Navy to Take More Men In Draft Report
Cleveland May 27 The Navy will select a larger share of men drafted, says Capt. W W P Richardson assistant chief of State Selective Service manpower. He told Cuyahoga County draft officials that more naval selectees could close some army reception centers and Ohio's 330 boards will exhaust remaining single and childless married registrants by August. He explained 3-D considerations will weigh whether induction would deprive dependents of food or shelter noting pregnancy or a wife with a minor child does not automatically qualify a registrant. He added dependency timing should not govern the hardship test.
