State Boards Grid For Action In West Virginia Draft
Charleston WV June 14 The drafting of 19 to 25 year olds expected to be approved by congress this week may require 1000 West Virginians a month for the first year, Adj Gen Charles R Fox said. He said the draft machinery is overhauled and ready, with boards set up within one week to 10 days after Washington’s notification. About half as many boards as during World War II will be needed. Two of three prospective board members have informal appointments, with county residents on boards where multiple counties are involved. Fox assumes his office will administer the peace time draft if effective.
