Local Draft Board May Change Some Veteran Classifications

A spokesman for Cambridge Selective Service Board 47, the "Harvard" draft board, said last night that no instructions had been received there regarding a new draft policy, announced Wednesday, that would provide for reclassification of all 1-C veterans who have not served six months on active duty, exclusive of time served in college under a military program, since September, 1940.

Local boards will also be instructed to discontinue the practice of postponing induction of college students to allow them to complete a term or quarter, according to the Wednesday announcement from Major General Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Service chief.
