Draft to Take 26-29 Group Deferments Cutback Planned
Washington officials say about sixty thousand workers aged 26 to 29 face loss of draft deferrals by fall. A preliminary inter agency manpower survey shows at least 17 percent fewer key workers remain eligible as munitions cutbacks and reduced war support lower the total from 350000. The inter agency committee headed by Paul V. McNutt omits names and aims to protect an irreplaceable core of industrial labor. Registrants with six month deferrals issued earlier may have them canceled if laid off or no longer indispensable before September or October expirations.
