Army Will Take Men
Assuming Obligations
With Induction Near
Druft Boards Will Seek
Reasons for Accepting
Financial Burdens

Men who assume financial obli-
cations when Army induction Is i'm
minent were cautioned by a ma
tional selective service headquarters
spokesman today that these obli-
cations would not be an escape from
the draft.
With the necessity Of enrolling an
extremely large Army, it was ex-
planned, draft boards will pay close
attention to when and why obliga-
tions were assumed, as well as what
protection will be given under the
Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act, the
compulsory allotment and allow
ance law and similar measures in
tended to protect the interests of
q man and his family.
Financial obligations assumed
when induction was imminent are
no more q cause for deferment than
taking on dependents, the selective
service spokesman said.
Imminence Clarified.
1mminence Of induction is defined
as any time a reasonable man can
decide that, because of the national
emergency, his order number and
similar considerations, he is likely to
be called into the service. Draft
boards do not recognize as cause for
deferment marriages performed after
December Z.
On the other hand. the selective
service official said, while every one
Is expected to make some sacrifices,
1t Is not intended for dependents to
move into a hovel or starve to
DEATH"
Selective service policy provides
that where a local board considers
great and unusual hardship would
result from the induction of a man,
he may be deferred.
In other words, when the category
Of single men with dependents is
reached. draft boards could still de-
eide that man shouldn't be drafted
on the basis of the actual support
he Is giving an invalid mother or
sister, which they could not obtain
elsewhere.
$40 Extra For Each Child.
When family men are reached, the
father of several small children
might be deferred because the wife
could not take care of them suffic-
iently. whether or not she was work.
Ing. An extra $40 for each child is
allowed, however, under the family
allowance bill.
Both military and civilian au-
thorities admitted at the time the
allotment and allowance measure
was still on Capitol Hill that hard
ship would be involved in some
cases, but at the time it was reported
that Britain had found that no
more than 10 per cent of its families
had fallen into the hardship group.
Instead of setting up a system of
special benefits" for hardship cases
which could result in paying as
much as 5000 a month extra to
some families, it was decided that
local boards could defer men whose
families would be left In dire dis
tress.
Between the allowance law, under
which payments will begin at about
the time men with dependents start
going into the Army on large scale
and the Soldiers and Sailors Relief
Act, 1t was not expected that hard
ship cases here would far exceed
Britain's 10 per cent.
