Army 200000 Men In Arrears In Induction Needs
Washington reports Under Secretary of War Robert P Patterson testified before a House Military Affairs Subcommittee that the Army is currently 200000 men in arrears of its induction needs and opposed blanket draft deferments for any industry. He critiqued a bill allowing local boards to defer essential workers, noting shortages in logging but saying other war industries like railway transport, textiles, coal, radio, and radar were equally critical. Local boards already can deter individuals essential to the war effort when needed. Alain Darlan, 23, son of the late Admiral Jean Darlan, was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital for examination and possible surgery after months of infantile paralysis following hospitalization at Warm Springs.
