Allotment 0 K Enables Dad Calls for GI Families
Washington August 31 AP Chairman Vinson of the House Services committee says the draft will soon extend to married men with dependents to allow boards to meet future calls. The House approved a bill granting GI family allotments from 85 to 165 dollars monthly. Vinson notes selective service can broaden eligibility to fathers while Maj. Gen. Hershey reports about 60 percent of those called are rejected as unfit. A draft spokesman says dependents extension could be achieved by regulation changes with presidential approval.
