Hershey Cites Threat
OF Physical Unfifness
In Health Week Talk

Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey last
night declared his wartime experi-
ence as Selective Service director
taught him the gravity OF the Ma
tons health problem.
Gen. Hershey spoke at the Metro
politan Baptist Church, where
leaders OF the city's Negro popula-
ton gathered in observance of Ma
tionaI Negro Health Week.
Speaking on the eve of expiration
Of the Selective Service Act, the
general humorously recalled that
draft board doctors were popularly
believed to have accepted for mill
tary service "any one whose body
was still warm" Instead, he as
serted, 100000 Americans Of the
20 ,O00, 600 who were examined had
to be rejected for physical, mental
or emotional disability.
Three Fought for -Four.
Three men had to fight the war
that four should have fought" Gen.
Hershey said. There is no use
talking about equality Of response
bility unless you have individuals
who are healthy enough to carry
their share Of the load"
II only half the men under 70
who were rejected had been able to
serve In the armed forces, the gen.
eral pointed out, there would have
been no need to draft fathers.
The Selectiye Service chief was
outspoken in his praise of the
health program conducted among
the congregation of the Metropoli-
tan Baptist Church.
To an audience which included
100 Red Cross trained nurses aides
in white uniforms, Gen. Hershey
said:
II think you are far out in front,
so far as my knowledge goes, In
bringing to the attention Of the peo-
pie this question of health"

The 1000 members Of the church
congregation have their own health
league" set up in 1886 by DR.. E.

u. 5. May Discharge
Only 10000 Here
Under Budget Cuts
Officials Soy Loyoffs
Will Not Meet EurIier
Estimate for District
By Joseph Young

Despite sharp cuts in appro-
priations for Government de-
.partments and agencies in 1948,
not more than 10000 Federal
workers in Washington will have
lost their jobs when this Con-
gress goes home about August /,
Government officials predicted
today.
Federal officials frankly admit
that the reductions In force here
are not as great as they expected.
Federal employees here have Jared
better than those in other parts OF
the country. 1t is estimated that
more than 100000 employees
throughout the country will be
dropped as a result of the budget
cuts.
1t is possible, of course, that Con-
gress will be a little rougher on the
appropriation bills yet to be re-
ported this year-including the War
Department and the independent
Offices bills. But Federal officials
say that in any event they do not
think firings here will exceed 10000
If it will even be that high
New Hirings to Offset Some Cuts.
The 10000 estimate does not in
clude the dismissals resulting from
the folding Of war agencies. Fed
eral officials expect that the new
employees to be hired here to carry
out the Presidents executive loyalty
order and the proposed new labor
bill, which sets up a Federal media
ton agency, will partly offset the
war agencies reductions.
Washington now has about 220,-
900 Federal employees. Federal off,
Gals estimate that the minimum
number OF employees on August will
be 10000 and, they believe. the
number will be closer to 205 900.

Former Representative Andrew

today that he often became "sick
and tired" of being embarrassed
by the slowness of the Garssons
in sending money for the Cum
berland Co. This frequent delay
forced him to advance money of
his own to keep the Kentucky

war fraud conspiracy trial with
Henry and Murray Carson, the IL
year-old former chairman Of the
House Military Affairs Committee
admitted that he once used 81 900 OF
Carson money to make a campaign
contribution In Kentucky.
He explained this in the same
manner that he told last Friday OF
having paid personal expenses out
of money sent by the Garssons for
the lumber company and deposited
either in Mays personal bank ac-
count or the lumber account in
Kentucky. In every instance, May

Step Makes Maintenance
OF Production Difficult
BY the Assoeieied Press

DETROIT, May 26.-The Fore
mems Association of Americs
independently today ordered
withdrawal of supervisory en-
ployes from the power units o1
three Ford Motor Co. plants
where a strike has been in prog
ress for six days.
President Robert H. Keys OF tht
union said he had notified the com.
pany that an estimated IS foremer
will be called out of the power
plants at 10 am. tomorrow.
He added that maintenance o1
normal production would be in
creasingly difficult with the power
houses unnamed by foremen.
The company offered no imme-
diate comment.
The power house foremen had re-
manned at their jobs with union per-
mission since the strike began
May 81.
Ford Issues Appeal.
Meanwhile, Henry Ford II, presi-
dent of the company. appealed tc
the $500 striking foremen for "bet-
ter understanding in letter telling
what I think" about the situation
"in which we now find ourselves"
The statement, issued as an open
letter, declared Mr.. Ford felt the
strike was not justified by circum-
stances. However. he added:
I'VE agree there Is much to be
done in clarifying the status of oul
foremen-particularly in the direc-
ton of making them a more effec-
tive part of management"
There was no immediate reply
from officers OF the union, which
called the strike last Wednesday in
a dispute over contract differences.
Cites Waiting Public.
MIR. Ford said that with million
and half customers waiting for
cars. the company was obligated to
the public and its 127,000 employees
to maintain production schedules
despite the walkout, "even though
it will be difficult without your
help"
The company has reported sched-
ules have been maintained since the
strike started except on the Mer-
curry, production of which was
stopped because of parts shortage
due to strike at Murray Corp. of
America.
Murray workers were called back
to work today, however, and the
Mercury line was expected to re-
sumo operations early this week.
