Drafting Of Fathers Ordered By War Department
Washington May 14 The government faced a clash between executive and legislative branches as the War Department extended new inductee furloughs from seven to eleven days and planned a three week period by September 1, signaling widespread drafting of fathers. Senate leaders push for exemption hearings while House allies seek to delay inductions for the rest of 1943. Maj. Gen. Hershey said 2.5 million more men needed this year could require fathers to begin induction by August 1 or sooner, with uniform furloughs phased in to avoid disruption at induction centers.
