; One Out of 20 Farm, War Workers Also Is Faced With Induction.

WASHINGTON, March 16 (U. P.).—The nation’s 6400 draft boards were faced today with the need of stepping up the draft of fathers and of reclassifying one out of every 20 men now deferred for farm and war work to meet military manpower requirements by July 1. The complexities of the manpower problems were outlined before a senate committee yesterday by Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey and additional details were expected to be made public today when Col. Francis V. Keesling, Hershey's legislative aid, testifies before a house military affairs subcommittee. Hershey said in an order to the local boards last night that the draft of fathers, already underway, must be stepped up to meet quotas which have fallen 100,000 men short of goals each month since October.

Deficit of 240,000

By July 1, Hershey said, the armed services will need 1,160,000 more men; but in sight, there are only 920,000, leaving a deficit of 240,000 that must come out of the 1,700,000 now deferred in agriculture jand the 3,204,000 in war activities. | This means a reclassification of {about one out of every 20 occupa-

tionally. deferred men: - Belective service, Hershey said, is proceeding on the basis that “less than one man out of every three” can meet physical requirements because the armed forces now are in need of men able to do combat duty. “We must, in the future, make fathers available in increasingly greater numbers to meet. induction requirements,” he said. “At the same time we must secure men from other classes and particularly we must secure men, fathers and nonfathers, from the groups now deferred in industry and agriculture.”

1,498,000 Now In 1-A

He said there now are 1498000 registrants classified as 1-A for immediate induction but that only 420,000 from this group can be expected to meet physical requirements, An additional 250,000 inductees should be provided from among youths reaching 18, he said, while another 250,000 can be expected from reclassification of 2,593,000 fathers out of the old Sepeaderny 3-A classification, The 3,485,000 men in 4-F, he said, | constantly are being “worked over,” but only a relatively small number can be expected to enter the services and “prospects for the imme-
