Draft Units Ordered to Fill All Quotas in Virginia
Col Mills F Neal state director of Selective Service urged Virginia local draft boards to fill calls completely as state lagged behind in men for the armed forces. He cited high disqualification rates and slow reclassification of pre Pearl Harbor fathers, noting 22.4 of 100 rejected for mental moral or physical reasons versus 15.5 nationally. Virginia deferments for essential war work were 9.9 percent vs 12.5 nationally. He warned boards behind in registrations must speed up reclassification to allow induction of men under 26 even if production suffers.
