By MIRIAM OTTENBERG.

Sixty-two out of SO District
men scheduled to 60 into the
armed forces today were sent
home because of the order halt
ing inductions of men over Is,
while District draft officials held
a conference to determine how
long it will take to clear the rolls
OF the men under Is.
Men over 25 who are not con-
tributing to the war effort will start
going into the armed forces again
before the end of this week, District
officials said.
Included in this group will be
some Government workers, it was
indicated. A District draft spokes-
man said that only men who actu-
ally are in agencies directly con-
nected with the war effort and doing
more important jobs than running
an elevator or delivering messages
viii be considered as contributing to
the war effort.
Before the conference District
'omcials refused to predict how long
1t will take to process all the men
under Is here. Until this is done,
men over Is who are contributing
to the war effort, even though they
have not been deferred as "neces-
sary men,, will not be called.
State selective service directors
estimates of the time to be con-
sumed in processing the younger
men ranged from a few weeks to
more than two months. One ma
tional official said he thought two
months would be about average.
District draft boards, a local
spokesman said, will be told to fol-
low this procedure:
The boards will make a survey of
the men already scheduled to re-
port for induction over the next
To-day period. Men over Is who
are making contribution to essen
tlal agriculture, war production or
transporting activities will be told
their induction has been postponed
1t was estimated that it would take
a few days for the boards to COM
plete the survey and until then all
District men over Is will be granted
a temporary stay of induction.
Men over Is who sign or already
have signed voluntary induction pa
pers will be sworn in.
Men in this age group who al
ready have received their notice to
report for their pre-induction ply
sical examination will 60 on sched-
ule, but future orders for pre-in-
duction physicals will go only to
men between the ages of 18 and
20 until further notice.
AS draft boards are notified the
men are acceptable, the boards will
send induction notices for the time
being only to the NEIL under 26
and older men who are not in
essential work.

ALGIERS, April 10.-Gen.
Charles de Gaulle today was con-
fronted with a direct challenge
to his authority as president of
the French Committee of Ma
tional Liberation as Gen. Henri
Giraud stood firm on his refusal
to accept dismissal as COM
mander in chief of the French
armed forces.
Gen. Girauds stand apparently
left the next move in the contest
between the two generals squarely
up to Gen. de Gaulle, but there was
no indication of the latter's probable
course of action. The situation was
further confused by the assertion of
some Giraud followers that several
members of the Liberation Commit
tee had threatened to resign in an
expression Of sympathy with him.
The Giraudists declared that
among these committee members
were Navy Commissioner Louis Jac-
quinot and Air Commissioner Fer
!nand Grenier, who, they said. had
not signed the decree which yester-
day abolished Gen. Girauds post as
commander and at the same time
named him inspector general" of
the armed forces. A committee
spokesman, however, said all the
committee members had signed.
Giraud Sends Sharp Letter.
The 65-year-old Giraud, who
escaped from France in 194l to take
over leadership of French armed
forces, sent sharp formal letter to
Gen. de Gaulle declaring the action
violated French republican law as
we'll as French National Committee
ordinances determining a separation
of civil and military powers and or
ganization of high command.
Il am not resigning," Gen. Giraud
said. Il accept neither the principle
OF suppression of the post of COM
mander-in-chief of the French
armed forces in the middle of war,
nor the honorary post which you
have designed for me-"
Gen, Giraud also took issue with
Gen. de Gaulle'S statement that
the post of commander in chief was
superf1uouS because a Frenchman
would not get large Allied COM

that another theater of operations
