Leaders Seek to Determine
Must" List For Deferments

chinery for designating key work
ers for deferment worked out by
the end OF the week. Interested
officials previously agreed that
limited deferment OF men under
rs should be granted TO safeguard
vital production programs. WPB
experts estimated that 40 thou
sand deferments would be neces.
sary in the 20 TO &c age group.
At the same time. industry
spokeFmen asserted before the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
that state draft directors failed TO
heed national selectiye service in
structions for the deferment Of
key young workers.
Some production agency repre-
sentatiYes also have voiced a simi-
lar fear and It is for this reason
that President Roosevelt will issue
instructions to draft officials EN-
phasizing the Importance OF keep
ing irreplaceable workers at their
jobs.
Dreetives Unheeded
Officials OF the General Tool and
Die Manufacturers Asso cation
charged that state draft directors
did not heed deferment directiyes
with the result that decline Of
30 per cent in national production
was imminent.
Richard Moore. of Bridgeport,
Conn. asserted that so per cent
OF the essential workers In the
Bridgeport Tool Company had been
indicted and charged that the Con
necticut service director was one
OF those who had refused TO con
slider occupational draft deferment
for younger workers.
The production-draf controversy
started when President Roosevelt
ordered a review OF all occupation
al deferments. Selectiye Service
Headquarters since have directed
state draft officials to defer work
ers whose essentially in critical
industries is beyond question, but
production chiefs are doubtful that
this will prove TO De an adequate
safeguard.
