CREOMULSION relieves Coughs, Chest Colds, Acute Bronchitis should be subject to draft into the armed services, and who deferred to meet scientific and technical needs of the mobilization program. W. Stuart Symington, mobilization coordinator, arranged the luncheon meeting with Secretary of Defense Marshall and Secretary of Labor Tobin, to whom President Truman has assigned top manpower responsibilities.

Symington said yesterday he wanted to try for "an overall, agreed policy." At the same time, he disagreed with some of the tough draft ideas advanced by Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Service chief, and said: "I don't see anything to do but to sit down with a great leader like Secretary Marshall and try to solve the problem." Symington, chairman of the National Securities Resources Board, took this stand in an address to the United States Conference of Mayors, meeting in special session here. He did not mention Hershey by name but told the city executives he feels that "Our scientists should be given exemption" from military service.

He said further that cities should be protected against too heavy loss of police and firemen in view of the possibility of atomic attack and consequent public emergeney. "I have read recently that some people don't feel the same way I do about it," Symington said. Hershey's views on who should be subject to the draft were set forth Tuesday night in a speech. He declared that Americans have been sold lot of baloney" about the needs of blanket deferment for scientists and professional men. never had enough scientific people," Hershey said, "but there never are enough men over there fighting, either." er, He stuck by his guns last night, advancing the argument that with the rules as they are a fighting force goal of three million men simply cannot be reached and maintained within the present 19- 25 draft age group.

In a broadcast interview. the draft chief conceded that there must be deferments for some scientists and scientific students within that age range But he wanted to know how to tell, in deferring a medical student for instance, whether he will actually become a doctor or be any good if he does get a degree. The problem, Hershey said, is striking a balance between needs. Hershey also has called for induction of veterans under 26 years old, a generally tighter deferment policy, and a relaxation of standards under which a high percentage of men furnished by draft boards have been rejected by the Army.
