Favoritism by

Washington, May l0.-To dispose OF
fear that county and city reg stration
boards may exercise favoritism in en-
rolling soldiers under the selective
draft act, General Crowdcr. provost
marshal, issued a statement tonight
declaring such practices would be
virtually impossible because of the
explicit terms in which the act is
drawn. lie warned registration Off
Gals that favoritism easily could be
detected and would be punished VITA
heavy penalties.
Every precaution,' said the state
ment, will be taken to make it GER
tain that the registration will be con-
Quoted with exact justice.
The law is specific and allows no
latitude 70 the boards, either in the
matter Of registration or in the later
n.a'tsr Of exemption from service. In
fact. the law is self-executing. Every
mau within the age limits fixed by the
selective service act must register and
the penalty Of the law for evasion of
registration will fall not only on the
man who fails to appear but on any
member of a registration board who
may be shown TO be in collision with
the person who attempts TO escape his
duty
