1-B Drafting Will
Begin On August ]
Men With Minor Physical Defects
Due To Be Called

In the first draft of selective SER
vice registrants classed other than
la, the rapidly expanding Army
on August 1 will begin calling men
with minor physical defects who
have been heretofore deferred and
placed in Glass 1-B.
They will be assigned to limited
duty" in which their physical de-
fects will be no serious handicap.
An Army announcement this
week said inductions under the new
policy would be limited for the time
being to those liable to bring to
the Army a useful vocation which
was followed in civil life"
Asked to expand on that point,
the War Department said this state
ment should be taken to mean any
one capable of doing almost any
useful work and not just persons
with some particular skills or train
ing.
The 1-B draftees will be ordered
to corps area service, the War De-
partment organization or other
such posts. By taking over these
jobs, they will free other physically
fit soldiers for assignment to COM
bat units.
