First Test Comes Next Saturday
By Unitea Press . WASHINGTON, May 19 Selective Service officials disclosed today that only about 500,000 students—200,000 fewer than exempt in the past--will escape military service under the new scholastic deferment program. A spokesman for Draft Director Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey revealed the figures as thousands! of college men flocked to local! draft boards to apply for the new deferment test. The first examination will be held next Saturday. Three others will be held during June and July. The spokesman told the United
Press that ‘something in. the neighborhood of 500,000 men are expected to be deferred.” v “In the -past,” he added, ‘Se-
lective Service has been deferring about 700,000 draft eligibles so they could go to school.
One Million on Tap “So, about 200,000 fewer registrants will be deferred under the new program than have been in the past” he said. “Most persons —especially critics of the program —don’t realize that the new plan is designed to reduce the number of men receiving student deferments.” He said that continued low draft calls might throw Selective Service figuring out of kilter but that monthly draft quotas are a factor which cannot be determined far in advance. Officials figure there are about 1 million draft-liable men in college. Thus, they apparently plan to defer about half of these and call up the others.
Under the program, students who make a high score on the scholastic deferment test—usu-
ally 70—will be granted occupational deferments. College men who stand at or near the top of their classes also wil! be deferred.
State Welfare Law Doesn't Clash With
U. S.-Brownson
By DAN KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 19- Rep. Charles B. Brownson, Indianapolis Republican, who has a bill pending to abolish the secrecy provisions of the social security statutes, is on record today as
believing such action is not neces'sary
so far as Indiana is concerned. | The Marjon County congressman sent Federal Security Administrator Oscar R. Ewing a “friend-of-the-court” brief which states that the 1951 state welfare public{ity law does not conflict with the 'federal law's provisions. Following a hearing here, Mr. | Ewing is faced with ruling on the Indiana statute. If he rules that
| it does conflict the state will lose
| between $18 million and $20 | million in federal aid for the blind, aged and dependent children. Bases of Brief Mr. Brownson's brief is built around the contention that the new state law, requiring each
county auditor to put recipients of welfare funds and the amounts received in a special book open to the public, does not infringe on the safeguards in the federal statutes. These provide that access to welfare information cannot be given to anyone except for welfare administerative purposes. Briefly, the congressman con tends that names and amounts do not disclose case information and tHerefore cannot ‘be con-
