New Draft Deferment Policy Proposed by Draft Service
The Selective Service unveiled a plan to replace the 1Y catch‑all with a 1H holding group for most 18 year olds and some over 18, abolishing 1Y. New procedures for exemption hearings aim to let youths fairly present claims while preventing delays. 18 year olds would enter 1H until lottery numbers draw. high numbers may remain in 1H or be saved. Classification would shift to 1A-RII or 1A-RI as cases are adjudicated. temporary injuries could place a man in 1A-RI.
