Officials contend the site may no longer serve civilian aviation and urge federal clarification or relocation for a viable municipal air field. They warn loss of the project hurts local hopes for aviation’s postwar role.

Little Rock noted Arkansas shows a high draft rejection rate with 45 percent of inductees rejected last month at the Little Rock center, higher than New Mexico 35 percent and Texas 37 percent. Officials cite liberalized physical standards and earlier married men entering service as factors, plus Arkansas men marrying younger and more registrants in 3A. The trend explains deeper cuts into categories to meet manpower needs.
