Draft May Be
Deferred For
Older Groups
WASHINGTON, May 13— Sol
ctivo Service headquarters ask
ed Congress to amend the Con
scription Act to permit the de
ferment of the older draft regis-j
trants.
Brigader General Louis Her
shey, Deputy Director of Select
ive Service, informed Specker
Sam Reynolds that “exp rience
discloses a comparatively small
percentage of men being induct
ed from the higher age groups
and many of our problems arise
in, connection therewith. I am
informed that m n in the young
er age brackets are best quali
fied for training and service con
templated under the act.”
The amendment to the law as
proposed by Hersh y would, he
said, permit the President to pre
scribe rules and regulations for
the deferment of men whose ag-r
is such that they should be d -
ferred in* the interest of the na
tion.
We are greatly relieved by
Russia’s announcement that she
is still mad at the United States.
For a while we were shuddering
at th_ thought that the Reds
might come out from u d r our
bed and climb in with us.
