Limits Army draft ban offered by Washington lawmaker
Chairman May of the House Military Committee proposed a law to prohibit inducting fathers and to set a cap on armed forces at about 10,000,000. He planned to introduce the measure on September 14 when Congress returns from recess and suggested discharge of fathers already serving. War Manpower director McNutt had said fathers aged 18 to 38 would be reclassified for induction starting in October. May argued Congress will act to stop father inductions, preserving the home as the nation’s foundation.
