Meanwhile, National selective

per cent of the regular call, it may
be increased to Is per cent or more

The call for. physically handi-
capped men, who probably will be

On the regular call will go the

Ing defects" now may be considered
acceptable for induction under the
lowered Army standards for job
jumpers, draft official warned,
pointing out that the Army already
has made use of men with one eye,
one leg or one arm.
The only men who probably don t
have to worry about the latest draft
threat are those suffering from tu-
berculosis or some other disease in
an advanced stage, a draft official
said. These men, however, he point
ed out, are in the minority.
Most Can Pass Physicals.
Men who previously have been re-
jected because of their eyes or teeth,
nat feet, sinus trouble or venereal
diseases-the most common causes
Of rejection-will pass the lowered
Army physical without any trouble,
this draft spokesman predicted.
On the basis OF what has been
happening since seIective service is

srs on December IL, however, draft
of1cials voiced the opinion that the
order itself would discourage job
jumping to such an extent that few
men would have to be inducted un-

One draft ofncial said he had
been informed that on the West
Coast after the December IL order
was issued 125 men walked into q

He said the President had seized

where management, and sometimes
where labor, refused to accept WLB
recommendations, citing seizure OF
the coal mines in 1943 which led to
passage Of the War Labor Disputes
Act in June, 1943.

Mr.. Cox said that act authorized

He said Wards was one of the
two largest merchandising organi-
cations in the world, with $500, ,000,-
600 business annually and 10000, 900
customers.
"A company OF that kind bears q
direct, substantial and almost cru
cial Importance in our economy" he
said.
Stating that most Wards plants
we're in the concentrated war pro-
duction areas and that last year
there were 81 Wards labor disputes
involving 14.000 workers, Mr.. Cox
said "the company has publicly stat
ed that its not bound by WLB deci-
sions," and that the real danger"
lay in the possible spread Of these
disputes throughout the Nation
which would "endanger the national
economy" ...
Firms Attitude AsSailed.
"The campaign Wards has car
ried on against the machinery for
settling wartime labor disputes
threatens to break down the whole
structure of that machinery" Mr..
Cox said.
Once labor becomes convinced
that any employer or group of en-
ployers can successfully defy the
war labor machinery, then labor
will come to the conclusion that
that machinery is one-way street
and that undoubtedly would lead to
revocation of the no-strike pledge -
Mr.. Cox asserted that Wards took
the attitude that 'it can ignore the
settlement machinery and carry on
labor disputes as though the coun-
try was not at war"
