Draft classification rules stress family earnings and protection
Dr. William Mather Lewis told local draft boards that registrants' wives who earn enough to support themselves or have other adequate means should keep the registrant in Class 1-A. Boards must avoid public charges against dependents and aim to keep family units intact. Marriages before classification are bona fide, while post-classification unions are judged by dependency on earnings.
