Pat Hurley Sent on Secret Mission I WASHINGTON, Jan. 19- (P) Patrick J. was nominated today to be a brigadier general while abroad on a secret mission a new chapter in a career which has included mule driving, fighting in Fiiance and serving as secretary of war.

President Roosevelt, calling a fourth Republican to important military service, sent Hurley's nomination to the senate without explanation of his assignment. Secretary of War Stimson, Secretary of the Navy Knox, and Col. William J. Donovan, who undertook a military mission abroad and now is coordinator of information, also are Republicans Informal White House word was that Hurley would not be a line officer and Hurley's office disclosed that he already was out of the country under sealed orders. The varied nature of his long experience would qualify him for any one of many tasks in the war effort.

Hershey urged Secretaries St'mson and Knox in a letter made public today to wind up all recruiting of volunteers for the army, navy and marine corps and rely entirely on the selective service for their additional manpower. "America faces the disruption and dislocation of Its supply of essential man power," General Hershey contended.

"Recent events convince me that we must reappraise our entire procedure for the procurement of men for the armed forces." The army suspended recruiting in December but resumed subsequently after congress had lowered the limit for the draft to 20 years rather than 18 as favored by the war department. Hershey, in his letter, dated January 12, said the appeal for volunteers had lured skilled men from vital production jobs, adding that achievement of the war production program required the services of every essential worker. "The entry of the United States into the war has brought our people to a high emotional pitch." General Hershey said. He contended that many volunteers actually were men already classified by the selective servlcf in class 1-A and accepted by army examining boards, so that they did not represent additional men for the armed forces and their action resulted in confusion. General Hershey asserted also that recruiting services were building up a belief that volunteers would be favored in the military service, over selectees and commented "such practices are not conducive to good morale."
