Fathers Draft
Until Summer
Induction Postponed
By Supply of Men
Without Children

The Districts supply of married
men without children will postpone
the induction of fathers here till
midsummer, District draft officials
estimated today.
Although some boards have started
tapping married men and al boards
here are now processing them for
future calls, March calls are largely
made up Of single men, it was said,
Married men without children in
the District will start entering the
Army from all boards next month.
Expected to affect men employed
here in the Federal Government was
the public hearing scheduled by the
House Military Affairs Subcommit-
tee studying occupational deferment
of Federal workers.
Interesting and Sensational"
Committee members. after a long
executive session yesterday, prom
lsed interesting and sensational
developments on the basis of ma
terial brought in by their investi-
gators.
Witnesses from the Office of Price
Administration and the War De-
partment were expected to testify
today.
Figures now available at District
headquarters, it was said, indicate
that if calls continue at the present
rate. fathers will not be called here
until July or August.
Several variables, however. are in
volved, it was said. Among them
are the number of actual hardship
cases that will turn up as the boards
go over their lists of married men
without children. Occupational de-
ferments may also be necessary in
some cases.
District headquarters is recon-
mending that prospective fathers
be given a stay of induction until
their wives are able to work again.
This applies where the baby is eX-
pected III month or two. By this
method, prospective fathers may be
given as much as four months stav
although the baby does not count
as dependent.
Reclassification Unfinished.
Under old instructions. boards
were supposed to reclassify ga men
IN essential activities into 3-B. not
to be called until all ga men in the
same dependency class have been
called. Some boards for sheer lack
Of time have been unable to COM
plete this reclaSsifcation. They have
been advised, it was said, to put the
men in 3-B as they are reached in
the search for IA men, even if it
means a postponement in their in
duction for a few weeks.
Stays Of induction, unexpected oc-
cupatlOnal deferments, hardship
cases and the physical rejection rate
may all alter the date when faith
ers can expect to be called here, a
draft spokesman pointed out
Local boards, however, have all
been advised to comb their lists Of
deferred men to discover any single
men who can be made available for
early calls.

Miss Anderson stated that the
value Of work clothes can be judged
by these basic requirements:
Not too tight to hinder free move

when they are not a hazard and

F|ag-Sa|ute Ruling
Under Review TODAY
BySupreme Court
Reversal of 1910 Decision
Expected in Case Brough
BY Jehovuh's Witnesses
BY he Associated Press.

BY he Associated Press
The constitutionality of requiring
school children to salute the Amer
lean flag was argued before the
Supreme Court today to see whether
the tribunal will reverse its famous
1910 decision sustaining such a reg
ulation.
Widespread belief among lawyers
that the 1910 ruling, upholding
flag -saluting requirement by the
Mnersville tPaD school district,
would be reversed was based on the
fact that four of the seven justices
now on the court who participated
in the decision have expressed oppo-
sition to it.
Chief Justice Stone was the lone
dlssenter at the time. Since then
Justices Black, Douglas and Murphy,
who had joined in the majority
opinion, have expressed the view
that the case was wrongly de-
cided."
Should they hold to that view, the
vote OF either Justice jackson or
Justice Rutledge, who were not
members of the court in 1910, would
doom the previous decision.
Members of the court still on rec
ord IN favor of the Constitutional litv
OF the regulation are Justices Rob-
erts, Reed and Frankfurter.
At issue today was validity of
Hag-salute requirement by a West
Virginia Board of Education. It, as
we'll as the Pennsylvania regulation
was challenged by members of the
JehoVah's Witnesses sect. who saw
they regard saluting a flag as
idolatrous.
Briefs urging the tribunal to re-
verse its former decision were filed
by the Bill of Rights Committee of
the American Bar Association and
by the American Civil Liberties IN
ION. The American Legion defended
the flag salute.
