Exemptions Tightened as Shipboard Slacker Crackdown Rolls On

The Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corp narrow draft deferrals after Gen Crowder reports about 18 000 to 20 000 registrants routed from the EFC in a drive against slackers. Draft boards, the board and the EFC coordinate to curb evasion by those seeking EFC jobs. Officials promise no blanket withdrawal of shipyard exemptions and stress only clear evaders or untrained workers will be affected. They warn shipyard workers must prove entitlement and emphasize loyalty, with penalties for false classifications. The effort centers on preventing abuses while preserving essential labor for shipbuilding and national defense.
