STATE DRAFT BOARDS
BEGIN INDUCTION OF
ALL MEN UNDER 26
CONTINUED from First Page)

!
Following receipt of order last
Saturday from Colonel Albert w
Foreman, state director, based on
a directive from Major-General
Lewis B. Hershey, national direc-
tor, Delaware boards started tenn
porarily removing the names of all
men 80 years of age through 81
from the call list, as well as the
names of all men 26 to 20 years,
inclusive, who are in war support
ing activities.
With the induction dates for Del
aware boards set for April 81, %,
and 25, the boards were preparing
to send out induction notices. or,
in few cases, already had mailed
notices. when the draft rules were
suddenly altered by national order
last Saturday. The boards must
now cut down their lists in accord
ance with instructions in the bull
letin issued by Colonel Foreman.
Telegram Halts Induction
General Hershey's telegram halt
ed both induction and pre-induc-
ton examination of all men 26
years of age or older. who are MAX
ing "a contribution to essential ag-
ricultural, war production or war
supporting activities"
Colonel Foreman exercised dis
cretiOnary authority in issuing his
bulletin, which goes a step fur
ther than the Hershey order and
temporarily halts induction or pre-
induction examination of all men
80 or over regardless of their oc-
cupations.
AS for the men in the 26 to 80
age group, only those not in war
supporting activities are to be call
ed for induction and for pre-induc-
tiOn physical examinations.
In considering which men in the
26 to 20 group to send up for in
ductiOn or physical examination
now, the boards are faced with the
problem of determining individual
ly what constitutes war support
ing activity. Board officials said
that they have no lists of such ac-
tivities and will use their own
just as they do in deter
hardship cases. The Opin-
ion was expressed by several Off
cials that the benefit of any doubt
will be given to the men.
Delaware boards will call men
for pre-inductiOn physical eXami
nations to be held April Il to 20,
inclusive. and April "a. Since five
days notice is usually given for
The physical eXamination-as con-
trasted with 10 days for induction
most boards have not yet nOti-
led men to he examined. /.
Number To BE Reduced
The numbers of Delaware men
nducted this month are expected
o be sharply reduced because of
General Hershey's order. The ma
iOnal director said that the Army
md Navy told him they need young
men. even if it means failure to
meet quotas.
ManpOwer Chairman Paul V.
'lcNutt, who also heads the COM
nittee of manpOwer claimants, an
group. was reported
o he ready to hand General Her
;hey a list of IL activities in which
some deferments are recommend
I'd for younger men.
Officials at state draft headquar-
ers also advised potential draf-
ces of all ages to consult their
Ocal boards if they are in any
Ioubt as to their status and 4-F's
Who are not now in essential war
work were told to seek advice from
hd U. S. Employment Service,
Sixth and Shipley streets, Will
nington, as TO available Jobs in
the war. The latter head
Iuarters reported receiving scores
# calls relative to war jobs.
