professional models to whom
they size their styles. And with
the realization comes change

average American figure.
Too many complaints that

Drafted This Month
Over 80 Years Old

Nine per cent of the District men
drafted SO far this month have
been over 80 and District Selective
Service headquarters is hoping to
hold this average below 20 per cent,
at least for a month or two, It was
announced today.
~ At the same time, it was learned
that the March draft call for the
District will be double the February
call. which, in turn, was higher than
last months requirements.
A District draft spokesman ex-
planned the induction of men over
80 this month did not mean the
boards had exhausted their supply
of younger men, but that the boards
had been unable to get enough
younger men ready for induction to
meet all the calls. A number of
younger men now are being re-
classified.
While the percentage of older men
drafted has increased from week to
week, the District draft official said
he thought the boards would be able
to keep induction of older men un-
der 20 per cent of the total number
supplied from the District for the
next month or two.
To meet the increased March calls,
District draft officials are hoping to
get the major part of the pool from

Civil Service
Finds 3 Guilty
Under Hatch Aci
Two Pennsylvania
Officials, EmpIoye
Fuce Loss of Jobs
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

The Civil Service Commission to.
day found Pennsylvania's s secretary
OF health, the director of the State,
Bureau Of Vital Statistics and 9
third State employe guilty of violat.
Ing provisions of the Hatch Political
Activities Act and ordered them dis
missed from their jobs.
The officials are DIR. Alexander H
Stewart, secretary of health; Tom E
Williams, who heads the Vital Sta
tistics Bureau, and Mrs. Sarah "
Robertson, in the department OF
health.
The commission declared DR.
Stewart Shares responsibility" fol
coercing employees in the health de-
partment to make political contribu-
tions to the State Republican party
Mr.. Williams also was accused OF
coercion.
Discuss Limits Of Act.
According to the commission, DR..
Stewart summoned health depart
ment supervisors to a meeting at
Republican State headquarters in
Harrisburg, where provisions of the
Hatch Act were discussed. The
Commission said the men were told
by the Republican State chairman
that the act did not forbid voluntary
contributions to political parties and
that "a campaign was on and the
party needed money"
The commission charged that Mr..
Williams, after attending the meet
ing, told his bureau supervisors to
send subordinates to his ONCE and
make their contributions to him. If
contributions were not forthcoming
the employees were to state their
reasons for not doing so, the COM
mission quoted Mr.. Williams as
saying.
Mrs. Robertson was charged with
taking an active part in political
management by serving as vice
chairman of the Republican County
Committee OF Armstrong County.
Dissent Filed on Stewart.
The two officials and Mrs. Robert
son were tried under section IL (a)
of the Hatch Act, applicable to Of
flcers and employees of State or local
agencies whose principal employ
ment is in activities financed in
whole or in part With Federal funds.
A dissenting opinion on the COM
missions findings was entered by
Harry B. Mitchell, president of the
commission, in regard to DR.. Stew
art. Mr.. Mitchell said that, "al-
though it was technical violation
for DR.. Stewart to call upon his sub
ordinates to attend a meeting to be
addressed by the Republican State
chairman, it was his only act that
could be questioned, and that it does
not justify removal"
State officials have 80 days in which
to dismiss the trio, OF, the Federal
Government may withhold grants
to the Health Department equal
to twice the sum of their salaries
Civil Service Commission oficials
said.
Five other Health Department en-
ployes were found to have violated
the act but not in a manner to
warrant removal from their posi-
tions." Five others were absolved
of charges.
