Selective Service Releases List Of
Occupations Necessary to War Effort
Stressing the urgent need in
our war program for skilled man
power behind as well as on the
battle lines, General J. Watt Page,
State Selective Service Director,
has advised local boards of twenty-
four “critical occupations” in sci
entific and specialized fields to
guide them in the classification
of registrants in those professions.
These “critical occupations” are
listed in a bulletin sent to all State
Directors by National Headquar
ters, Selective Service System,
which also specifically outlines the
conditions under which students
in such fields may be classified or
deferred from military service as
“necessary men.” The list includes:
Accountants; Chemists, Econo
mists; Engineers — Aeronautical,
Automotive, Chemical, Civil, Elec
trical, Heating, Ventilating, Re
frigerating and Air Conditioning,
Marine, Mechanical, Mining and
Metallurgical (including Mineral
Technologists), Radio, Safety, and
Transportation — Air, Highway,
Railroad, Water; Geophysicists;
Industrial Managers; Mathemati
cians; Meteorologists; Naval Archi
tects; Personnel Administrators;
Physicists (including Astrono
mers); Psychologists, and Statisti
cians.
The National Headquarters Bul
letin pointed out that all of these
critical occupations require highly
specialized periods of training of

two years or more; that all these
occupations are needed in activi
ties, according to the National Ros
ter of Scientific and Specialized
Personnel, which are necessary to
war production and essential to
support of the Nation’s war effort,
and that there are serious short
ages of persons “trained, qualified
or skilled” to engage in them.
Specifying that a student who
is in training and preparation for
one of these scientific and special
fields may not be considered by his
local board for occupational defer
ment “until the close, or approxi
mately the close, of his second or
sophomore year in a recognized col
lege or university,” the bulletin
stated:
“There are many registrants
who are in training and prepara
tion to acquire the qualification or
skill to engage in these critical oc
cupations. Normally, the period of
training and preparation to acquire
the necessary qualification or skill
in these scientific and specialized
fields extends over a period of four
academic years in a recognized
academic, professional, or techni
cal college or university. In many
instances, however, it is necessary
for persons to have additional
study in a recognized academic,
professional, or technical college
or university in order to acquire
the more highly specialized quali
fication or skill necessary for the
performance of particular services
in activities necessary to war pro
duction or essential to the support
of the war effort. Persons engag
ing in further studies in addition
to the four academic years normal
ly required are referred to as grad
uate or postgraduate students.”
The National Headquarters Bul
letin then reads:
“A registrant who is in training
and preparation for one of these
scientific and specialized fields
may be considered for occupation
al deferment at the close, or ap
proximately at the close, of his
second or sophomore year in a
recognized college or university if
he is pursuing a course of study
upon the successful completion of
which he will have acquired the
necessary training, qualification,
or skill, and if he gives promise
of continuing and will be accept
able for continuing such course of
study and will undertake actual
further classroom work within a
period of not to exceed four
months from the close of his sec
ond year.
“A registrant who is in training
and preparation for one of these
scientific and specialized fields
shall be considered for occupation
al classification during his third
and fourth years in a recognized
college or university, provided that
he gives promise of the success
ful completion of such course of
study and the acquiring of the
necessary degree of training, qual
ification, or skill.
“A graduate or postgraduate
student who is undertaking fur
ther studies for these scientific
and specialized fields, following
the completion of the normal four
academic years, may be considered
for occupational classification if,
in addition to pursuing the addi
tional studies, he is also acting as
“graduate assistant” in a recog
nized college or university or is
engaged in scientific research re
lated to the war effort and which
is supervised by a recognized Fed
eral agency. A graduate assistant
is a student in postgraduate studies
who, in addition, is engaged in the
teaching and instruction of under
graduate students in these scien
tific and specialized fields.”
Furthermore, the National Head
quarters Bulletin pointed out, reg
istrants who have completed train
ing and preparation for any of
these “critical occupations” neces
sary in the war program, should
then be given reasonable time to
become engaged in the practice of
his profession. This period / is de
fined as “not to exceed 60 days”
after graduation, the bulletin stat
ing:
“When a registrant has com
pleted his training and preparation
in a recognized college or univer
sity and has acquired a high de
gree of training, qualification, or
skill in one of these scientific and
specialized fields, such registrant
should then be given the opportu
nity to become engaged in the prac
tice of his profession in an activity
necessary to war production or es
sential to the support of the war
effort. In many instances follow
ing graduation from a recognized
college or university, a certain pe
riod of time will be required in the
placing of trained, qualified, or
skilled personnel in an essential
activity.
When a registrant has been de
ferred as a necessary man in order
to complete his training and prep
aration, it is only logical that his
deferment should continue until
he has an opportunity to use his
scientific and specialized training
to the best interest of the nation.
Accordingly, following graduation
from a recognized college or uni
versity in any of these scientific
and specialized fields, a registrant
should be considered for further
occupational classification for a
period of not to exceed sixty days
in order that he may have an op-
Broilers, Fryers
Featured on Food
Special This Week
Broilers and fryers will be fea
tured as a Victory Food Special
from July 16 through July 25 by
retailers in Texas and throughout
the nation. According to H. H.
Weatherby, assistant poultry hus
bandman of the A. and M. College
Extension Service, supplies of
broilers and fryers, beginning in
mid-July, will set an all time high,
due to a national increase of 19
percent over 1941 in the number
of chicks hatched.
The merchandising campaign is
designated to encourage increased
consumption of this poultry meat
at a time of year when its avail
ability for marketing is at its
peak, he explained. The large sup
ply this year results from the
great expansion which has oc
curred in poultry production to
meet wartime egg requirements.
During the first four months of
this year the number of chicks
hatched exceeded the output of
1940 by 37 per cent.
“Increased comsumption of this
poultry meat at a time when sup
plies are in seasonal abundance
will help conserve pork and other
meats urgently needed for the
nation’s armed forces, as well as
for Lend-Lease shipments to the
united nations and other wartime
purposes,” Weatherby said.

Dowell says his co-workers in the
department make up the most con
genial group of men with whom
he has ever worked.
Badminton is a sport of which
most people have the wrong con
ception, states Dowell. He goes on
to say that not many people are
familiar with true badminton; that
it is one of the most strenuous
games known and requires more
stamina than basketball. As soon
as the equipment arrives Dowell
will be ready to teach the sport
of badminton (as it should be play
ed) to any and all Aggies inter
ested in the sport.

and diligent effort to become so

Scandinavian countries, Denmark,
Sweden and Norway, are in one
confederation and Switzerland has
been done away with as an inde
pendent country.
To the layman this is all ex
tremely weird and almost revolt
ing but in defense of his plan,
Professor Renner claims that “My
map of Europe would meet all the
valid arguments advanced by the
Axis countries, and thereby de
prive them of propaganda weap
ons, without yielding them any
thing which would render them
materially stronger than they were
in 1939.”
I wonder how true this all is—
could a subdued and insulted group
of the calibre and pride of the
Germans be satiated with only a
little power? That’s beyond the
fondest dreams of a dreamer. To
my way of reasoning Germany
should be allowed either unlimited
power, to appease her desire for
world domination, or have every
vestige of influence wrested from
her and compulsory democracy
levied so others might live in
peace. And I want/to live in peace!
