STATE AGENCIES TO Alp NEW
INDUCTION PROGRAM

The fullest use of the facilities
and records of the Health, Welfare
and Educational agencies of the
State is assured by Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor for the fulfillment of the
new medical survey program Of the
Selective Service System.
Brigadier General Lewis B. Her.
shey, Director of the Selective Ser
vice, made the request of Governor
O'Conor in explaining. the details
of the survey. In outlining the steps
to be taken, General Hershey indi-
Gated that surprisingly large num-
Der Of registrants have been found
incapable of performing military
training and service because of men
tai and emotional disorders.
AS an example, Governor O'Conor
was told that $500 men discharg-
ed from service in one state up to
August 1, 1912, approximately 400
were discharged for mental and emo
tional disorders. Because Of these
defects Selectiye Service officials es-
innate 1t will be necessary to dis
charge more than 100000 men in
the armed forces during this calen-
dar year.
In an effort to avoid the induction
of such persons, General Hershey
informed Governor O'Conor, Selec-
tive Service Headquarters officials
feel that more complete information
must be secured with regard to reg
istrants. this end, he said, broad
program has been developed by
which pertinent mental and social
history of registrants is to be secur-
ed and submitted to the medical ex-
aminers att the induction station as
an aid in determining the fitness OF
unfitness of registrants. This pro-
gram will require the cooperation
of organizations and departments
both public and private, concerned
with mental health, social welfare
and secondary education, the Gov
ernor was told.

program will be used only in connec
ton with determining the acceptance
or rejection of individual registrants
"In the three years of administra
ton of the Selective Service System
General Hershey told Governor o.
Conor, there has been a most sue
cessfIul cooperation of State and Fed
eral agencies concerned. While pres
emit response to the medical survey
program from various organization!
has been most generous it may b.
concluded that the ultimate success
of the program will depend upol
the cooperation and support of es
tablished agencies of the State Gov
Iernment.
SIT is our purpose, in addressing
you, to acQuaint you generally witt
the plan and the purpose of the med
ical survey program, to solicit you
i continued assistance and coopera
tion, and to request that you maxi
available for this program the per
sonnet and resources of the health
welfare, and educational agencies
of your state"

PLANNING FOR PEACE

A committee on Utilization of War
Plants and Surplus property has been
formed under the Craftsmanship OF
Albert C. Mattel of San Francisco
On the committee are rs or more
business men from all classes of in
dustry and all sections of the coun-
try. They will study how to best uti.
lie or dispose Of surplus war plants
and supplies. On their analysis and
recommendations will largely rest
the future industrial program of this
nation. Business men have been in
vited to bring phases of the prob
lens that are of particular concern
to them to the attention of the COM
mittee.
The immensely of the Job is a
staggering undertaking. But the men
in indstry who build up the nations
war production and SURPRISES needed
by our armed forces, will figure
ways to dispose of or utilize the pro-
duction capacity acquired by the gov
eminent in such manner as to not
cripple or destroy private activity,
both large and small, in the days of
peace to come.
This committee should have the
hearty and unselflsh cooperation of
every section of the country, for on
the soundness of its planning will
depend much Of the future employ
ment and prosperity Of this country.

The complexlty of the job is such,
he said In an address to the clinic,
that no one university should at
tempt to do it all, but rather there
should be an assignment of prob

particular fields. Efforts should be

Brewster Investigators
Move for Review Of
Unionists' Draft Status
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A move to request Selective Serv-
ice Director Lewis B. Hershey to
review the occupational draft de-
ferments of union officials developed
today as an offshoot of a House Naval
Affairs Subcommittee Investigation
OF plane production failures at the
Brewster Aeronautical Corp. plants.
Representative Mas, Republican,
OF Minnesota said he planned to
write Gen. Hershey suggesting that
he might well re-examine the de-
ferment of union officials to deter
mine their essentially"
His action followed the commit
tees discovery yesterday that two
officials in Brewster Local 365,
United Automotive Workers, CIO-
Secretary Paul Krebs and Financial
Secretary Gabriel de Angelis-had
been classified 2-B, essential men in
an essential industry.
Representative Johnson. Republi-
can, of California said he planned to
refer those two cases in particular
to Gen. Hershey.
"If man holds an essential posi-
ton in an industry, that's different"
he said, but to defer fellows like
these works an injustice"
Mr.. Krebs is 80 and unmarried
but he told the committee he has
stomach ulcers which probably
would place him in 4-F. Mr.. de
Angels is "a, married with one child
months old.
At one point during yesterdays
hearing Mr.. de Angels protested be-
ing interrupted by Representative
Hebert, Democrat. of Louisiana and
demanded permission to complete
an answer.

you can have all the rope you want
to hang yourself
IF I am going to be hanged" re-
piled Mr., de Angels, Il want to do
it myself"
Mr. de Angels was told by chair
man Drewry that he had come
pretty close to putting yourself in
contempt of Congress" in some of
his writings in the unions news
paper about the investigation. The
witness had testified he was editor
of the newspaper.
Mr. de Angels defended his draft
deferment by contending "a part
and parcel of the war is the trade
union fight to maintain conditions
as they were when the boys left"
Mr., Mas replied that it wasn't
necessary for young whipper snap
pers" to carry on union work. when
older men could do Just as we'll.

for receivership and liquidation OF

Farm Security Administration ST.
100000 cooperative farm project
has been filed in Superior Court here
by Is of the IS members of the as
sociation.
Residents who brought the action
charge that mismanagement and
costly and eXtravagant practices
resulting from vested control in the
FSA has cost the project thousands
OF dollars and that it would be in
solvent now had it not been for the
war and the increased value of agri-
cultural projects and livestock.
The FSA testified at House sub
committee hearing more than a year
ago that the Government had in
vested $1,250,000, not including an
operating loan, in the 5,000-acre en-
terprise, an investment of more than
S32 1000 for each of the then 80 fafni-
lies.
C. B. Baldwin, FSA administrator
recommended at that time that all
FSA rehabilitation projects be sold
and liquidated.

filed by members that the associa-
tion's assets have increased SIPS 900

The association borrowed $l73,260
from the Government to begin it's
operations in 1887. 1t does not own

This is the first month in 1943
