Dixon Washington oct. 5 ins As yet to ranking officers Aren t saying much about it for publication but the army is seriously worried Over it considers dangerous limitations in the new peace time draft. Perhaps the nearest to an open expression of their Opi Nion came last week from a somewhat surprising source director Lewis b. Hershey of the selective service system itself. Without mincing words general Hershey said that he was afraid the provisions of the peacetime draft would re sult in calling into service Only the cast favored classes in the country. He added it s almost impossible to find anyone who s a non Veteran a non father under Twenty five years of age and capable of passing physical examinations for entry into the armed  supporters of the new Law say the situation is not As bad As Hershey paints it. But key personnel set up insist that it s even worse. And because of its comparatively More difficult recruiting problems the army finds itself in the worst shape of the three service branches. The army is worried. In addition to the deferment fac tors mentioned by director Hershey the generals Point out that there is a seemingly endless list of occupational de ferments which Drain off the available manpower Pool in almost spectacular gushes. Needless to say the Type of Man who would be considered indispensable in a vital civilian occupation is quite often exactly the Type of Man the army feels it needs.  idea Dregs the of taking the generals own word of leadership intelligence experience  Educa Tion is not at All appealing to the army. And from his statement it would not seem to be making Hershey Happy. However the greatest com plaint Concei is the recent presidential directive which listed 147 Dis Sassy ailments de officers in the National defense Formi ties and the like which May disqualify a registrant for service. Still hesitant to speak out publicly the generals contend n private discussions that Many of the disqualifying Points Are utterly ridiculous insofar As forming a modern army is concerned. For instance there Are such hangovers from the past War As Flat feet which Are reiterated As cause for deferment. With the record of countless Flat footed Amateur and professional athletes who through no fault of their own lived More strenuous physical lives As civilians than most soldiers during the past War such a deferment Point seems ludicrous to a Good Many soldiers As Well As the generals. Besides the army figures it could spot such draftees in positions where their ailments would t be the slightest Handicap while their other abilities would be of estimable value. That also goes of course for the deferment Point about hav ing a wart on a weight Bear ing area where a Field pack shoulder strap might touch nations is chinese British and dutch Are known to be still investigating cases of a Nur Ber of japanese suspected As perpetrators of War crimes against both civilians and armed forces during the nip ponese occupation of their territory. Sources Here attributed the order by american authorities to wind up the trials by the end of the year to a state department desire to dispose of such issues before any Dis Cussion of a peace treaty with Japan. Because All communications concerning War crimes trials Between the department of the army and occupation officials in Japan have been Given a High secrecy classification by Washington authorities conducting th2 hearings Are reluctant to. Discuss the matter and All refuse use of their names.

With due regard for those actually handicapped in that manner the former ail ment is a simple thing to fake particularly since months May elapse Between registration and induction. And As for the latter a single extended spree climaxed perhaps with an arrest or two for drunkenness would seem to be adequate for avoid ing the draft. The army does t like it. San Francisco oct.

Three More courts probably will be in operation soon to help take care of this last group. Disposition of the group of 20 major War crimes suspects. Most of whom have been in jail nearly three years with n the time limit is the knot Tiest problem facing occupation Legal authorities. Many were Cabinet members during the War or known leaders of military circles which dominated Japan. Most of them undoubtedly would have been tried along with Tojo except for the fact that Only 28 defendants could be seated in tha largest available building. Sources doubt that any mors trials will be held on an International basis such As in the Tojo Case.
