drafting of fathers over 25, and at| the same time to prevent indiscriminate drafting of younger men in key positions in industry. i Effective immediately, Hershey! said, no registrant 18 through 25 may- be considered as a necessary man for occupational deferment un- _ less state or national:selective service headquarters recommends it. Under this procedure, he said, war production will be safeguarded because state directors may recommend deferments for registrants through the age of 25 whose services are truly essential.

Aids Older Men

At the same time, he declared, the order—by making available for induction many men in this age group who are not essential to industry—will permit more defer- .. ments for men 26 or older in critical industries. The 22-25 age group includes an estimated 800,000 non-fathers, of
