New Draft Rules List
Calls Of Men 26 10 y
Based on Type Of Job
Employers Warned
Physically Qualified
In Age Group Must Go

Draft board instructions out
lining the order in which men in
the 26-29 age groups should be
called to service, and making it
clear that the armed forces do
not want men over 80, were is
sued today by Selective Service
Director Lewis B. Hershey.
The new orders, accompanied by
the revised list of essential and
critical activities outlined by the
War Manpower Commission Tues
day. asserted that employers must
be prepared to lose their physically
qualified men in the 26-29 age group
when and if the requirements of the
armed forces are such as to make
their induction necessary"
The production agencies, Gen
Hershey said, have been told they
may advise employers to list their
employees in this age group in the
order of their importance to the
plant and present the evidence to
draft boards tackling the job of
selecting who should stay home and
who should go to war.
Stresses Age Limit.
In an effort to prevent draft
boards from flooding induction sta
tions with older men, Gen. Hershey
repeated three times in his directive
that the need of the armed forces
is for men under 80. Some draft
boards had already started reclassi-
flying older men in lesser war-sup-
porting jobs.
Since the Army needs younger
men," he said, land since the supply
of these in the age group 1925 is
practically exhausted, a substantial
part of our calls from this time on
will have to be filled with men in
the age group 26-29.'
Pointing out that there are only
$4,000 men in this age group now
deferred in IA and 2-B, Gen. Her
shey said those selected for the
service must be taken in the order of
t1iCi CSSClltid1lty.
Critical List Is Last.
He passed on to draft boards the
order of call suggested by War
Mobilization Director Byrnes as fol-
lows:
First, registrants not employed in
any activity on the essential list
Second, the more readily replaceable
men in essential but not critical in
dustries. Third, the replaceables in
critical programs. Fourth, clean
sweep of the essential industries and
fifth, men on the critical list.
While the VINO list should be
used as guide, Gen. Hershey said

LONDON, Jan. 19.-An attempt
to express censure of Prime Min
lister Churchill'S interventionist
policy in liberated lands was
beaten in the House of Commons
today. The vote was $40 to 7.
Technically, the vote was on
war appropria tions bill. Some crit
ical LaboriteS announced before
hand that although they opposed
British policy in Greece and Italy,
they would not vote against the bill
on the grounds they might be ac-
cused of impeding the war effort.
Mr.. Churchill himself was in the
House during the vote and was
cheered wildly as he left with For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden.
Shortly before the vote, Mr.. Eden
told Commons Britain would place

secretary OF SCate StettlnluS
will accompany President Roose-
velt to his forthcoming meeting
with Prime Minister Churchill
and Premier Stain, and later
will go on to the Pan-American
conference in Mexico City, he
disclosed at a press conference
today.
The Secretary's announcement,
ending long period of speculation
was made after the President at his
morning press conference told re-
porters he thought they should ask
Mr.. Stettinus whether he would at
tend the big Three" meeting. For
more than two weeks the White
House and State Department have
evaded the question.
Mr.. Churchill announced yester-
day that he would be accompanied
by British Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden. The Russian government has
not yet revealed whether Foreign
Commissar Molotoff will accompany
Premier Stain.
Silent on French Participation.
Asked today whether the planned
meeting could be considered a Big
Three" or big Four" session, Mr.
Stettinius said the matter had not
been decided. The questioner was
referring to reports from Paris that
1.-THE French government was insist
ing that Gen. Charles de Gaulle
provisional president of France, be
included among the conferees.
President Roosevelt had told his
news conference that there wasn't
any news on French participation
on the conference.
Mr. Stettinius also revealed that
the President would be accompanied
by group of experts, some of them
from the State Department, but he
would not name them.
According to announcements in
Mexico City, the Pan-American
meeting there will begin on Febru-
Iary Is, although some of the repub-
lies have suggested that it be de-
ferred until February %. Mr.. Stet-
tinius evaded questions as to wheth-
er he would be in Mexico City for
the opening of that meeting, ex-
planning that the revelation OF
schedules might endanger the Sc
curity of those involved in the two
conferences.
Political Aspects Seen.
The fact that both Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Churchill will be accom-
panied by their pricipal advisers or
foreign affairs indicates to observers
that the forthcoming conference will
be devoted largely to political ane
diplomatic questions, whereas the
previous meeting of the big Three
at Teheran was mainly military
conference. There the opening OF
the second front in Western Europe
was agreed upon.
When Mr.. Roosevelt met Mr.
Churchill last September in Quebec
Mr.. Eden was present, although tn,
then Secretary of State Cordel Hull
did not accompany Mr.. Roosevelt.
Among the pressing diplomat,
problems likely to arise at the sched.
luled big Three" meeting are terri.
