American Legion Post to Lead Draft Registration in Scottsdale
Sipe Peterson Post No 44 of the American Legion will head the local draft registration in the Scottsdale district. Maj. Gen. A M Tut hill state selective service director notified the post of its appointment. Registration begins Monday August 30 at the Legion Home East First Street. Men 18 to 25 must register except active duty and foreign diplomats. Inductions begin at 19 and over. Several deferment classes exist with dates announced by President Truman for men born 1923 through 1930 in sequential groups. Virtually all draftees in early months will join the Army. The new selective service law allows 161000 18 year olds to volunteer for a year's service to avoid a draft hitch of 21 months.
