ALL EXEMPTION APPEALS TO
PRESIDENT MUST BE MADE
THROUGH DISTRICT BOARD

PORTLAND, Sept. 14.--It is only
a waste of postage, letter paper and
time for a man whose claim for ex.
emption from the draft on industrial
grounds has been denied by his dis
trict exemption board. or for any OF
his relatives or friends. to write to his
senator, or his congressman, or the
provost marshal general or the pres
ent of the United States, trying to
have the ruling of the board reversed.
Strange as 1t may seem, a great
many such letters have been written.
They have poured in by the hundreds
of thousands to officials at Washing
ton Some of them have come from
Oregon.
The letters will do no good what
soever. They will not even be consid
cred, but will be returned to the
sender. If man having real
grounds for appeal wishes to prejud-
ice has case beforehand. the surest
way for him to do it its to write to his
senator, or representative or to some
official in Washington to use his lin
fluence" toward fixing up the ex-
emption.
Must GO Through Board.
There is just one procedure where
by an appeal may be taken to tho
president from the ruling of a dis
trict board. That is through the dis
trict board itself, in the manner pre-.
scribed by official regulations
1t must be remembered, however,
that only one class of cases can be
appealed to the President from the
district board. These are cases over
which the district board has original
Jurisdiction; that is to say cases that
originate before the district board,
and not with one of the local county
exemption boards.
The only cases over which district
boards have original jurisdiction are
those involving claims for exemption
on the ground of employment in a
necessary industry, including asricul-
ture.
