ing OF proofs and their decisions are
final II the ruling OF a local board
is affirmed. the person in question
stands finally accepted for military
service.
In passing on claims for exemption
on the ground OF employment in nec-
essary industrial and agricultural
occupations, the district boards must

national interest during the emer-
gency
Certificates Of exemption will not
necessarily be permanent They may
be revoked with changing conditions,
or may be granted only for prescribed
