Intense Selling Drive
Sends Stocks Down
BY the Associated Press

| NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Stock
prices broke sharply this morning
under an intense selling drive that
appeared out of nowhere.
Leading issues cracked 81 to
more than So a share before the
deluge of selling orders dwindled
away to trickle.
Numerous stocks bounced up
from their extreme lows, but there
was no full-fledged rally.
For nearly an hour the price
reporting machinery of the stock
exchange dropped behind in re-
porting transactions from the
trading floor. The lag amounted
to eight minutes at the worst. For
while the exchange resorted to
the unusual procedure of flashing
prices of key stocks directly from
the floor.
Steels and autos, recently odds
on favorites, were singled out by
selling forces. Losses, though, were
widespread in other sections of
the market.
Wall Street quarters were un-
able to put their finger on any
one factor to explain the abrupt
drop in prices. Many regarded
the slump as caused by a case
of nerves among traders who
feared new controls from Wash
ington and unfavorable interna-
tional developments.

Hershey 10 Receive
plan Of Educators on
Draft Deferments
By George Beveridqe

Significant changes in the pro-
posal to defer college students on
the basis of scores in national
aptitude test were to be recon-
mended to Selective Service Di-
rector Lewis B. Hershey today by
group of educators.
The recommendation were
agreed upon yesterday by the
Committee on Relationships of
Higher Education to the Federal
Government, of the American
Council on Education, which rep
resents 834 colleges and univer-
stiles and 1876 national organiza-
tionS.
In general. the committee in
dorsed the recent proposal of Of
fetal Selective Service advisory
groups that deferment for all stu
dents be based on capacity" to
learn, rather than on enrolment
in specific scientific or other So
called essential" courses of in
struction. Both groups favor the
idea Of a national aptitude test.
Gen. Hershey has said he would
support this idea. and specific
plans for such a program are
being drawn up at draft head
quarters.
Committees Plan.
This is the plan proposed by
the American Council committee:
l. All 18-year -olds would reg
lister for the draft and be given
pre-induction physical examina-
tions.
2. Prospective college students
who passed then would take the
aptitude test and would have to
attain a score equivalent to 110
on the Army General Classiflca-
ton Test to be eligible for defer
ment. (The draft advisory groups
proposed a score equivalent to 100
on the AGCT)
3. Specific quotas for deferred
students would be set in each
State, and eligible students then
could apply for enrolment.
Progress Required.
4. Continued enrolment in
school would depend on "satisfac-
tory progress in accordance with
standards of the institution.
(The draft advisory groups rec
ommend that to stay in school,
sophomores should have been in
the upper half of their freshman
class. juniors who were in the
upper half of their sophomore
class and seniors who were in the
upper quarter of their junior
class.D
5. After completion of his COL
lege training, the student shall
be liable for his full period of
military service unless assigned
by the President of the United
States to some other service in
the national interest"
The committee also declared it
seems desirable that women be
enlisted or commissioned on a
volunteer basis in all noncombat-
ant services appropriate to their
training and to the needs of the
armed forces"

ball bat, which he had purchased
from a nearby sports goods store
Mr.. Pruitt then told of seeing

into evidence, Brown was quoted
as saying:
Then I took the damn bat
and tried to wear it off on him
After I finished hitting him ]
walked away and threw the bat
down in the park. 1 thought !
had done a damn good job. ]
didn't give a damn whether he
was dead or not"

ther activation and modification

Regarding the Hoover proposals,
the Senate group declared that
the recommendations inevitably
involved, from the start, a maxi
mum of controversial issues"
This is because of the phenom-
enal growth of Federal employ
ment during the last Is to 20
years. owing to the war and eco
nomic growth and the hodge
podge" of various personnel meth
DDS developed by individual agen-
cies, the committee declared.
Such a condition necessitated a
piecemeal approach to the prob
lem, the Senate group declared.
ANY other approach would
have created havoc in the day-to-
day operations of Government" "
the committee said.
The committee also noted that
Congress has taken action dur
ing the last two years to carry
out some of the Hoover proposals
among them higher pay for Fed
eral executives, modernization OF
the Government salary structure
and overhauling of the efficiency
rating system.
Administratively, the Govern
ment has delegated job classifica-
ton duties to the agencies, giver
substantial responsibility for re.
cruiting and examination to vari-
Gus agency boards of special ex-
aminers, begun work on a mod
ernized promotion program anc
given agencies a freer hand ir

This is the new system author
lied by Congress, although a pos.
sible loophole was left open fol-
the Civil Service Commission tc
give agencies some leeway in using
additional ratings if the situation
warranted 1t.
However, the defense agencies
feel that the new three word rat
ing system is good one, without
any need of other adjective marks
Most other Federal departments
