The headquarters responded juickly to the call for manpower ssued Monday by the Army. Draft Director Maj. Gen. Lewis B.

North Carolina's ^uota of the 20,000 men is 610. dershey said the inductions should jegin as soon as possible. It will take at least 60 days to jet the draft machinery, rusty 'rom " disuse, operating, Hershey ;aid. No one has been inducted since January ly^y. Men 19 through 25 are eligible or induction but the first called ire to be single men nearest their J6th birthdays. Deferments are iutomatic for men with dependents, and may be granted by local boards to persons holding essen;ial jobs, or to students. Nearly all of World War II veterans are exempt.
