4 F s Face War Job At Army Rate Of Pay
Washington reports that men under 38 who dodge war work may be drafted into Army service at Army pay. The War Department outlined a plan for nonparticipants to be inducted, receive four weeks basic training, then be assigned to military duties or government plants if disqualified. Those who volunteer may enter inactive reserve status, while those who fail to volunteer and lack needed skills may be assigned to Army installations in uniform. The policy targets primarily 4 Fs who have not pursued essential industry work. Senate Military Committee hearings on national service recapped penalties for those aged 21 through 43 who refuse war jobs, with possible changes. The War Department could determine eligibility of civilian employees amid debates over the draft and labor requirements.
