Registration Of Men To Begin Within Next Six Weeks
Washington reports local draft boards will start registering men ages 18 through 25 in about six weeks with the first draft possible by late September. President Truman will appoint a national selective service director, likely Maj. Gen. Hershey, and state directors. Inductions could begin by Sept. 22 under the 0-day clause, though national emergency is unlikely. Volunteers and reenlistments may fill much of the quota, with exemptions for veterans, clergy, active personnel, conscientious objectors, and essential workers. The draft act lasts two years unless extended.
