Washington, Nov. 2.—South Caro
lina’s net quota of draftees today was
placed definitely at 5,957 for the year
ending June 30 next, as selective ser
vice ptficials disclosed a formula for
determining the quota of each local
draft board.
To arrive at this net quota for the
state, deductions totaling 19,847 were
made from the state’s gross quota of
25,804. Of these credits, 3,708 were
accounted for by national guards
men called into active service, and
16,139 were caused by voluntary en
listments.
Each draftee can determine the
quota for his own draft board dur
ing the coming year, selective service
officials said, in this fashion: ,
