President Refuses
Speculation on Role
OF Nelson on Return

The future Of Donald M. Nelson
as chairman Of the War Production
Board continued in the indefinite
stage today as President Roosevelt
once more refused to speculate on
what might happen.
Asked as his news conference yes
terday about the status" Of j. A.
Krug, who is acting chairman while
Mr.. Nelson is in China on 4 presi-
dental mission, the President re-
sponded OF -handedly that he sup
posed the payroll showed Mr.. Krug
as acting chairman, but that the
point Is, he is running the agency.
Mr.. Roosevelt added that he would
not talk about the future. This sub
stantially was the same response he
made when the question of Mr.. Mel
sons further connection with the
WPB was brought up last week at
news conference.
The issue was raised yesterday
when the President was asked to
comment on statement by Senator
Ferguson, Republican, of Michigan,
that-according to reliable sources"
Mr.. Nelson is due to succeed James
F. Byrnes as director of war mobil-
ization when he gets back.
Wants to Know Source.
The President said that If the
Senator would tell him where he
got his information he would give
him an answer.
He added he had some rights to
know where certain information
comes from and chided those who
try to hide identity of their in
formantS by using such terms as
high official sources. He said he
sometimes wonders about the source
and that he was going to try to
find out where Senator Ferguson
got his information.
The President smiled and said he
had spread few rumors himself
to watch how and by whom they are
spread, and appeared to enjoy it.
When reporter said he had heard
from "a very low source" that OPA
Director chester BoWleS might head
the new reconversion program. the
President said Mr.. BoWles' agency
was getting along all right with no
/ internal rows there.
Ferguson Advises Waiting.
Advised of the Presidents S remarks,
Senator Ferguson asserted:
Il think good thing we can do is
wait until Mr.. Nelson returns and
Mr.. Byrnes resigns"
Senator Ferguson said the Presi-
dent apparently did not say Mr. Nell
son would not be the next mobiliza-
ton director.
During the day, Representative
Halleck, Republican of Indiana. told
the House that Mr.. Krug's chief
qualification up to now seems to be
that he is the choice of the New
Deal backstairs cabal who have sue

only a week ago." Mr.. Halleck
said, "the President was protesting
that he was not kicking Donald
Nelsan in the teeth. And within
three days it developed that the
President was not just kicking him
in the teeth-that he was just kick
ing him 10000 miles across the
Pacific"

Confusion Again
Cincinnati Enquirer

Perhaps it is merely concidental, and perhaps unavoidable but there has been revival of the certainty, doubt and confusion Selectve Service plans approval of the act reesablishing General Lewis B Hershey as chief arbiter of the nations manpower controls.
 The act, of course created many miscon- captions Some regarded it a flat assurance that pre-Pear Harbor fathers will not be drafted At best it will merely delay the induction of those in nondeferrabe occupations.
 If may tender suggestion to General Hershey in the kndest of spirits it is that he refrain much as possible from public statements and 'explana- tions" regarding Selective Service plans and regula tions. Once that know of, since presidential approval of the act statement of his has been tn subject of widespread misinterpretatan his com ment deferment by age groups.
 General Hershey also has indicated that many more nductees may be found in the group now classified AZ, which he calls "a rich field" We fear that he may be creating another msconception here Men examined for service and classified AZ are in instances where there may be improvement in their physical status, reaxmined periodically.
 The only way in which any considerable number of inductees could be secured from among the ranks of 4-Fs would be to lower the Army and Navy physical standards apprecably In the long run this might prove to be an expensive undertaking More to the point, however it would be in direct con- tradction of the Army policy in which all men were reaxamined in recent month, and those not qualified for unlimited service discharged-after con- siderable amount of money had been spent for their training. There were at least million men thus released from the Army. If physical standards are lowered for the induction of more linen from 4-F, would the greater part of these be called back into the Army again?
 It seems to us that have had changes of policy much too frequently in the Selective Service setup. Perhaps the less talk of more changes the better.
