New Draft Rules Recognize Father’s Right to Child Support

Washington reports new draft regulations affect deferments for men with children. A baby born from a marriage before January 15 1918 qualifies a father for deferred classification if the marriage occurred after June 5 1917. The rules also limit deferment for marriages contracted after January 15 1918 and clarify class assignments for those who married since March 18 1917.
