Hershey Gives Draft Instructions Intertitle. 02:35:55 High angle / HA MLS Reporters crowded around Hershey at desk, make notes. MCU. 02:36:10 MCU Hershey statement re: draft: “The Congress has taken note of the fact that enough men could not be procured by voluntary means to fill the Armed Forces & passed the Selective Service law. To carry that out a registration has been called starting on the 30th day of August. All men, between 18 & 25, will be required to register. I repeat, all men. This includes veterans as well as members of the National Guard and organized reserve of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps & the Coast Guard. In conclusion I want to again repeat that everyone must register; you may go to any local board anywhere, but be sure and remember to give your place of residence because that will be the place to which your card will be sent.” Government Regulations; Military Announcements; Draft Boards; Post-WW2; Post-WWII; NOTE: Sold at per reel rate or if requested will provide 02:34:11 - 02:41:45 at per reel rate.
