Hershey Sees Draft Speed-up

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. 20 (U. P.).—More men will have to be drafted as a result of the War Department’s plans to release Selectees and National Guardsmen after 14 to 18 months, Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, National Selective Service Director, said vesterday. Gen. Hershey, here to address the closing session of the Indiana American Legion convention, said the rate of calling men will be stepped up to the maximum permitted under the law, 90,000 monthly. The War Department has estimated that about 200.000 men will be released by Christmas. Gen. Hershey said this was 80,000 more than estimated. He commented on recent ar{icles exposing low morale among soldiers. “There's nothing wrong with the young folks if some of the parents would just leave them alone,” he said. “I never saw an army that Oe eae »
