Army to need 1.7 million by year end, warns on draft
Lt. Gen. Joseph T. McNarney told the Senate Military Committee that an army of 1.7 million is the minimum for current tasks and any reduction would force changes in strategic commitments. Inductions for the rest of the year will total 145k to 175k monthly to maintain strength amid losses. President Roosevelt signals possible delay of no-father draft and says essential war workers would avoid induction.
