Drafting Fathers Delayed As Replacement Plans Update
The Selective Service announced revised replacement schedules after July 1 to speed up inductions of childless men while delaying fathers. Fathers may be called last quarter this year or later, with six month release windows for occupationally deferred men unless essential. Officials testified lower physical standards may allow more men with children to be inducted, though a future majority of fathers may still serve before war ends.

Crisis Food Czar Urged by Bipartisan Leaders
Washington reports bipartisan leaders urged President Roosevelt to appoint a food czar and sought $1.5 to $2 billion in subsidies to roll back prices for consumers.
