Springs, Di rector of Selective Service for the State of South Carolina, announc ed today that in accordance with directions from National Selective Service Headquarters, Local Se lective Service Boards have been instructed to call immediately for preinduction physical examina tion all men in Class 2-A and Class 2-B between the ages of 18 and 26 to determine whether they are physically fit for military ser vice: Occupational deferments for men in this age group will in the future only be given where a Form 42-A Special is approved by the State Director having juris diction over the place of employ ment of the registrant and said forms, according to General Springs, will only be approved where the registrant is directly engaged in vital war activities or production and in which he is found necessary and irreplaceable. The 16 unit rule for farm defer ments has been abolished, Gen eral Springs stated, and from now on the test will be whether a man can show conclusively that he contributes more to the war effort by working on the farm at this critical time than he could by service in the armed forces. President Roosevelt has recentl stated: “We are well equipped in food and mynitions but their pro duction has drawn over heavily on our stock of manpower. Agri culture and industry should re lease the younger men who are physically qualified for military service.” Consequently in applying the test serious consideration wil be given to the critical need of the armed forces for men in this group. The local boards are to use the same standard in deter mining whether or not a regis trant engaged in agriculture should be deferred if he is be tween the age of 18 and 26 that the State Director uses in respect to occupational workers, i. e. the registrant must be found to be qualified, necessary and irreplace able. It is probable that very few physically fit men in such age group can qualify for deferment with this as a standard. The time has come, stated Gen eral Springs, when the need of the armed forces for men be tween the ages of 18 and 26 is so great that practically all physi cally fit men in this age group must soon become members of the armed forces even though de ferred up to this time because of industrial occupation or farming. x Mt.
