Army 10 Draw Heavily
On New Draft Group,
Hershey Disc|oses
Druft Chief Gives Duta
On Age Groups Expected
To Furnish IA SeIectees

The 5000, 900 men between 20 and
IS who will register for selective
service February 16 will be drawn on
heavily to reach the 1912 Army
strength of 100000, Brig Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey, national draft di-
rector. made it clear In q press
conference late yesterday.
Gen. Heshey estimated that l,0O0,-
600 already registered and classified
In IA would provide more than halt
of the increase, but the majority
of the remainder will come from the
new registrants.
He said national headquarters has
figured that about 100000 OF the
100000 younger men to register
next month-those 20 years old and
the 21-year-olds who have reached
that age since the July l registra-
tion-will be potential Class IA ma
terial.
The 100000 men between 81
and As cannot be counted on to
furnish more than 100000 for active
service due to the large percentage
of deferments for dependents. nee
essary occupations and physical
shortcomings, he said.
Gen. Hershey announced that all
existing classifcations would be re-
examined to correct any deferments
for dependency that should not
have been granted. While assuring
that no families will be "unduly
disrupted" he served notice that
those who seek to avoid duty with
armed forces by marriages OF con-
venience will get little sympathy
from the selective service system"
The draft director made 1t clear,
however. that the objective Of the
system was and must remain that Of
attempting to place or leave each
registrant where he can perform the
greatest service for the Nation"
Meanwhile a congressional In
vestigation Of draft deferments was
proposed by Representative Barry,
Democrat. of New York.
He said he had received numer-
Gus complaints charging unjustified
deferments and expressed the opin-
ion that "a review Of deferments
by non partisan congressional
committee would have an excellent
effect on the morale of the country"
