Bill Planned
to Place 4Fs
in Production

Washington, Mar. 30-INS-Rep.
Costello (Dl Calf, chairman OF a
House subcommittee on draft de-
ferment, predicted today a bill to
get large numbers Of AZ draft reg
istrants into war production would
be ready by April 10 when the
House ends its Easter recess.
Costello said he expects the
measure-probably to be drafted
tentatively by War Department
lawyers-to be modified version
of the Luce bill, which would set
upan Army Auxiliary Labor Corps
by induction OF a limited number
OF 4-F's not in essential work.
The bin offered probably will
provide that AIS not in essential
occupations be indicted into the
Army and Immediately furloughed
to war work as civilians with an
Army reserve status, Costello said.
Plans for a labor draft of non
productive 4-F's moved toward the
action stage as another important
manpower development of major
importance was revealed, Selec-
tive Service disclosed II had agreed
TO scrap its unit system" for farm
deferments and leave the matter
in the hands OF local draft boards.
A recent increase in the number
OF units required for agricultural
deferment brought heated protests
from farm state congressman who
declared that further inductions
OF farmers would seriously impair
food production.
Rep. Costello. meanwhile, said
he had abandoned hope for adop-
ton OF his plan TO scare" ATS
into war jobs by an administrative
order to draft those in non-essen-
tial work.
1T is evident that the Army and
Navy want legislation he said.
Undersecretary of War Robert
P. Patterson, with Assistant Navy
Secretary Ralph 4. Bard concur
ring; outliIed before CostelIo's sub.
committee plan for Inducing and
furloughing the 4-F's.
Both expressed preference for a
National Service Act, but chances
for such legislation now seem re-
mote and they advanced the AZ
plan as an alternative.
