Draft Bill Delayed as Induction Date Looms in War
The Senate postponed action on Wheeler’s draft deferment bill for pre-Pearl Harbor fathers until Tuesday, two days before the War Manpower Commission’s October 1 induction deadline. Taft proposed delaying younger fathers first, while Truman urged manpower reductions to ease burden on families and industries. Baruch may testify on labor hoarding as Wheeler seeks evidence to support deferments, with high command warning 700,000 Army and 500,000 Navy inductees needed by year end to keep operations on schedule.
