To Mooesta, California, District
Board.


istered for military service who in
and deliberately fail to re-
port or to respond to ~.!.~. ...~ts OF
the government by tbs .oual and dis
trict exemption board. The local
board is now engaged in the task OF
compiling list Of the names and in
formation concerning this class of
men,. They will be reported to the
district board and nothing will be left
undone to apprehend the slackers. 1t
is realized by the district board that
number of the men, most of whom are
negroes, have failed to report because
they have not received the orders is
sued to them, and in such cases Glenn
ency will be extended as far as pos
sible and they will be given an oppor-
tunity to report for examination or to
otherwise make amends for their tar
diness.
| 1t was said at the local board Office
this morning that most OF the men
who have failed to report in Maury
county are negroes, and their failure
is attributed to ignorance OF the
duties that are expected OF them or
to the fact that this class of regis
trants frequently change their place
of residence without leaving instruc-
lions for forwarding their mail.
; Another matter that is taking some
of the time of the board is the exam-
nation of men registered in other
" states and other districts who have
been certified to this board for dispo-
sition. A case of this kind Wednes-
day was that of Basil Ewing Alder
i son, a former resident of Maury coun-
Z tv. who was living in Modesto, Cali
y fornia, at the time OF the registration.
u Since that time he has returned TO
this county and when his time Tor
ii examination came he was notlned 10
IL appear before the Maury county local
y board. He was examined yesterday
O. and found physically qualified for ser
" vice and made no claim for exemp-
NJ ton His papers will be forwarded 10
er the Modesto board for consideration
ne and when passed on ther he expects
all RI he notified to hold himself in req d.
m mess for a call to military duty AID
ne to report to the nearest mobilization
camp. He will not be credited to the
'id quota of this county, but to the Gail
nd fornia district, where he was regis-
re- tered.
