DRAFT DEFERMENTS
EXTENDS TIME
REQUIREMENTS
Young men of draft age who
ask for and get deferments un
der certain conditions automati
cally extend the time during
which they may be drafted by
nine years.
This was pointed out in a state
ment this week by John L. Mc
Cormick, territorial draft direc
tor, in clarifying regulations on
extended draft liability. He point
ed out that men who do not get
any deferments mentioned in
! draft regulations cannot be draft
ed upon reaching their 26th
birthday.
He pointed out tne following
types of deferred men, among
others, who have their liability
for service extended until age
j 35: Men deferred for ROTC, ac
cepted aviation cadets, deferred
college and high school students,
men deferred for farming and
other civilian jobs, some men de
ferred for dependency, 4-F's, and
men who enter the National
Guard before the age of 18 years
and six months.
“All men under 26 years of age
on June 19, 1951 who had one
of these deferments, or who since
I
I that time got one before he was
j 26, will be liable for service uit
i til he is 35,” McCormick era
1 phasized.
“It’s possible under this pro
vision of law,” he said, “for such
deferred men to become disqual
ified for deferment at—say, age
i 34. If that happens they can be
! drafted,” he concluded.
