Fathers Stand 17 To 100 Chance For Draft In 1943
Washington reports draft age fathers face about a 17 in 100 chance of induction before 1944 with many factors altering the odds. Occupation deferments keep farmers out, while 6 million non farm fathers create a pool from which roughly 1.5 million men are expected to be drafted between Aug 1 and Jan 1, 1944. Women in service and youths turning 18 also influence the totals as replacements for casualties.
