Ruling Is Sought
On Release Of
Draft Figures
Induction List Now
Held Up on Bosis
Of Hershey Order
BY George Beveridqe

b1SbI lCJ dl dlb OlllCld1S dppSdlGQ
to Selective Service headquarters
today for a formal ruling on
whether they can continue to re-
lease lists of District men inducted
each week.
The move came as threats of a
virtual blackout of draft informa-
ton developed in some areas as
the result of Selective Service
directive to field Offices about re-
strictions on draft statistics.
Draft officials told State and
District directors November 80
that they should submit statistical
data for headquarters approval
before releasing it for publica-
ton. This instruction explained
it was in line with Budget
Bureau order requiring bureau
clearance of any statistics which
might involve questions of ma
tional security.
Bureau Denies Blame.
However, Budget Bureau
spokesman complained today the
draft difficulties have arisen be-
cause Selective Service Director
Lewis B. Hershey sent out his
directive without getting a bureau
opinion on it.
He has perfect right If he
wants to classify statistical data" ;"
the spokesman declared. But to
blame it on this (bureaW bulletin
without requesting an opinion
from the bureau doesn't make
sense"
The spokesman added that sew
eral agencies have submitted cues
tionable data and that "as Of this
time the bureau has not imposed a
single restriction
Wording Not Made Public.
Frank D. Norton, District deputy
draft chief, said he wanted to find
out today If he can release lists
of men scheduled for induction
next week at Arlington Farms.
He said he also was uncertain
about whether he could release
lists of draft delinquents.
In Maryland, draft officials
stood by their order that local
boards should not give newspapers
data, including the induction lists.
II have no choice" said Col.
Henry c. Stanwood, State draft
chief. st have. a directive from
Selective Service headquarters in
Washington. The only possible
way to interpret it is that It pro-
hibits the. publication OF these
lists"
A draft spokesman here said
wording of the directive could not
be made public.
Stands on Ground.
But he insisted that it instruct
ed directors merely that they
should consult headquarters when
they are in doubt about data
which might endanger national
security. He said there is no
restriction on the release Of draft
quotas. or on lists of prospective
inductees.
When told of these statements,
Col. Stanwood told the Associated
Press it would be impossible for
any person of reasonable intelli-
gence to put such an interpreta-
tion on the directive from Wash
ington.
What statistical information
have we got other than the quotas,
the number inducted and the lists
Of those inducted?" he asked.
He maintained the directive
puts a prohibition against sta
tistical information and that he
would stand his ground until he
gets a new order revoking or
clarifying the directive from Gen.
Hershey.
