EXEMPTION IS
 CLAIMED BY TWO

Appearing before the local board and claiming exemption from military service on the grounds of their be. longing to neutral country, although they had previously declared their in. tention of becoming citiens of the United States, were David Sigfried Larson and Henry Steinegger. The former is native of Sweden and the latter claims Switzerland as the place of his birth
 Acting on the recent amendment to the selective service law, the board has temporarily suspended the induc. tion of these two men until the Pres ident prescribes regulations covering cases such as these. An act was re- gently passed by congress in which was embodied that should any de- clarant withdraw his declaration of intention in order to avoid being in the service he would forever be bar red from becoming a citizen of the United States. In all probability this act will be applicable to these two who seek to avoid military duty Fairbanks Citizen.
