Move draft bill would centralize control and redefine deferrals
The measure withdraws selective service supervision from Manpower and places full draft authority with the director. It cancels the work or fight order affecting deferments for essential workers and tavern and race track staff. A five member medical panel would review physical and mental standards to possibly lower them for those deferred. Occupational deferments would be reviewed by local draft appeal boards rather than at the registrant’s residence.
