Draft Headquarters
Studies Board Data
To Delay Fathers
leohy Hopes Single
And ChiIdIess Men Can
Meet November Quote

District draft headquarters was
making study of local board re-
ports today to determine whether
enough single and childless mar
ried men are available to postpone
the draft OF fathers here until next
month
William E. Leahy. District draft
dlrector, made 1t clear he hoped the
local board reports would show the
supply OF nonfathers had not yet
been exhausted, but he said he
couldn't tell definitely until the
board reports have been analyzed.
1t was previously indicated that
prewar fathers here would not be
called until the last part OF this
month.
Whether the District. which has
managed to stay behind a number
OF States in summoning fathers to
NIL calls. will be able to keep it I'D
was expected to be decided this
afternoon.
On the basis OF the new board
ngures, it was explained. it NAV
be possible to make a last-minute
adjustment of calls to shift the
load to boards whose reports show
they can supply more single and
ichildless married men than they
previously estimated were available
The principal uncertainty come
from tlM EfeAtive speed of Jrafr

them may not be finished in tim,
and fathers who have been proc.
essed may have to go ahead of the
others.
Draft boards. to be sure they had
enough men to fill calls, have been
sending fathers for their prelimi-
nary physical examinations. Mean
while, some men whose occupationa]
deferments have expired, are be-
coming available, but they. too. have
to be given their preliminary phvsi-
cal examinations and allowed time
for an appeal before they can be
sent induction notices. That time
lag may make it necessary to send
some fathers to induction stations
before the end Of this month.
