IVA Warns GI Students
To Make Plans at Once
BY the Associated Press

The Veterans Administration
today urged war veterans plan
ming to study under the CT bill
next fall to start making arrange
ments Immediately.
Veterans who plan to continue
the same course at the same school
they previously attended should
make certain that the school has
room for them, VA said in a state
ment. They need not contact VA
at all, however.
Veterans who want to continue
the same course but at different
school must obtain a supplemental
certificate of eligibility from VA.
A similar certificate will be re-
quired of veterans who wish to
make their first change from one
general field of study to another,
as from law to engineering, and
veterans who completed or dis
continued GI bill training and
now want to make a first change
to a different general field.

District draft boards will order
TAI men for induction in January
and February, an increase of $50
over previous quotas for the
period, officials said today.
AS result of the Army's 10000
man draft call increase for those
two months, Selective Service Di-
rector Lewis B. Hershey ordered
the Districts January quota raised
from 1876 to 376 men, and it's Feb
ruary call from 226 to 365.
At the same time, officials pre-
dicted that declaration of a ma
tional emergency by President
Truman would have virtually nc
effect on draft manpoWer pools.
Considerable confusion, officials
said. has developed over the draft
laws exemption of more than 2.5

to route all manpoWer through a
central procurement agency,
probably the Selective Service
System. Such program, Army
officials said, would assure each
service of a fair share of top
caliber men.
At present the Navy, Air Force
and Marines plan to rely mainly
on voluntary enlistments for ex-
panSion.
Meanwhile, testimony released
today disclosed that Deputy De-
fense Secretary Robert A. Lovett
told Congress earlier this month
that the Army's expansion viii

who reach draft age. But present
rejection rates, deferments and
exemptions drop the number Of
available men from this source
to between 10000 and $4,000 men
a month.
Therefore, to meet a call of 80,-
900 men, officials would have to
take about 5000 men each month
from its pool Of la registrants.
It is estimated roughly that this
pool-under present policies
probably will furnish no more
than 100000 recruits.
In addition to the 2.5 million
veterans who can't be touched by

national emergency.
The law states, however, that
the exemption can be removed
only if Congress makes the decla-
ration. Further, the law says, such
a Congressional declaration would
have to be made after passage of
the 1943 draft act. so that no
states of war or emergency which
existed previously would have any
bearing.
A White House emergency dec
laration, however, would, for the
first time, give President Truman
power to limit or halt voluntary
enlistments in all the armed
forces. While such a move is not
expected, Army officials have told
Congress it would be a good idea
