An Army doctor designs an inoculating needle

Useless Records
No CENTRAL file contains the detailed records

with Selective Service in World War II your
records are among the A, 900 900 stored in the
basement of the state capitols. Bringing them

and might prove useless, for the veterans of

We need a new national registration, but
even this would provide only half the required

Authority Needed
TWENTY government agencies had access to

by Selective Service failed to measure up to
the Army and Navy's exacting physical
standards - identical for the infantryman
and the pay clerk in Finance Division Office.
''Some of the men saw guarding our war
plants or shutting papers in Washington
looked as husky and fit as Frederick the
Greats Prussian guards" Selective Service
Director Lewis B. Hershey says.
''What was needed was the simple au-
thority to direct manpower from less
essential activities to more essential ac-
tivities," Mr.. Patterson recalls. Every
other government engaged in the war pos
sessed that authority, but with us the proposal
was denounced as an attempt to introduce
slavery. as denial Of liberty, as an insult to
