House Committee Told
Proposal May Be
Adopted Soon
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

A ban on granting occupa-
tional deferments to all men
under % years of age, including
more than $4,000 in Government
service alone, is being considered
by Selective service in its effort
to make as many nonfathers as
possible available for induction
ahead of preWar fathers, Maj.
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey told the
House Military Affairs Commit
tee yesterday.
Gen. Hershey disclosed this plan
at a closed session of the commit
tee, but much of his testimony was
revealed to reporters later at a
meeting with Chairman May and
1t. Col. Francis V. Keesling, selec-
tive service liaison officer.
The press conference was called
by Mr.. May to correct an earlier
misunderstanding that fathers would
be called by age groups. 1t de-
veloped that Mr.. May had misun-
derstood Gen. Hershey's reference
to age groups and that the reference
to ages had been in connection with
banning occupational deferments
to both fathers and non-fathers be-
tween the ages of Is and 21.
| Col. Keesling emphasized that the
plan to limit occupational defer
ments to older men still was under
discussion, but said it might be
adopted soon, not only to provide
another source of manpower but
also because granting occupational
deferments to young men has be-
come "a morale problem"

boards to defer men under % in War
