Draft Boards Give
New Classification
State draft boards are receiving
many telephone calls these days
from men who want to know’ w’hat
“IV-A” means.
Because of a recent amendment
in Selective Service regulations,
more than 100,000 Texans are eli
gible for a change in classification.
Nearly all of them are exempt
from further military service un
less Congress and the President
change the law’ in the future.
“This means that, under pi’esent
law’, individuals receiving it have
completed service and are exempt
from further service.” Individuals
receiving the IV-A classification
w r ere formerly classified in Class
I-C (Discharge) and Class I-C (Re
serve). These two draft classifica
tions are now abolished.
