Hershey Holds Total Reectionsn Draft Should Not TOP 25

Selective Service Director Lewis

per cent should be the maxi

draft. ~,
Gen. Hershey made this known

The draft chief took issue with
what he called a false philosophy
in selecting military personnel and
said he has been trying to preach
for the last five years that some

rejection rate was 58.2 per cent,

19-25Group Can Meet
Armed Forces Need,
Draft Officials Say
By james Y. Newton

Manpower needs of the armed
forces in the foreseeable future
can be met within the present 19
through 25 age group provided
some of the eligibility restrictions
are removed, a Selective Service
spokesman said today.
Col. Daniel o. Omer, Selective
Service general counsel, said armed
forces strength can be built up to
the new 3 million goal without un-
due trouble. But in order to main
tain forces at that strength, he
said, new sources of manpower
must be found. He advocated the
following steps:
l. Relaxing and setting more
realistic standards" for induction
of those in the 10 through 25
group who now would be classified
at 4-F or unfit for service.
2. Recalling of married non
fathers whose induction would not
result in hardship at home.
3. Making veterans of World
War II in the present age group
available for service just as they
are now recalled in a reserve
status.
Talks to Farm Labor Leaders.
Col. Omer addressed special
group of farm labor leaders who
are holding a two-day meeting
here under Government sponsor
ship.
Secretary of Labor Tobin and
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
also spoke at the meeting which
is being presided over by Robert
c. Goodwin, director of the Labor
Departments Bureau of Employ
ment Security.
Col. Omer said that at the
moment about 1.2 million men are
needed to bring the armed forces
up to million. After reaching
the present goal it will be neces-
sary to induct about 100000 men
a month in order to maintain full
strength. That, he said, is where
pinch will be put on manpower
reserves.
No Calls Over 35 Likely.
Col. Omer told the farm labor
leaders:
l. They should not ask for oc-
cupational deferments for men
under 26 years.
2. They can expect about the
same physical and mental stand
ards for service that were worked
out toward the end of the last war.
8. They can plan to retain all
men in the 26-to-34-age group in
the foreseeable future.
4. They can plan to retain the
men over 35 indefinitely.
Secretary Tobin warned that the
manpower supply has become very
short in most sections of the
country with the total unemployed
now estimated under million.
Mr.. Brannan indicated there
might be an increase in food pro-
duction goals soon. He said the
Government probably would have
to outline program to take
what we can out of the land and
leave it in better shape if pos
sible."

our military is doing otherwise"
Explaining the system of occu.
pational deferment, Gen. Hershey
said regulations provide that the
subjects job be essential and that
he cannot be replaced.
Essentially doesn't amount to
much these days." he said, "but
irreplacability is important" And
the decision of that factor, he ex-
planned, is one to be made by each
local draft board.

Quizzed on Age Limits.
Asked about prospects of raising
age limits for draftees, the gen.
eral strongly urged that the group
from 10 through rs be exhausted"
before moving any higher. If this
Nation faces a "cold war" for a
generation or so. he added, I'VE
ought to avoid going above IS at
any time"
While the question Of college
student deferment is important in
the 1925 age group, Gen. Hershey
said, that problem is small COM
pared to those of dependency, oc-
cupational Importance and less
qualified physical conditions In
higher ages. In addition, he said,
a certain amount of stabilization
is maintained. IF industry is sure
they can have everyone above 26."

IA million la men in the 1925
