Father Draft Ban
Hope Growing Dim

Chances of Congressional interfer-
orce with the Administrations plan
to begin drafting 44G,000 pre-Pearl
Harbor fathers, October /, dwindled
rapidly as the Senate on Tuesday
postponed consideration of the Wheel
cr bill until next Tuesday.
That would give the Senate and
the House only three days in which
to pass the Wheeler bill to maintain
until january / the ban on drafting
prc-Pcall Harbor fathers that other
wise viii be lifted a week from Fri
day.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selec-
tive Service chief, last week told the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
that some" of the 446,OO0 would he
indicted in October and "more" in
November.
Senator Taft, Ohio Republican, in
troduced a substitute measure which
would require the drafting Of pre-

reached 80 as of October l before any
fathers older than that are indicted.
Col. Henry c. Stanwood, State
aelective service director said that
certain number" Of Maryland fathers
definitely would be indicted next
month unless Congress prevented.
He added that the number Of men
required from each draft board had
been worked out on statewide
basis and that the Maryland draft
call for October, set by the War De-
partment, was "about average"
Draft boards have exhausted their
supply of non-fathers. The bulk of
the months quota, he said, would
consist of single men who have just
become eighteen and single and
childless married men whose occupa-
tional deferments have ended.
Until September 30 the boards will
be working on an inventory Of every
registrant under forty-five on their
records.
