No fixed rule in draft gases
The Provost Marshal General orders a supplement to the draft questionnaire to cover exemptions under the new man power act. Printing began before the act passed, so the leaf will be added to the main form for all registrants. Regulations require case by case exemption determinations, with shipyards nearly the only broadly exempt industry. Americans registered at home working abroad may apply for voluntary enlistment, with class realignments if rejected or disability noted.
