At a special meeting yesterday afternoon in Washington, Major General Hershey's educational advisory committee decided to recommend that students be deferred on the basis of grades and aptitude tests.

M.H. Trytten, chairman of the group of six committees, told the CRIMSON last night that he felt the Conant plan would not go through Congress, though it has received a great deal of support in Washington. Trytten said that the educators thought Conant's proposal for Universal Military Service would not provide either the manpower or the technical knowledge necessary for the armed forces.

Recommend to Truman'

Both Hershey's proposal and Conant's, Trytten said, will be funneled through the National Security Resources Board which will make recommendations to the Administration. As soon as the new Congress convenes, Marshall will propose a program.

The Committees considered both the Conant and Trytten plans before adopting a plan which mostly nearly approaches the latter. They asked first, that students who "pass" the intelligence test (to be worked out) be classified as 2A, and be allowed to continue school. Secondly, they stated that these students would have to get certificates saying that they are above a certain percentage (to be determined).

"Non-Essential"

"After graduation," the report continued, "students would be given a certain time to get an 'essential' job." If they did not, they would be drafted. And such "non-essential" men would remain subject to drafting one year beyond the normal limit for each year he had been deferred for school.

This final clause is the ammended version of the Trytten plan, which was disclosed in the CRIMSON last month.

Trytten said that he did not think the Defense Department had made its decision on which plan to support; an official of the Department said last week that it had taken the Conant plan under advisement after Conant had defended it at a special Pentagon meeting.

At that meeting Conant spoke for the Committee on the Present Danger.
