Call to Draft Men Amid Racial Quotas and Contingent Plans
A wartime draft notice outlines a quota system restricting 20 percent of draftees to white men in most boards while reserving another contingent for black recruits. Plans call for 30 percent of white quotas in some divisions, no negroes to be summoned in a separate call, and adjustments to divisions to meet overall white targets. Authorities cite discipline and friction avoidance, with lists of men to appear at city hall Wednesday and notes on district boards needing to certify sufficient white volunteers.
