Work Or Draft Bill For 4 F's Washington April 24
A work or be drafted bill giving Selective Service power to place 4-Fs or draft deferred men who refuse essential jobs into uniform was introduced in the Senate by Senators Brewster and Bailey. The measure would require immediate induction for any worker who leaves an essential job without permission and would empower the director to order deferred or rejected registrants into essential work or face active duty. The House Military Affairs Committee had suggested spurring inductees to domestics around camps and hospitals under current law. The bill targets registrants 18 to 45 who quit essential farm or industrial work without permission for immediate induction.
