MANY MARRIED MEN
WILL BE EXEMPTED
Reversals in Many Exemption Cases
By New Ruling of Department

Little Rock, Sept. 4,-lnstructions
have been received by the Arkansas
District Exemption Boards which
may result in quite a few reversals
in exemption case which have been
denied. The new order gives more
latitude to the exemption CLAIMS of
married men and will release from
service men who have claimed ex-
emption On having dependent wives.
These men have claimed they were
the 5. lie support of their wives, but
where It was shown that tie parents
Of the man or of The wife were able
70 support her. the board has refused
to allow exemption.
There have been quite number of
cases before the district boards of
young men who worked bat little,
being supported by their parents.
Many claimed exemptions, declaring
their wiaes to be dependent upon
them, and even though the parents
make his own living, and that they
would not support the wife if he was
drafted, the board refused exemption.
The district board has no alterna-
tive in the matter and many pam.
pered sons will probably evade ser.
vice through the leniency Of the de-
partment.
