Hershey Cites Plan
To. Defer Students
WASHINGTON, March 'l6—VP)—Selective Service Director
Lewis B. Hershey disclosed today he has proposed a plan for qualifi
cation tests to give draft deferment to high-ranking high school and
college students.
In correspondence with the House Armed Services committee,
Hershey said he had submitted the proposal to Mobilization Director
Charles E. Wilson as a recom
mendation. Whether it will be
put into effect \ is up to Wilson
and Dr. Arthyr Fleming, man
power director under Wilson
Officials said the number of
educational deferments may in
crease, if the new plan is put
into effect.
Binding or Permissive?
Still to be decided is whether
the proposed policies would be
binding on draft boards or :merely
permissive. Her,sheys outline in
dicated he wants them binding.
Hershey's plan calls for nation
wide tests of high school and
college students as a guide to de
termining whether they should
continue schooling or be drafted.
High school graduates of draft
age passing the test with a mark
of 70 or more would be deferred
to enter college.
Another Year
First, second and third year
men passing the tests with the
70 mark or better also would be
deferred to go ahead with an
other year of college.
In addition, all college freshmen
in the upper half of their class
would be deferred. All second
year college students in the upper
two-thirds of their class could
take a third year course. All third
:mar college men in the upper
three-fourths of their class could
go ahead with a fourth year.
Also graduate students and pro
fessional students of, medir"ne,
dentistry, veterinary medicine.
osteopathy and optometry would
be deferred without taking any
tests, provided their schools cer
tified they are meeting scholastic
requirements leading to degree.
