mall the screaming about
manpower - trying TO find
enough labor for the farms, the
shipyards, the munitions plants
the aircraft factories and the
other essential industries - SC
many restrictions have been
placed on local draft boards tina,
before long there must be con-
sidered the question of where
will they find manpower to fill
up the expanding ranks of the
Army.
The present indicated strength
of the Army is above four mil
lion men, but hints have been
dropped that by the end of l943
there must be some 10 million
men in service. The labor sup
ply now being inadequate for
the demand, what will il be when
these additional six million men
are indicted.
But the problem of the local
draft boards is where they will
find the six million. Their diff
culties become apparent only
when you look at the list of
skilled laborers whom the draft
boards have been ordered not to
touch. 1t covers more than a
thousand trades and it must
make the job of the local boards
seem almost impossible.
This list of necessary men
serves to explain why the local
draft boards have been forced
to reclassify many of their reg
istrants upward, why the Army
is taking quotas of up to 10 per
cent illiterates, up to 2 per cent
venereal diseased, men who are
physically Handicapped, childless
men, men with dependents.
A SCATTERED LIST
The list of occupational defer
ments must be dug out of the
nearly $50 memoranda which
National Selective Service head
quarters has issued. Since April,
1912, these exemptions have
been issued in the for moi occu-
pational bulletins, of which
there are now 81. Since its Gre
alton, War Manpower Commits
sion has been issuing directives
to Seleetive Service headquar-
tiers for these occupational de-
ferments, but before that every
government agency took a hand
in trying to tell the Selective
Service where to lay off.
The first request for defer
ments came from the labor
unions back in February, 1941.
when they asked that their bust
ness agents be given the same
consideration as employers. In
quick orderafter that came ex-
emptions for men working on
national defense projects outside
the u. S., for doctors, internes,
medical students, dentists, os-
teopaths, veterinarians, for stu
dents. for men in he FBI, for
certain other key federal, state
and local government employees.
The list geographically be-
fore the United States actually

sential industries listed in. one
