4F Physical rules may be relaxed for manpower demands
Thousands of the nation s 3 000 000 4-F draft age men rejected for military service because of disabilities may be measured for uniforms to release younger men for active duty. The House military committee sought the views of Undersecretary of War Robert P Patterson on relaxing physical requirements that prevent induction of 4-Fs. Patterson indicated a survey and possible use of rejected men for non general service to free fit men for combat. Costello argued many younger men with non grave disabilities could perform essential war jobs and free combat capable youths. The testimony suggested channeling some 4-Fs into non combat or non general duties in industry or seasonal work.
