local boards DOWN
TO Odds AND ENDS
About Finish Work on
Early Claims for Ex-
emption
NO CALL YET
FOR THIRD LEVY

Members Of the local exemption
bnards had an easy time for q change
today, as they arc now winding up odds
and ends Of business connected with the
examination Of the first two lists OF
men. None of the boards could give an
idea as 10 when third levy will be
made for examination, as many cases
are st.ll pending with the distriet boaru,
and it will be impossible 10 tell hQY
near the quota Of each district has been
secured from the first two levies until
the district board disposes of all the
cases pending.
While the local boards and the dis
trict boards have been working together
In most instances. it was learned to-
dav that there has been a doubling up in
some cases which is causing confusion
and which makes much unnecessary
work
The local boards pass on the paysi~
cal qualifications, Of reglstrants and
exemptions on grounds OF dependents
and also aliens. Regardless OF what
action Is taken O cortiflcatlon Of each
case has 10 be made TO the district
board. The claims for exemption on
oceupatiOnal grounds have TO be filed
with the district board. It was learned
today that there have been many cases
where the local boards have either
disqualified a reglstrant on physical
grounds or granted his exemption claim
on the grounds OF dependents. or
aliens that have been certified back TO
the local board from the district board
as soldiers.
This has happened in cases where
corporations and others have filed
claims for their employees on occupa-
tlOnal grounds. The district boarGs
have refused such claims and certified
the men back for the National Army.
The local boards then, in checking up,
have found that some Of the men. have
Ather been turned down because OF
phvs;cal defects, or were granted eN-
emution because Of dependants or as
belng aliens. This has caused consid-
erable confusion in some cases before
ihey were finally Strengthened out.
