Teen age draft bill awaits signature of the president
Washington November 13 The teen age draft bill awaits President Roosevelt's signature in May. If approved some 18 and 19 year olds may be called to the army by Christmas, with about 800,000 of the 1,500,000 eligible youths expected to be drafted this winter. Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey estimates up to 500,000 may enlist or be absorbed into other services. The bill defines all youths who had their eighteenth birthday by April 27 as eligible. Senate debates trimmed a training requirement and eyed farm-worker deferment while a few senators objected to the change. High school 18 and 19 year olds called later may defer until semester end. those past forty-five birthdays need consent for induction.
