To Draft Fathers In Non-Essential Work THOUSANDS OF FATHERS TO BE * DRAFTED SOON Critical Labor - Army Man power Situation Results In A New Order WASHINGTON — Thousands of pre Pearl Harbor fathers holding non war jobs this week were laid open to possible induction even before their class becomes vul nerable as a whole October 1. This was apparent in a sweeping series of new orders aimed frankly at using selective service as a powerful instrument in the labor military manpower situation to: 1. Hold essential workers in war-useful jobs if they are so employed now, 2. Assure movement of other workers from “unessential” tasks to jobs considered important to the war effort, and 3. Furnish men needed for the armed sendees without cutting war production. Must Boost Production “We must increase war produc tion and at the same time give our armed forces the men they need,” said Chairman Paul V. Mc Nutt of the war manpower com mission, which embraces selective service. This program, bolstered by tight ening of WMC controls over move ment of women and men workers outside the reach of selective ser vice. was described authoritatively as about the ultimate manpower move by the administration short of a general labor draft. (New WMC standards for per mitting transfers from job to job are to be written into employment stabilization plans by October 15. Primarily, these are intended to stimulate transfer from less essen tial to more essential war jobs.) Lawrence A. Applev. executive director of the WMC, said it could not be guaranteed to make an out right labor draft unnecessary' al though he hoped the new orders would have that effect. The selective service part of the program was embraced in orders: 1. Broadening the list of non-de ferrable activities and occupations, making fathers who stay in these jobs subject for induction before October unless drafting them would result in “extreme hardship and privation” to their families. Added wei'e 23 activities and 27 specific job-occupations. New List Created 2. Creating a list of 149 “critical occupations.” principally super visory or high-skill jobs in the most vital war work, carrying super-eligibility for deferment that likely will last for the duration. 3. Requiring that draft regis trants possessing critical - occupa tion skills get into direct war work or civilian activities essential to support it by October 1, if they have not already done so. or for feit any claims they may establish thereafter to occupational defer ment. 4. Directing draft boards to be extremely careful about inducting men whose absence might impair war production and urging them to give close consideration to de ferring these men. even if they are unskilled, until labor replace ments are available. Applev said the new orders had no immediate direct effect on men in the 38 to 45 age group. Under the selective service law, men up to 45 years of age are subject to military duty. However, the armed forces, when requisitioning the selective service organization for men, have stipu lated for months that they be be tween the ages of 18 and 38. Appley pointed out, however, that under the law the army and navy could resume requests for men up to 45 at any time. There has been no indication that such a move is probable. Among the jobs newly designa ted as non-deferrable to “insure that the first fathers to be drafted will be those contributing least to the war effort” were: 1. All jobs in the manufacture ef soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, amusement machines and novelties, or in the operatic i of race tracks, pool halls, amusement arcades and ticket agencies, travel agencies and clubs, or in the wholesaling or retailing of games and toys, soft drinks, musical instruments and artists’ supplies. Types Make No Difference 2. Such jobs, without regard to the type of business in which they are held, as sales clerk, floorwalk er, hotel, apartment or club desk clerk, ticket taker, literary or actor agent, theatrical or film managing agent, book or periodical agent, window trimmer or display man, sign writer or painter, and sight-seeing or hunting and fishing guide. Unless fathers in these jobs change immediately to other work, they are to be classified to 1-A as quickly as their boards can get around to it and to be inducted as soon as the boards run out of non - fathers without deferments rights, regardless of how soon that occurs. However, by registering with the U. S. employment service for a job transfer and filing proof of registration with their draft boards, they can get a 30-day period of grace from the proof-filing date before reclassification. Appley said the non-deferrable designations did not mean those jobs were useless but that they must be filled with women or non draftable men because “they can't compete with the army and navy for manpower.” Skilled Help Wanted The WMC.he said, is as eager to get non-deferrable job holders into useful work as into the armed forces. It is even more eager to get men with critically - needed skills into war industry than into military ranks, he indicated. The critical occupations, all de scribed as requiring such long training and experience that there is a crucial shortage of men who can fill them, were concentrated in such direct war production in dustries as aircraft, shipbuilding, radio and radar, and synthetic rubber manufacture. They also included certain min ing and oil industry workers, rail road conductors and engineers, merchant ship officers, precision instrument and tool makers, and a variety of engineers, scientists and professional men, including accountants. The cautions given draft boards against impairing war production were intended in part to brake any tendency to yield to pressure to get single and childless married men out of war plants hurriedly as a means of holding off the drafting of fathers. Boards which ignore the instruc tions can be overruled on appeal, officials observed, pointing out that the national and state selec tive service directors have power to take any case before an appeals board. As a further restraint, the boards were directed to accept guidance from employment sendee offices. Cooperation Sought But to lighten pressure on the boards and to secure willing co operation, it was stated officially, they are to be given quota credits for men occupationally deferred just as they get credit for the We Don’t Repair Machine Guns- { But if your truck has lost some of its power due to = neglect or some mechanical defect, we can fix it for you promptly and properly.

I 3 Phone 2 number of their men in the armed forces. The long-standing list of nearly 3.000 essential jobs in 36 broad fields of activity lost none of i t s special deferment - eligibility through the new orders, although it yielded top place to the 149 positions mbved up to the critical list for super-deferment rights. The result of the program was to set up four sets of draft priori ties based exclusively on occupa tion. These, in the order of in duction they would bring about for men of equal dependency status, were: 1. Jobs on the non-deferrable list. 2. Jobs not appearing on any list, such as those of lawyer, bank er, taxi-driver, baseball player or other professional athlete. 3. Jobs on the essential list. 4. Jobs on the critical list. There was a possibility that all 300.000 fathers expected to be drafted this year and the greater numbers apparently destined to be taken next year would be gotten out of jobs on the newly-lengthen ed non-deferrable list and those to be added to it “from time to time.” Army Lapel Button THIS NEW Army lapel button of gold-plated plastic, will be award ed to servicemen and women, both officers and enlisted personnel, honorably discharged In the war.

Contained in Amendment 1 to Maximum Price Regulation 330 al so are provisions which place 15 new categories of garments under the regulation. The new types of garments in clude toddler sizes (six months to four years) for coats, suits, jackets, skirts and dresses; slacks and slack suits for all size ranges, and ’teen age girls’, children’s and tod dlers’ blouses. Prices during the fall and winter of 1943-44 for the 31 categories already covered by the regulation will be held to the levels which existed in 1942. As for the 15 new categories, retail prices are ex pected to be lower than before issuance of the amendment which became effective August 7, the board chairman said. LIME AND LEGUME SEED ARE AGAIN AVAILABLE The Agricultural Adjustment Agency will again allow North Carolina farmers to draw upon their 1944 allowance for conserva tion materials, it was announced here today by the State College Extension Service. Where a farmer has used his maximum 1943 allowance, he may get lime or winter legume seed out of his 1944 allowance, up to an amount equal to that of his al lowance on 1943. the announce ment said. This, it was explained, is to allow the producer to obtain all conservation materials he needs to get his land in shape for the even greater production demands that will be made on it next year. If a farmer has not used all the conservation materials his farm has earned, through performing AAA practices, for 1943. he can get the materials in the 1943 year up until December 31. The farm program year formerly ended on October 31.
