment personnel. At that time he
transmitted list of approximately
900 cases, with q request that Gen.
Hershey review them.
Reports Progress.
Today's letter was a progress re-
port. in which Gen. Hershey ex-
planned:
The first phase of the investiga-
ernmental agencies concerned and
obtaining statements from them re-
garding the basis for each individ-
ual request for deferment, to-
gether with other information
bearing on the classification of the
registrant.
These preliminary steps have
now been completed, and much val
liable information obtained. AS a
check against this information, the
local boards having jurisdiction over
the registrants concerned are now
being required to furnish informa-
ton showing the reason for granting
the reouest-Whether or not sworn
affidavit in the form of DSS Form
42-A or any other form has been
filed, and other information bear
ing on the classification of the reg
istrants

BAYONNE, N, j., Aug. 20

to private management this aft
ernoon by Rear Admiral Harold
G. Bowen, acting under an order

the President ordered the Navy to
take over after employees voted TO
continue a four-day strike in pro-
test against War Labor Board de-
cision refusing them pay increases.
The return to private manage
ment was recommended by Admiral
Bowen after the employees voted
unanimously Tuesday night not to
permit any further production in
terruptions during the war.
In turning back the plant, Admiral
Bowen told Dwight R. G. Palmer,
General Gable president: The
Navy appreciates the splendid CO.
operation and assistance of the cor
porat ation' S executive and manage
ment staffs who were directed by
you upon the Navys arrival to carry
out every wish of the Nays staff
Admiral Bowen also said in a
statement that the realization by the
employees that their stoppage of war
production was giving aid and COIN
fort to the enemy made possible the
termination of Government opera
ton and averted the possibility OF
grave consequences.
He said further that six hours
after his arrival at the plant. which
has contracts for war supplies, nor
NAL production was resumed, there

u REPRESENTATIVE FADDIS of Penn
IN sylvania declared in speech in the
House of Representatives that the CAM
paign being conducted for a second front
by Earl BroWder. the Communist leader,
is "a brazen insult to the intelligence OF
the American people"
1.-THE decisions affecting the establish
ment of a second front" said Faddis,
"must be made by our military and naval
authorities who are responsible for its
success and not by some gas bag OF soap
box orator whose patriotism is even more
questionable than his ability
Faddis is most charitable in his re-
marks about Browder
Browder only recently was released
from the federal prison at Atlanta, to
which he had been sentenced for violation
of the passport laws
In May. 1917, he was Jailed in Platte
County Missouri, for refusing TO register
for the draft.
Six months later he was sentenced TO
two years at Leavenworth on the charge
of obstructing the draft.
His record in the present war has been
that of all party lire Communists.
Whatever has been Moscow's interest
in the war has been HIS interest.
SO what is sad now IN dlsparaGemert
of his qualifications TO determine American
interest in the matter of second front is
truly said.
THE same might be said Of the quail
l fcations of Wendell WIlIkie although
of course for different reasons.
Mr. Willkie is NOT an authority on
the second front, or any other military
matters.
And his rather purposclcss fight to
Moscow has not made him an authority
on these matters.

A Second FROM and Earl Browder

When he advocates a second front as
an aid to Russia, before competent and
responsible American and British military
authorities are agreed it can be undertaken
without disaster to the United States and
Great Britain, he talks with the same voice
as Browder-MOSCOW'S voice.
NJ ATURALLY. the second front is de-
v sirable-not only to Russia but to
the United Nations
Inevitably there is going to be second
front.
But it must be SUCCESSFUL.
1t must not be undertaken prematurely
recklessly or foolishly.
1t must not be foredoomed to another
Norway debacle or another Dunkirk
catastrophe.
1t must lead to victory and peace, not
to further defeat and disgrace.
Russia is pleading for a diversion, no
matter what it may cost.
Our predominatng self-interest cannot
be of less concern to us than RusSia's to
her
Browder and Willke have added
nothing to the second front discussion but
discussion and confusion.
As Representative Faddis has said,
the second front is strictly a military
problem and is only to be solved by those
competent to decide when and where it
should be established and responsible for
its success.
If we do not have competent and
responsible military leadership, capable of
something more than temporary ard
probably futile diversion for the sake
Of Russia and certainly capable of some
thing more than a costly military mis-
adventure potentially fatal to ourselves, we
should speedily assure ourselves of such
leadership.
