Draffees Beyond 80
Subject 10 Immediate
Call Under New Rules

Several thousand District men in
the over-30 age bracket have been
held in Ia while draft boards con-
centrated on calling younger men,
but the new draft regulations make
these men Immediately available for
service unless they go into essential
work, District Draft Director Will
liam E. Leahy said today.
1--WE know who these men are and
what they're doing" Mr.. Leahy said.
"If they don't find themselves war
work we will be able to take them
Immediately"
The backlog of older men classed
as available for service but not
drafted, Mr.. Leahy explained, had
grown because the emphasis had
been placed since May on men
under 26 and the calls were such
that they could be filled with young
er men.
All Earned Deferments.
District draft boards, he said, had
refused to defer even the older men
unless their jobs justified an occu-
pational deferment. As result, he
said, older men who were given
occupational deferments here have
earned them because of their work
and should keep them unless they
quit that work.
Mr.. Leahy emphasized that such
service industries as transportation
and the other public utilities, food
and fuel distribution and similar
services all were short of help and
that there are plenty of jobs here
for older men to fill.
Even before Selective Service
Director Hersheys telegram earlier
this week took the emphasis away
from deferments because of age, the
District Board of Appeal was
scrutinizing appeals filed for men
over 80, according, to the appeal
boards report today on decisions. for
the week ending November Is.
Two Refused Deferment.
The appeal board refused defer
ment to two older men, each the
father Of two children. One was
36-year-old cab driver, who asked
occupational deferment or defer
ment on grounds of hardship. The
other was the 32-year-old owner of
a valet shop.
The board also denied deferment
to a 26-year-old haberdasher In
Buenos Aires-one of the thousands
of American citizens who registered
in the worldwide registration. The
board also refused to defer a 26-
year-old sheet metal worker.
The appeal board approved occu-
pational deferments for an 18-year-
old medical student; Washington
Terminal machinist, 27; Civil Aero
nautics Administration engineer, 27;
Naval Research Laboratory chemist.
90; six Navy Yard employees in the
26-29-age group and Cooper
Bessemer Corp. mechanical engineer,
%.
The board approved every defer
ment granted by local board in
another area and up for review
here during the week. The review
cases included go men under 80,
among them ID already rejected for
physical reasons, and 185 men over
80.
