State Selective Service Director
John F. Robinson hoped today that
by appealing to industries to loan
draft-age fathers to essential war
plants, and induction Of married
men with families could be kept at
q minimum and the manpower
shortage made less critical.
Robinson asked plants engaged in
non-war work to permit the fathers
to shift to war Jobs, and to retain
seniority and unemployment rights,
which, he said, evidently influenced
many married men to retain the
present employment.
Business executives" said Rob-
inson, should recognize the hard,
cold fact that they are going to lose
most of these men anyway. 1t Is
my personal opinion that by grant,
ing the men leaves of absence Tor
the duration, such employers would
be performing patriotic duty"
Meanwhile, Robinson cautioned
fathers not to wait for congress
sional action to keep them out OF
the draft.
Thine Is getting very short" he
said. THE regulations now in eff
feet call for inducing such fathers
starting October first. and we are
going ahead on the basis that there
will be no change in the regula-
tionS."
Pre-Pearl Harbor fathers were adj
vised by Robinson to Immediately
contact the U. S. Employment Serv-
ice and find out their classification
status.
