OCCUPATIONAL DEFER -
KENTS IN SPECIAL FIELDS
Stressing the urgent need in our war
program for skilled manpower BEHIND as
well as ON the battle lines, the Territor
ial Director of Selective Service has ad
vised local boards of 24 "critical occupa
tions" in scientific and specialized fields
to guide them in the classification of
registrants in those professions.
The "critical occupations" include the
followings Accountants, Chemists, Econo
mists, Engineers(Aeronautical, Automotive,
Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Heating, Ven
tilating, Refrigerating, and Air Condi
tioning, Marine, Mechanical, Mining and
Metallurgical,-including Mineral Technolo
gists; Radio, Safety, Transportation,-in
cluding Air, Highway, Railroad and ftiter);
Geophysicists, Industrial Managers, Math
ematicians, Architects, Meteorolo
gists, Personnel Administrators, Physi
cists, -including Astronomers; Psycholo
gists, and Statisticians.
Local boards are advised to give con
sideration for occupational deferment to
registrants in these specialized fields
"who, if engaged in the practice of their
respective professions, are in a position
to perform a vital service in activities
necessary to war production and in activ
ities essential to the support of the war
effort." In accordance with the provi
sions of the Selective Service law, this
does not, however, constitute a blanket
deferment for men in these specialized
fields and the case of each registrant must
be considered individually.
