Established Family Men May Serve in Industry
Washington May 14 Selective Service Director Hershey said there is no plan to draft large numbers of established families but some breadwinners may shift to essential war work. The pay allotment bill aims to support dependents with $20 monthly from the serviceman, $20 for a wife and $10 for each child, plus smaller amounts for indirect dependents. Army figures estimate the cost at about $527 million annually, a rough projection.
