KILLED IN ACTION
ALL 4-F MEN SOON
TO BE PUT INTO
ESSENTIAL WAR WORK
Washington, April 12.—The 3,-
500,000 men wh^ have been im
munized against mandatory par- j
^^^.iieifiation in the war program by be-;
7~. ing classified as “4-F,’^ will soon be
’ \ drafted into war jobs, it is expected
here. This can be done either by a '
* directive from General Hershey,
head of the selective service sys- 1
tern, or by congressional legislation,
i Both the war and navy depart
ments believe that immediate ac
tion should be taken to make 4-Fs
available for war work, spokesmen,
for those,departments pointing out;
' the unfairness of the present ex-j
0 emption plan and al£o stressing
the fact that putting these men into |
war industries will release physical- 1
ly fit men for the armed forces.
Robert P. Patterson, under-sec-1
retary of war, giving his views on,
y this subject to the house military;
• affairs committee, said that it would!
correct a basically wrong situation |
whereby one man is drafted into,
combat duty while another of the!
same age, because he is physically; item in The Chronicle last week as
disqualified, “is permitted to en-! killed in action on February 26 in
gage in an occupation that will) Italy,
contribute nothing to the war.”
In the committee discussion it
■was pointed out that perhaps 2,500,-
000 of the 4-F group are' in war
work but that there are at least a
^oncd with lace bodices, short sleeves,
' sweetheart necklines and full net
skirts, and carried bouquets of wine-
