Hershey Refuses Guess on Draft
Los Angeles August 10 Allied wartime draft policy director Lewis B Hershey testified before a House subcommittee stating he cannot predict fathers or essential workers outcomes. He warned there are many imponderables and that manpower will be scraped from the bottom before turning to fathers. He cited California as a lagging industrial region whose draft problems stem from tepid development since the war began. He said induction policies must be reviewed and shipyards must prove need to receive the same policy. Representative Costello pressed Hershey on varying rules by state.
