Selective service officials said the
new program would affect fathers
in this way:
The NATIONWIDE readjustment Of
calls to take all available single and
childless married men before pre-
war fathers are called was consid-
cred in setting the October l date,
and the evening-up process may not
postpone the induction of fathers
beyond that date, as many observers
believed.
Scts up DuHer.
But the new program does set up
a buffer between most pre-war
fathers and the draft. The buffer
consists of the men on the new
-deferrable list. No one knows,
however, how many men are now
engaged in the jobs on the non-Ge-
ferrable list and how many will
heed the warning to get out of them.
Comparatively few" other pre-
war fathers will be needed to fill
the calls each month. Those who
will go will be the men who can lay
no claims to occupational defer
ment.
A large number of men now hold
| jobs that are considered neither
-deferrable nor essential. These
will be indicted as their order num-
bers are reached unless they trans
fer to essential activities.
If they go into industries where
labor is short, even for unskilled
jobs, they have good chance OF
winning an occupational deferment
under the liberalized deferment
policy. Cities like Buffalo, indus
tries like the West Coast aircraft
and ship-building companies, the
mid-Western foundries, the copper
and coal mines, all are critically
short of labor
Can Gain Equal Footing.
If they transfer now, they may
develop sufficient skill within a few
months to put them on an equa.
footing with single and childless
married men in a plant and the
fathers would outstay the others
replacing men who were previously
irreplaceable. That applies even
where the shortage of labor is less
acute.
Selective service officials believed
the new program would answer
many objections to the father draft
because draft boards will have new
reasons to put the fathers they are
reluctant to draft into a deferred
class.
The officials believed it might be
more difficult to convince draft
boards that single men with high
skills must be allowed to remain on
war jobs but said that this could
be controlled to some extent
through the State directors taking
appeals.
Draft boards were directed that
a mans replaceability was of para
mount importance" in determining
whether he is a necessary man
and therefore eligible for defer
ment.

Airline Head Would
Bar Domestic Lines
From Ocean Routes

Legislation that would bar indi-
vidual domestic airlines from inter-
national transocean flying was urged
| today by w. A. Patterson, president
of United Air Lines, in a letter to
L. Welch Pogue, chairman of the
Civil Aeronautics Board.
Mr.. Patterson indicated one or
more American companies, under
private enterprise, might be chosen
as the instruments to represent this
country in world air trade and
limited that pooling of both air
line and steamship interests might
be considered. The latter, accord
ing to company spokesman, was a
reply to a recent agreement signed
by is other domestic airlines in
which they indorsed the principle
of free and open competition.
Opinion Outlined.
"Our recommendation" Mr.. Pat
terson wrote the CAB, 'is that the
domestic and transocean fields be
considered separate and distinct,
with realization that one entering
the field of the other will contribute
nothing that win strengthen our
position as a nation in the field Of
international trade. American free
enterprise in air transportation can
accomplish what is desirable ma
tionally in the field without resort
to Wasteful subsidy stimulation.
Mr.. Patterson contended that fig
ures show there would be a rela-
lively narrow air travel market
across the North Atlantic after the
war, and that the United States al
ready had seven potential foreign
competitors, all government-oWned
or government-cont
Sees Ruinous Competition.
'If more than one United States
company is to participate in the
United States share of North At
lantic competition, no one United
States company could be an out
standing success in view of such a
narrow market without completely
running its United States cOmpeti-
tors, unless such competitors re-
ceived very heavy subsidy to in
sure survival" Mr.. Patterson de-
clared.
Mr.. Patterson said that 43 air
planes capable of carrying 100 pas
sengers, plus 5000 pounds of mail
and cargo, could handle all class A
air passenger traffic which can be
expected on the North Atlantic five
years from now
Mr. Patterson served notice, how
ever, that if domestic airlines were
allowed to enter the transocean
field, United Air Lines would file
applications for transatlantic and
trans-Pacific routes.
