the married men. AS 1t turned out,
several hundred Thousand married men
will go into the Army during December
because there was delay.
Factors Affecting Draft
For the men still In civilian life the
only answer to that question-"Waen
will be called?"-are the successes and
the setbacks Of our forces in the months
of the second year Of war. The draft
may extend to the Navy. The new man
power program President Roosevelt has
mentioned may make great difference.
The conclusion to Gen. Hershey's re-
port on selective service in peacetime,
written from the point of view of De-
cember 8, 1941, might have been written
yesterday.
From the experience gained in 1918
and the Is months just prior to Decem-
ber 7, 1941, 1t is apparent that the Selec-
tive Training and Service Act of 1910, as
amended, can and will secure the number
of men for the land and naval forces Of
the United States needed for victory in
an orderly manner and with the least
possible disruption to the present and
future Life Of the Nation"

factors In the order in which family men
will be called
Dependency deferments today present
q much clearer picture than do occupa-
tional deferments for a number OF
reasons. In the first place, dependency
deferments fall into natural categories.
There are single men with relatives
married men with wives only and married
men with children.
Occupational Deferments
The Selective Service Act itself pre-
vents group deferments as far as occu-
pations are concerned. Congressional in
sistence on putting occupational defer
ments on an individual basis stemmed
from the abuses which grew up out Of
the group deferments of men who worked
in the shipyards under the Emergency
Fleet Corp. of World War I.
In peacetime. occupational deferments
we're granted literally. After all. the
peacetime training program restricted
the military needs to less than 900 900
men, but the United States was becom-
ing the arsenal of democracy. It needed
industrial manpower. Then, 1t was i'm
portant that civilian activities be dis
rupted as little as possible.
The Manpower Pool

occupational deferments during peace
time. however. gives little indication Of
the actual number in essential activities
A much larger proportion Of these mer
were actually deferred because Of de.
pendency. Other men who were deferred

tipually urged to transfer to critical jobs.

As and 65 nave registered and nlled OUT
occupational questionnaires. The Wom-
en- have not yet registered.
In peacetime, directives from national
headquarters acquainted local boards
with some OF the jobs in which there
was a shortage. Special attention, for
instance, was paid to agriculture.
Headaches for Local Boards
Since the war, however, number Of
factors have combined to create head
ache for local boards who understood
we'll enough that they were selecting for
industry as we'll as the Army. Occupa-
tional deferments granted for six-month
periods, were running out and employers
were beginning to feel the pinch. Indus
try was expanding and so was the Army.
The War ManpoWer Commission got in
volved. So did the War Production
Board.
National headquarters is authorized to
send to local boards whatever is submit
ted that might guide them in deciding
on ooccupational deferments AS a re-
suit, local boards have been bombarded
with occupationa1 material.
In some localities local boards have
worked closely with State occupational
advisers as well as local employment
oh1ces and factory managers. In other
localities critical shortages have de-
veloped.
New Manpower Plans
President Roosevelt said the other day
that more consulta ton with factory man
agement might be a partial solution to
the ever-growing manpower problem. A
step in this direction is the manning
table plan which allows employers on a
voluntary basis to work out their own
plans for the orderly withdrawal OF their
men, providing for their replacement as
they go.
All indications, however, point to a
more formal arrangement, new organi-
zation Of the Nations manpower, with
definite steps taken to draw more women
into critical activities.
Meanwhile, since they know where
they stand If they seek dependency de-
ferment, more and more men are ap-
pealing for occupational deferment. At
the same time, men are seeking re-
classification in 3-B, the classification for
men with dependents who are also In a
critical activity.
The 3-B classification which has been
part OF the program Of persuading men
with dependents into critical activities,
has baffled some draft boards. The reg
istrant does not have to be necessary
man." but only in necessary activity
to be classed in 3-B if he has dependents
and draft boards are loath to give this
double deferment" to, for instance, q
janitor in building where critical work
Is going on.
No Permanent Deferments
The war has emphasized what was
only theoretical in peacetime that no de-
ferments are permanent. Even the men
deferred because Of physical handicaps
are moving into the Army. Lowering OF
eye and teeth standards early in the
war was followed by the abolition o1
Glass 1-B which had been the class into
which men who had lost fingers or toes
the sight of one eye or the hearing II
one ear were placed.
