deferred.
Considerable opposition, officials
feel, also will develop to Gen
Hershey's belief that deferment
should be based on capacity to
learn" as determined by the apti-
tude test. He steadfastly has
opposed a system of deferring STU
dents in specific fields of study,
such as was used in World War
II to defer those in large num-
Der of specialist courses. The
present draft law singles out medi-
cal fields in which student levels
should be maintained.
The draft chief told Congress
his recommendation for the ma
tional test would cover high school
students who will graduate dur
ing the next two years as well
as students now in college. At
the same time. he warned that
thousands of students whose in
auctions have been postponed un-
til June, will be eligible for in
duction at that time under pres
ent law.

plans of the national student test.
To carry 1t out next spring, Gen.
Hershey told the committee, he
will have to ask Congress for about
50 million to test and rate approx
imately a million students.
In his testimony, the general
made clear that he does not know
how many students, if any, should
be deferred after results of the
test are tabulated. That. he de-
clared, will depend on the size

National Guard Group
Urges Definite Dates
For LIBERALIZATION
By WiIIiom J. WheotIey

The establishment Of definite
dates for federalizing National
Guard units has been recon-
mended by the Special Committee
on Policy of the National Guard
Association Of the United States.
The recommendation, adopted
several days ago, was not released
for publication until after an
nouncement of the order mobiliz-
ing the 31st Infantry Division of
Alabama and Mississippi and the
47th Of Minnesota and North Da-
kota. 1t had urged the call up
Of at least two Guard divisions.
The committee urged activation
Of all other Guard units "as rapidly
as the situation warrants, and
housing, clothing and equipment
is made available" Such a pro-
gram, in the opinion of members
of the committee, would elirni-
nate entirely the draft of 49,
year-olds."
Furthermore, the committee said
that it is time "for the Pentagon
to get away from the idea that
we are building only for the war
in Korea. It is time for us to
build for our world commitments. !"
Fear was expressed of destruction
of existing Guard units through
drafting of its non-veteran mem
bers which make up SO per cent of
its strength as presently con-
stituted.
The policy committee is headed
by Maj. Gen. E. A. Walsh, Mime
sofa National Guard, who also is
president Of the association, and
includes top ranking National
Guard officers from many parts of
the country who are actively deal
ing with Guard training and poll
cies.

World Alcoholic Clinics
Urqed by U. N. Group
By the Associated Press

GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. 16
"A United Nations sponsored
nation conference on al
coholism recommended today that
special clinics be set up in general
hospitals throughout the world
for the treatment of alcoholics.
1t also urged establishment of a
world clearing center for scientific
information on the causes and
cures Of alcoholism.
The recommendations were
made at the closing day of a six
day meeting of experts from the
United States, France. Britain,
Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Denmark
and Sweden.

was pointed out, would wipe out
much Of the doubt and confusion
now prevalent among members of
the Guard.
Although under present policy
the Selective Service does not pick
such guardsmen, it still has the
authority, and there appears to be
some feeling that there is thinking
in the Pentagon which will result
in breaking up Guard units even
before they are called.
