State Draft Head Forecasts Law Clarifying Deferment Rules
State draft officials in Harrisburg expect a new federal law to clarify deferment rules for fathers and married men. Col Richard Mulion, state director, said the act aims to ease understanding for local boards and the public as it blocks instruction of fathers until all eligible men are in uniform. Officials noted a large call for fathers may come, with few single men or wartime deferments likely to offset the draft, and predicted limited reductions before February ends. At Union City offices the current manning schedule was said to permit eight releases soon, with only twelve to fifteen more anticipated for the coming call.
