No Draft Worries For Men of 26-37 In Essential Jobs
Washington reports that revised draft rules will not pull men aged 26 to 37 from essential wartime work. Officials say as long as workers stay in essential jobs they are safe from call up, while those who shift to peacetime labor may be reclassified 1-A. The aim is to accelerate war production and reduce labor turnover, potentially mobilizing about 90,000 additional workers quickly for critical programs. Suspense over calls for 26 to 37 is lifted by applying the same standards as younger men.
