House Military Group Balks at Latest 4-F Plan
The House Military Committee rejected a labor draft proposal appealing to appoint 4-Fs and men 38 to 48 to fill essential wartime jobs. They urged no new legislation this year, favoring selective service and agency action to keep war plants staffed. Republican Rep Hartess argued existing discharged workers could fill industrial roles. The panel warned a major project risk if labor draft laws were pushed too soon.
