Draft Call Delayed
for 19-Y ear-Olds
Col. Francis Drath, state se
lective service manpower chief,
said 19 - year - old Nebraskans
probably won’t face a draft call
for several months—unless there
is a “terrific increase” in nation
al calls for men.
Drath commented on a state
ment by Brig.-Gen. Paul L.
Wakefield, Texas director of se
lective service, who said his state
and others would have to resume
drafting the 19-year-olds in the
last half of 1954.
“We will not exhaust the sup
ply of 20-year-olds for quite a
while,” Drath said. “Unless there
is a terrific increase in the se
lective service quotas we cer
tainly shouldn’t touch 19-year
olds for six months anyway.”
Drath pointed out that 19-year
olds were taken early this year
when the state’s quota was larg
er. Then the calls tapered off
somewhat and now there’s “quite
a backlog” of 20-year-olds, he
said.
Drath pointed out that be
tween 800 and 1,000 boys in the
state turn 20 every month. Some
have gone through most of their
20th year without being tapped
by the armed forces.
