Occupational
Deferments
Liberalized
Emphasizing that the needs of
the armed forces are for men un
der 30 years of age, National j
Headquarters of Selective Service
today announced that local boards
are being requested to liberalize
occupational deferments so as to
reduce the total number of men
to be inducted in the 30 through
37 year old group—particularly
those who are fathers—and to re
view cases of registrants in the
age group 18 through 25 who have
heretofore been rejected for gen
eral military service or found
qualified for limited service only,
and forward for re-examination
those whom they have reason to
believe may qualify for military
service.
The five main points covered in
the local board memorandum are:
1. Need of the armed forces for
young men.
2. Review by local boards of
cases of IV-F and limited service
registrants 18 through 25, and for
warding for re-examination those
who there is reason to believe
may now be qualified for military
service.
3. Liberalization of deferment
policies for men over 30. especial
ly for those who are engaged in
work useful to the community.
4. The fact that cutbacks in war
plants will make older men avail
able for war production jobs,
thereby enabling the release of
younger men now occupationally
deferred for military service: and
also that discharged veterans will
be available in increasing num
bers to rpelace the younger men
now holding occupational defer
ments, and
5. The 42A (Special Revised^
procedure will remain in full ef
fect pending receipt of more accu
rate information concerning the
urgency of certain war production
programs and services.
“The armed forces have again
stated that there is need for young
men, preferably below 30 years of
age,” states the memorandum an
nouncing that revised require
ments provide that to be eligible
for occupational deferment a reg
istrant 30 through 33, as well as a
registrant 34 through 37, need
merely be “regularly engaged in
an activity in support of the na
tional health, safety, and interest
or useful to the community, or in
an activity in war production or
in an agricultural occupation or
endeavor essential to the war ef
fort.” It was previously required
that registrants 30 through 33 be
found “necessary to" as well as
“regularly engaged in” the occu- i
pa'ions described in order to be
eligible for occupational defer- j
ment.
Officials at National Headquar
ters pointed out that approximate
ly 90 percent of the remaining
men over 30 are fathers.
The memorandum says that the
armed forces have indicated that
the calls for men in July and suc
ceeding months will be reduced
to about 90,000 per month.
