Will Not Break Up Families ARMY TO TAKE SOME MARRIED MEN, HOWEVER
The Associated Press reports that Selective Service Director Hershey says there is no plan to break up many established families by drafting breadwinners. He notes shifts of married men into essential war work may occur to sustain production, with dependents aided by an allotment bill. The plan would pay $20 monthly per service member to dependents, plus government supplements of $20 for a wife and $10 per child, aiming to support morale amid heavy mobilization. Major Richards adds morale justification, citing 160,933 dependents among 1.86 million drafted since 1940, with projected annual cost around $527 million, though labeled a wild guess.
