This disclosure was made by Ma. Gen. Lewis B.

Hershey, Selective Service director, In testimony rer leased today by a House Appropriations Subcommittee. He said the assumption that all able-bodied fathers would be taken for military service Is "too broad," but that no distinction has been established between fathers with one or more children. Big Post-War Army Seen "I think you will have to take fathers," he said. "I am not at all sure but what perhaps a great majority of them will have to go." Hershey's statement was accompanied by release of testimony before subcommittees, high lights of which were: 1. "Unofficial discussions" among Government officials considering maintenance of an armed force of About 2,500,000 men "for a considerable time" after the war.

2. Statistics revealing that nearly 23 percent of the army's rejections of men are because of mental and nervous disorders. They led Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey to wonder whether "maybe we are all unfit for modern war."

Rob-bins. "No formal application for these projects have been received by the State Division of Housing," said Mr.

Robbins, "and no agreements to make loans have been made. Although some preliminary work can be undertaken now in anticipation of future action by the Legislature, no contracts can be signed nor financial contributions be made by the State at this time."

Cohen Attributes Lampedusa Feat to 'Fit of Gremlins' Allied Headquarters, North Africa, June 14 (U.R) The Gremlins, helped out by a jumpy Italian in a Tyrolean hat with a plumed feather, won for Sgt. Sidney Cohen of London, a one-time tailor's cutter, the title of "King of Lampedusa." The official records probably will call it an accident that Cohen received the surrender of the little Italian island, but the 22-year-old six-foot Cohen knows better. His compass, he said, had a "fit of Gremlins" that forced his Sword-fish plane down on Lampedusa during a rescue mission from Malta.

Cohen said he brought his plane down on a bumpy field surrounded by burned hangars and Axis planes. People were waving white sheets as surrender flags and two Italian officers, followed by civilians, came over. "The leader wore a Tyrolean hat with a large plumed feather in it," said Cohen. "He was spouting voluble Italian." The Royal Air Force fliers were taken to the island commandant and as they entered his office everybody ran for an air-raid shelter. "There wasn't any sound of gunfire," Cohen said.

"They were just Jumpy, I guess." They went after the commandant, finding him in a room 75 feet un derground. He signed a paper, sking them to take it to Malta to signify his surrender. Cohen got his plane off but went to Tunis Instead, because his gas supply was running low."
