Drafts to compel fathers and workers for war effort
War Department officials told Congress that drafting fathers and enacting compulsory assignments to war industries are needed to sustain production. Lieut. Gen. McNarney and Undersecretary Patterson argued that delaying fathers would force drafting childless workers and disrupt strategic plans from the Quebec conference. Admiral King urged maintaining current induction plans, warning against reductions in troop bases for 1943 and 1944. Patterson urged national service to speed victory, noting aircraft production would suffer without manpower controls.
