At the same time, state directors
were told to recall and reclassify
men in the 26 through 20 age group
who previously were found unfit
for military service.
No attempt was made to fix
state September quotas at this
time.
A Selective Service spokesman
said the plan to recall veter-
ans with less than a minimum
of duty in this country probably
would affect only a small number
of men, since most men who were
discharged before serving at least
six months here were discharged
for physical reasons and probably
could not pass a re-induction
examination.
Determining Factor
Hershey said that in determining
the length of time veterans serv-
ed in this country. time spent in
universities, colleges or other
schools operating under the Army's
educational training program will
be counted.
Meanwhile, the Army suspended
enlistment of Negroes except in 48
scarce specialist categories. The
War department said overwhelm-
ing response of Negroes to the
regular recruiting program had
resulted in an overbalance in the
ratio of Negroes to total Army
strength. Past policy has been to
enlist Negroes in the same pro-
portion as the ratio of Negro popu-
latioa to the total civilian popula-

in the face of a strong Republican

President Truman had limited

down the conference proposal, and
instead vote to bring the measure
to the Senate floor for considera-

He argued that the Senate mea-

meat, poultry, butter, cheese,
grains, tobacco and many other
items off the control list, is en-
tirely new legislation. Hence, he
said, the House should have a
chance to examine it.
