New Determents From Drait Rules Mane Plants Washington. April — ( \I*> — The Thirty percent limit for draft deferments of young workers lias been broken again. This lime il is for "must" army and navy programs, chiefly air eralt. As a result, an additional 10. 000 youm; workers under ,'!0 will keep their deferred classi fications instead of heading for induction stations. The increase was granted by the so-called McN'utt commit tee. an inter-agency group. It handles deferment policies for nu n 18 through ?9. One informed source said he understood the entire 10.000 in crease was for the aircraft in dustry. but another reported it covered all "must" programs of both th·- army and navy. In either case, most of the addi tional deferments are certain to go to the aircraft industry. Easiest Invasion Of Pacific vVar Nearest 1 iic· Enemy Homeland < » ;im. April ·".
