Government Lowers
Standards in Hirinq
OF Defense Workers
BY Joseph YOUNG

The Government has decided to
lower It's standards for Federal
jobs in hiring for the defense pro-
gram, it was disclosed today.
The Civil Service Commission
revealed that the various defense
agency offices here and throughout
the country have been notified
that they may lower requirements
whenever there are shortages of
available applicants for jobs.
This and other revisions of
present hiring regulations was
announced by the commission as
the Government streamlined its
hiring regulations in an effort to
get the necessary people for the
defense program as quickly as
possible.
It is considered likely that the
new economic control agencies as
well as other Federal Offices con-
nected with the defense program
will get similar authority in hiring.
Besides allowing the lowering of
standards in hiring employees, the
commission also will allow the de-
fense agencies to hire directly and
place on the job Immediately per-

jobs in shortage occupations. This

Student Deferments
Demanded at ParIey
Called by Hershey
Scientific, Educational
And industrial Leaders
Hear Draft Proposals

By George Beveridoe

More than 200 of the Nation S
top scientific. educational and in
dustrial leaders today heard a
strong demand for draft defer
ment of college students who show
most promise of future value to
the country as specialists in all
fields.
The demand was made in the
form of deferment plan SUBJ
mitted to Selective Service Direc-
tor Lewis B. Hershey by six ad-
visory committees representing all
phases of education.
Attending the conference in the
old State Department building at
the call of Gen. Hershey, were
prominent scientists and educators
who oppose any form of student
deferment.
Conant Fav0rs Draft.
A foremost spokesman for this
group, DR.. James B. Conant, pres
ident of Harvard University, has
called for a draft of all 18 wear
olds to meet military expansion
needs.
DR.. Charles Odegaard. executive
director of the American Council
OF Learned Societies, called such
proposals "a great danger to ma
tional security"
Opponents of the deferment
plan apparently decided to re-
spond to the committees report
later. In the discussion there was
no direct opposition to the plan
and most questions related to de-
tails OF its operation.
