Seattle Draft Boards Shrinking as 1487 Men Readied June 24
The War Department allows boards to furnish at most 80 percent of qualified men as registrants are inducted. Seattle’s reserve, near 3355, misses by about 32. 2523 men are ready for the call. On June 24, 1487 Seattle men will be modified, leaving just over 1000 eligible single men without dependents. Training accelerates nationwide as many go to France for final prep. The department expects many 21 year olds registered June 6 to be in France by October, with no timetable yet for classification or examination.
