The Frontier LXV O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1945 NO. 37 NEED 11,200 MEN NEXT 6 MONTHS IS SERVICE ESTIMATE Farm Men 18-25 Expected to Furnish 5,100 of Quota During the first six months of this year, Nebraska selective service will need approximately 11,200 men j he meet the general military ser vice induction requirements of the, f , 'j-med forces, Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henninger, state director estimated recently on the basis of present j conditions. It is expected, the general said, that these inductees will come from the following sources: New 18-year-olds . 2,100 P'rom Farms, ages 18 through 25 . 5,100 From industry, busi ness, ages 26-29 . 2,000 Men ages 30 through 37 2,000 11,200 General Henninger gave the fol lowing explanation regarding these man-power sources: The 18-Year-Olds It is estimated that 3,900 Ne braska youths who attain the age of 18 during the first six months of 1945 will register with selective service. One out of every three probably will be unfit for service and therefore, will not qualify for induction. This will leave about 2,600 qualified for induction but 500 of these may be unavailable for induction until after July 1. The remaining 2,100 will be inducted. The Farmers As of January 1, 1945, there were 10,837 unexamined men, ages 18 through 25, deferred in class II-C for farm work in Nebraska. Because of the acute need of the armed forces for young men, Ne braska selective service has been directed to review the farm de ferment claims of young men. It is lieved that half of the 10,837 farm ers, age 18 through 25, can be in ducted with full regard for the Tydings amendment. ‘ The Tydings amendment to the Selective Service act does not give the agricultural workers absolute exemption from induction. Such exemption was never intended. When he asked Congress to adopt his amendment, Senator Tydings said: “All my amendment seeks to do is provided that whenever a person is employed continuously in good faith in the production of food, and taking him off the farm would leave a large section of land un cultivated, and there is no replace ment, he will be deferred upon those facts until a replacement can be found.” Nebraska agricultural experts agree that at the close of 1944, there were 145,000 male agricultural workers of all ages in Nebraska. Nebraska selective service believes that the induction of 5,000 of these workers, ages 18 through 25—less than 4 per cent of the total—will not leave large sections of land uncultivated nor seriously hamper food production in the state. In addition, while the 5,000 are be ing taken from the farms for in duction, an estimated minimum of 3,600 discharged service men will be returning to the states. Some of the 3,600 veterans will revert to farm work, thus offsetting a number of the men being inducted from agriculture. Men in Industry and Business As of January 1, 1945, there were only 684 unexamined Nebraska men, ages 18 through 25, deferred in Class II-A and Class II-B for all work other than agriculture. More than half of the 684 are in the Merchant Marine service and can not be considered for induction now. The remaining 300 are spe cial cases—scientists, expert tech nicians and advanced medical stud ents—whose current contribution, or immediately pending contri bution to the war efforts is so great that induction at this time cannot be accomplished prudently. Since industry and business have no available, physically qualified registrants, ages 18 through 25, selective service must look to the next age group—men 26 through 29 — for inductees. On January 1, there were 4,845 such Nebraska regis trants, and selective service is con templating the induction of 2,000 of them. Men Ages 30 Through 37 Since the acute need of the armed forces is for young men, capable of the highest degree of efficiency under battle conditions, Nebraska selective service is count ing upon men, ages 30 through 37, to make their contribution to the war effort by working in civilian activities essential to the war ef fort rather than by serving in the armed forces. Therefore, Nebraska selective service wants its men, ages 30 through 37, who are already working in essential activities, such as war plants and agirculture, to stay on the jobs they now have so long as there is a recognized need for their services. Nebraska se lective service wants its men, ages , 30 through 37, who are not now (Continued on page flvo) PAGE NEWS ITEMS Charles Russell, seaman sec ond class, left Wednesday aft ernoon after spending a 10-day leave with his wife and daugh ters and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
