Bile in New York City" said Mr.. Conk-
ling, after comforting with Philip Nc
Cook. of the Mayors Committee, rs
the fact that under the rules each mem
Der of an exemption board must live
within the district for which he is APP
pointed TO serve. tried to-day to have
this rule waived as it affects New YORK
City, but without success. That means
many extra vacancies must be hlled be
sides those caused by designations. In
some cases il has been found that all
three appointees live outside their dis
trict, and a whole new substitute board
must be selected"
Boards Complete Work
Even before the arrival Of Mr.. Conk-
Ing there seemed TO be tendency all
along the line, following The Tribune's
revelations of how matters really stood
TO lift New York out of last place. Ed
ward F. Boyle, president of the Elec-
ton Board. reported 10 Mr.. McCook
in midafternoon that by night about
five sixths of the registration boards
would have turned over their cards 70
the local exemption boards, and that the
rest would be transferred over to-day
or tomorrow.
Exemptors were notified that they
might hire "any reasonable and neces-
sary number of helpers for clerical
work at rate not to exceed $3.50 r
day.
IL was also announced that New
York had won its fight for a city-wide
board Of appeals and industrial ex-
emptions. The board will be the only
one of similar jurisdiction in the
country, for all others cover each a
Federal judicial district. Under the
ruling authorizing it, the New York
appeal board need deal only with ex-
emption problems arising In the
greater city. The original plan would
have seen Brooklyn and Queens ap--
peals passed on by the same tribunal
exercising jurisdiction over the rural
counties Of Nassau and Suffolk, and
Manhattan and the Bronx hitched with
territory extending to Albany. =.
For all the stimulating effects OF
publicity and the redoubled efforts to
straighten out the exemption boards,
only three Of the 1Ss of them have
finished numbering the registration
cards in red ink and turned over the
lists TO the Mayor for transmission TO
Albany. These were the boards Tor
the 1920, the 1920 and the lS6th
OlSlrlctS.
New Rumors Afloat
All sorts Of disquieting reports con-
corning the personnel of the exemption
boards have been set afoat. late
starter, added yesterday, is TO the ef-
feet that practically all the physician
appointees in the district south of
Fourteenth Street, which is the strong
hold of the pacifsts, are enrolled So
cialists. However there will be plenty
of safeguards and checks TO see that
no physically fit man is disqualified
for service on medical examination.
81 have twice addressed members of
the local boards in Brooklyn; have
sized them up and listened to their
questions" said Mr.. McCook. They
are high class lot of men and are GER
tain TO 90 their duty well. have no
doubt the men selected in the other
boroughs are of the same high type"
Mr. McCook found an important new
volunteer assistant yesterday in the
person Of Henry F. Ives, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit lawyer, who will begin
to-day to help straighten out the ex-
emption board tangle.
