New Draft Rule Aims At Work Or Fight Choice For 26 to 37
Draft boards shift toward strict evaluation of a registrant’s employment to determine essentiality. Men aged 26 to 37 not in critical production may face return to prior deferment or induction. War needs push for more replacements, with a 10 to 20 percent rise in inductions expected. October output for key programs lagged, with deficits in aircraft ships guns and ammunition. Fire and cotton duck production are highlighted due to front line needs and tenting requirements.

Rehabilitation through occupational therapy at Walter Reed
The article describes rehabilitating disabled U S war veterans via occupational therapy at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington with Pfc William L Harris improving dexterity of his right arm by playing checkers under an assistant therapy plan. It notes ongoing manpower shortages and wartime limits on facility expansion, hindering cigarette production increases. Tobacco distributors plan nationwide rationing to ensure equitable stocks and adjust deliveries to shifting populations. Col Fred Fay testifies that the army may reach 68 000 and 900 000 cigarettes by end of 1944, but front line shipment delays persist due to unloading limits and competing needs for food and gasoline.
