Hershey made it clear, that;
1— Army standards ‘inevitably’
would be lowered a-: the need for
manp'ower developed, and pre
dicted that those with minor de
fects would lie ‘aken in for lim
ited service “by the hundred
thousands.”
2— The War Department was
working out allowance and allot
ment legislation, which, “if en
acted in proper form, will re
lease for induction many regi.s-
‘rants, now deferred on the
grounds of dependency.’’ He said,
however, that dependency .still
would remain "an outstanding
condition of deferment,”

He served notice that .social
