Draft-Age Fathers' Chances Of Entering Service
Washington reports that draft-age fathers face about a 17 percent chance of induction before next year with prospects worsening unless large replacements occur. The situation hinges on occupational deferments, with about 6 million nonfarm fathers eligible but only roughly 1.5 million expected to be inducted from Aug 1, 1943 to Jan 12, 1944, while others come from youths turning 18 and single or childless married men. Women volunteers and waacs will bolster overall strength, but the draft picture for 1944 remains uncertain with continued need for replacements and ongoing manpower adjustments.
