Hershey had a statement in the March, 1953 Selective Se-lective Service publication to make it clear that those deferred must expect to serve; their turn is near. His article is in, reply to two questions Selective Service must always be prepared to answer. Why was Registrant A inducted? Why is Registrant B deferred? There are two fundamental reasons rea-sons why registrants are deferred, the director states. First, because all who are liable cannot be inducted in-ducted in the same month of the same year. Practically all of the registrants inducted during the past two and one half years have been liable during the entire period. per-iod. We are steadily approaching the period, he says, when registrants regis-trants will be reached for induction induc-tion almost immediately after they become liable, at the age of 18 V-years. V-years. The second reason for deferment defer-ment is the fact that the registrant regis-trant is doing something in the national health, safety, or interest which places his induction at a later date than the time he is normally due for entrance into the service. His statement is too long to give here in full. But the main point he stresses is that any and all registrants who are .deferred will in time be inducted. They are not exempted, and must expect to serve, he states. The time of service of those deferred may be undetermined, but the fact of their service is certain.
