I'TEEN AGE GROUP IN DRAFT QUOTA
Two Large COntingents Leaving Shortly for Final
 Physical Examinations

Two large contingents of Waterbury draft eligibles will go to Hartford next week for final physical examinations by Army doctors. Those ac- cepted will be immedia tely sworn into the Army and given furloughs to wind up their personal affairs. The contingents, whose total is one of the largest yet sent from this city, will make up the city's January selective Service quota, 1t is understood that the February quota will be far larger.
 Instead of the two-week fur. loughs which were given until last month, the new inductees will re- ceive only eight days. The DeceI1l- Der inductees received 11-day fur- loughs to allow them to remain home over the Christmas holidays.
 Young men of the lS.i9 age group will be included in next weeks groups. However, at least one board will not send any of the teen age group, having enough older men to fill It's quota. Some married men are also included in the January quota, this group being composed of men married since the proclama- ton of a national emergency or whose wives are not dependent on them for support.

 control scheduling of war weapons as well as other operations bear ing on production, and says Wil- son has complete authority to step into any bottle-neck situation and order production changes. For ex- ample, Wilson can order one plant to stop producing valves and turn out heat exchangers if the latter IS more urgently needed ct a given time.
 This authority, wilson said, has not been challenged by the armed services and they are giving WIPE their complete cooperation.
 Oflcials credit Cordiner with revolutionizlng scheduling during the few weeks he has been on the job. One of his first steps, they said, was to obtain e decision from the chiefs of staff on how the 7,- 500, ,00O-man army of 1943 would be disposed-how many in the infan- try, air corps, quartermaster corps and other branches. With this in- formation, 1t was possible to de- termine what equipment the men would need and all materials goals were patterned accordingly.
 Nelson appeared little concerned ct 8 recent press conference about @ long memorandum prepared by Undersecretary of War Robert Pat terson entitled "The necessity for continued military responsibility for equipping the armed services" :"
 The memorandum was marked for restricted circulation and went to Q selected group. It held that no one but the armed forces 1S competent to establish and change military requirements or to receive, use and maintain the material in this field. This much, it was said, is conceded by advocates of Q de. partment of munitions.
 "It has never been the thought of the armed forces that they alone could mobilize the country for war;" the memorandum stated. ". !. There is no thought that the mill tary departments should control American economy. It is essential merely that the armed forces pro- cure munitions which they alone are able to procure, while civilian agencies direct the economy of the country to assist and make pos sible such civilian procurement"
 He said production has been SC balanced that more than 30 per cent of the war production has been placed in the hands of troops and that to shift scheduling and procurement of munitions to ci- yilian control would be disastrous and a "grave mistake" because 1t divided responsibility and authority
