Three Affidavits Necessary
to Establish Exemption
on Ground of Dependents

Under the draft regulations as pro-
mulgated today is one requiring mar
ried men claiming exemption because
Of tho dependency Of wife and children
to file separate affidavits, signed by
the claimant, his alleged dependent
wife and a third party, head of a
family resident in the area in which
the claimant registered.
Tho affidavits of husband and wife,
it is set forth in the regulations, must
show under oath that the claimant for
exemption is the sole support of the
wife and children. IL any. the form Of
affidavit being set forth in the regula
tons.
The affidavit from the third Individual
must state that. to the best of the
affiant's knowledge and belief. the wife
and family of the exemption claimant
are wholly and entirely dependent upon
the husband claiming exemption.
1t was explained today at the office
the third or supporting affidavit Is re-
auired rather as a reference than any
thing else. It was explained that
naturally a third person could have
little actual personal knowledge of the
financial status of family of which
such third person was not a member.
but that to require aff1davits only from
the exemption claimant and his wife
would seem to leave the question of ex-
emption for dependency too much to
the individual. local exemption boards
being thereby placed In the position of
having to accept at face value the
afiidavits Of directly interested persons.
