Hershey Will Testify
Al House Hearing on
Civilian Draft Control
By Robert K. Welsh

Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. dlrec-
tor of the Office of Selective Service
Boards, will be summoned before
the House Rules Committee to tell
whether a proposed peacetime draft
can be kept under civilian control,
members said today.
The issue of civilian or military
handling of the draft was one of
several questions expected to delay
committee clearance of the bill for
House debate
1T could happen very easily that
this bill would be sent back to the
Armed Services Committee for re-
vision" Chairman Allen of the Rules
group said.
Andrews to Be Questioned.
Chairman Andrews of the Armed
Services Committee was to return
this afternoon for a third day of
increasingly hostile questioning on
provisions of his draft bill
The measure would authorize
manpower ceilings totaling 2,006,-
900, as compared with an actual
strength of about 1,385,000 in the
armed forces now. 1t would require
registration of men 18 through 30
with possible induction of those
19 through 25 for two years service.
Full operation of the bill, with
these totals and on the basis of
70-group Air Force, would cost about
,500000,000 annually, Mr.. An
drews told the committee yesterday
afternoon. President Trumans
budget estimates and supplemental
requests for the coming fiscal year
add up to about $14,500,000,000 for
the military establishment.
Vote Effort Fails.
An unsuccessful attempt was
made by Representative Cox, Dem
ocrat, of Georgia to get commit
tee vote on the bill. He declared
committee members know how
they'll vote" and he predicted there
would be sufficient votes to send
the measure to the House floor
without further delay.
Mr.. Allen and others. including
Representative SABBATH of Illinois,
ranking Democratic member, said
they still had many questions to ask
and wanted to hear witnesses on
both sides of the draft proposal.
Mr.. Allen reported that at least
so persons notified him they want
to testify. He indicated that only
a few will be called but that the
hearings will continue for most of
next week unless the bill is sent
back to committee.
Representative Harness, Repub-
lican of Indiana, said he doubted
that the measure clearly assured
civilian control of the selective serv-
ice system. He asserted that dur
ing the recent war "the military
stepped in and ran the whole draft
system in the States"
Fears Army Control.
Despite testimony of Mr.. Andrews
that the draft administration
would be a civilian set up" Repre-
sentative Rich, Republican, of Penn
sylvania, declared:
IF you don't watch out the Army
will be in charge. They are swarm
Ing all over the Capitol now"
Mr.. Rich also urged that the bill
be changed to provide for deferment
of farmers. Mr.. Andrews explained
that the Armed Services Committee
felt it wiser to provide a general
deferment section for essential
workers of all kinds, as determined
by the President, instead of trying
to list groups that ought to be de-
ferred.

Mr.. Andrews was right in saying
that the third angle Of triangle
would have 80 degrees If the others
were 40 and 60 degrees.
When Mr.. Brown aimed the words
"recondite," "torsion" and am
bient" at him, Mr.. Andrews said he
didn't know what they meant. Mr..
Brown then read an Army question
asking "how many degrees in a

the Armed Services Committee, tried

Chairman Andrews of the House
Armed Service Committee, who won
the Distinguished Service Cross in
World War I, was recovering today
from effects of losing battle with
an Army classification test.
He fell into an ambush and had
to retreat in some confusion yes
terday under a barrage of ques-
tions for testing "adabtability" of a
recruit.
Representative Brown, Republic
an, of Ohio, a member of the Rules
Committee, fired the questions dur
ing a hearing on the Andrews bill
for reviving the draft. His strategy
was to show that Army test re-
quirements are so high they dis

Some Rails Attract
Buyers in Generally
Steady Stock Market

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Some rail
stocks attracted support in q gen.
orally steady market today.
It was not one-way market
Minor declines were enough to put
some issues at new lows for the
year, but on the whole gains had a
slight edge over losses.
The show of stability followed
Wednesdays break, which carried
the price level down to an eight
month bottom.
A fair amount of activity devel-
oped, with turnover tending to ex-
pand when prices advanced.
Trading was largely professional,
although there were a few faint
signs of a revival in interest among
the general investing public.
Issues higher included Youngs-
town Sheet & Tube. Santa Fe, Sea-
board Air Line, Illinois Central,
Union Pacific, General Motors,
Boeing, Consolidated Natural Gas,
American Smelling, Johns -Manville,
United States Gypsum, Gulf Oil

On the losing side were Pepsi
Cola, Air Reduction, Studebaker,
Sears, Roebuck; Caterpillar Trac-
tor, Commonwealth Edison, Phelps
Dodge, American Can, Du Pont
Allied Chemical, Eastman Kodak
and Eastern Air Lines.
In the curb, higher prices were
paid for Consolidated Mining. Fair

bit were Kaiser Frazer, Rath Pack
ing, Niagara Hudson Power, Lone

In the bond market, Third Ave-

the start, but later dropped abrupt
ly. The company was just granted
a temporary fare increase.
A decline below for Pepsi-Cola
put the stock at low for the year
During 1948 the issue sold as high
as 241s. Selling developed this
week after directors voted to skip
