Fathers to be called on Oct 1 for pre Pearl Harbor fathers
Washington reports selective service boards are authorized to call up pre Pearl Harbor fathers after October 1 only as needed to meet monthly quotas. Estimates show about 300,000 fathers with children born before Sept 15 and not in non deferrable work would be inducted this year, with up to 30,000 more if required to reach 306,000. Farmers remain largely draft proof, and boards may reclassify as needed to meet local demands. Induction will follow draft order numbers, with hardship and essential work considerations.
