RULING ON EXEMPTIONS
The Provost Marshal Gives Out
Statement Concerning 4 Matter of
Interest to Drafted Men.

The following statement has been
sent out by the Provost Marshal at
Washington regarding claims Of ex
emption by drafted men on account
of marriage since July Goth;
Qucstion.--Can a person married
since July 2Otn base claim for dis
charge on that ground?
Answer.-Malriage is not of itself
a valid ground for making claim Of
discharge.
A man whose wife is mainly de-
pendent OH his daily labor for sup
port, may claim exemption on that
ground. But dependency is matter
of fact. The rule does not ask: as
the husband, as a matter Of law,
liable to support the wife," 1t asks;
as the wife as a matter of fact
mainly dependent on the daily labor
of her husband for support? Only
the exemption boards can determine
this fact. Where dependency is claim!
ed and the circumstances show a
marriage hastily consummated since
July Goth BY a man whose number
is high on the available list, the ac-
tual fact of dependency must be
| clbsa1,. snr1t;r;,ed
Moreover, by Section 6 of the Act
of May 18th, "any person who evades
or aids another to evade the require
ments of this Act" is guilty. of mis-
demeanor; and Local Boards are au-
thorized to warn persons who claim
discharge on the ground of marriage
contracted since the date of the Act
that both pa. ties are liable to prose
cution under this provision if, in fact
the marriage was contracted solely
with the intent to evade the perform
ance of military duty.
Statement From Adjutant General
Bv direction of the Provost Mar
shall General the Governor of Vir'
ginia directs me to say; that no re,
sipnations vii: be received from an!
member OF any Local Board of Ex'
emption excep. from total inability
to perform the duties of Office. 1t i:
Indispensable that the personnel o.
these boards be permanent. Under
Section 6 of :he Selective Service Act
of Congress rcembers of these board:
are drafted for this duty just as arc
1.-The registrants who are TO be elect
ed for military service.
Under authority given by the
President of the United States, th'
Governor of Virginia hereby desig
mates all members of all Local Board:
in Virginia tc administer any ane
all oaths necessary to the execution
of the Draft Act, including acknow
Judgements Of afidavits presented il
connection with claims for exemp
tiols. These services are, of course
to be performed without charge t.
the citizen.
