Deferment Not To Be Granted For Dependency
Washington, (INS) — The War Manpower Commission today moved toward complete abolition of dependency as grounds for deferment from military service.
The death knell of the familiar 3A classification was sounded as the WMC instructed local draft boards to consider some 70 activities and occupations as "non-defeable" after April 1, regardless of dependents.
Unless the holders of such jobs -bantenders, bootblacks, bus boys, chauffeurs, bootblacks, bus boys, employees-get into essential war work within 60 days, they face reclassification into IA and become利 for draft.
Manpower Chief Paul B. McNutt made it abundantly clear that "this is only the beginning."
"Does this mean that henceforth dependency will not be enough for deferment?" he was asked.
"It is a rather clear indication to all who can read," he said.
