no fathers would be called until all
men with fewer dependency claims
have been called. The bill excepts
men with occupational deferments
and 4-F classification
Calls Plan Impractical.
Gen. Hershey said he opposed the
bill because it was unnecessary and
because it was impractical. He told
the committee that all the useful
purposes of the bill were already
being accomplished, except that non
deferrable fathers were now being
taken, and single men. single men
with collateral dependents and mar
ried men with wives only were being
drafted simultaneously rather than
in that order
He contended that if draft boards
stopped inducing non-deferrable
fathers they would have to call all
fathers cooner
He reiterated his prediction that
the general call on fathers was likely
in August Within the next two or
three months, he said. draft boards
will be very close to the bottom of
their supply of single men and child
less husbands
Promising to give 30 days notice
before the father draft begins. he
said he did not believe we're within
30 days now Gen. Hershey told
the committee the Kilday bill was
contrary to the whole principle of
simplifled, decentralized procedure. -
and declared that the uniformity it
seeks 'can be bought at too high a
price
2.600,0OO 4-F's.
Chairman Reynolds remarked that
he thought the strength of the bill
was attributable to the fact that
many people are observing drug
store cowboys while their husbands
are being taken
Asked to account for this, Gen.
Hershey pointed to the youth with
occupational deferments, deferred
students, young farmers deferred by
law and about 100000 4-Fs who
do not appear unfit for service.
He disclosed that a third of the
AIS had been rejected for psychia-
trio reasons. but he pointed out, in
answer to questions, that the ma
rines who returned from Guadal-
canal with mental breakdowns had
not gone through selective service
screening.
Comdr Henry Hederman, spokes-
man for the Navy. said the Navy De-
partment agreed with Gen. Hershey
and the War Department in oppos-
ing the bill and told the committee
that the Navy so far has reached
only half of its projected strength
and that its acceptance of men is
measured by its construction pro-
gram.
