Plan Drastic Steps
To Meet Army Quota

More than half the draft registrants
now being called up are flunking the
physical tests, sclectivc service said
today, and hence it has become neces-
sary to take drastic steps to meet
army quotas.
This is the situation, Congress was
advised:
The armed forces need 100000
men to reach the desired goal Of H.
100000 by July l. They must come
from the father group, those deferred
because of their jobs, the AIS who
can do limited service and the young
sters reaching Is.
When all the normal possibilities
are exhausted, the total still will be
100000 short. So
The dcfermcnts granted men over
% in industry may be cancelled soon
The minimum age may be raised to
26.
Farm labor must be screened again
and those who cannot show they are
producing "substantially' to the total
amount of food for the nation are to
lose their dcferment.
The problem was outlined to the
Senate agriculture committee by Maj.
General Lewis B. Hershey, draft di-
rector, and to a House military sub
committee by his aide, Lieut.. Col.
Francis V. kcesling.
Hershey said the AZ situation had
complicated the problem greatly of
late There are 3.50O,000 men now
classified thus, which means they have
defects mitigating against military
service.
I'm sorry to say that number is
rising too rapidly" Hershey asserted.
Selcctvc Service officials have
ordered all local draft boards to re
view and tighten up the agricultural
dcfcrmcntS now held by 100000 men
of military age.
Up to now, farm workers have been
deferred when they produced eight or
more war units of food as defined by
the Department of Agriculture. This
production goal will be doubled by the
new order.
The presidential order for a review
of occupational draft defcrments prob
ably will mean d speedup in Mary
land inductions but "a balance must
