Order Issued Will Restrict Draft Report WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (ZD National Selective Service offi cials have asked their state di rectors to submit some dralV. information to national head quarters before releasing it to the press or the public. This was disclosed tonight after Col. Candler Cobb, New York City Selective Service Director, had said the army had ordered a blackout on figures on inductions and draft examinations "in the interest of national safety." The Defense Department said it had issued no such order. Draft officials here said their request was based on a letter sent by President Truman recently. In it the Budget Bureau was asked to restrict the release of govern ment statistical information that might endanger national security. Mai. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, draft director, said tonight that as I a result of this a letter was sent to all state draft directors. They were told to submit to national draft headquarters any informa tion, prior to public release, that might be classed as "statistical" and that might endanger security. "The difficulty comes in defin ing 'statistical'," General Hershey said. Cobb said later in New York he had spoken with "a high au thority" in national headquarters before announcing the' curb on issuance of induction figures "and other information." He said he received "cohfirma tion" of his -action. Won't Fight CAMBRIDGE, England.

Menninger, former top Army psychiatrist and Secretary of the Menninger Foundation of Topeka, Kans., said an unfair system of manpower se lection is having a harmful effect on mental health. Menninger's chief complaint was against the "vicious policies" of selecting college students on the basis of their scholastic standing. He told a panel meeting of the Mid-Century White House Con ference on Children and Youth that the system of drafting men who stand scholastically in the lower half of their class places an unfair stigma on the men accepted and puts those who remain in "a false position."

Her Kenan roommate, Kikuku Ilori, a Japanese doctor from Chiba, Ja pan, said she was very homesick and had mentioned a desire to return to Germany several times.
