NO QUEsTIONAIRES YET.
Lawyers Lay Plans to Assist In Filling
Them Out

Question naires for military regstrants
in Wilmington have not been sent out.
The first to be scntout will be for regis
trants who have reached 10 but not 81
years of age. The Federal government
has not notified the local boards when
the questionnires will bc sent out. Mean
while the boards are sorting them,
The members OF the bar acting as an
advisory council, met in the Public Build
ing today and arranged schedule to
take care of registrants. Because there
probably will be too many questiopalres
for the members Of the bar TO handle
without assistance the advisory council
will swear in associate members. Compe-
tent persons in industrial plants will be
asked TO take care of rcpistrants there.
The advisory council decided to make
headquarters in the Federal Building,
using the courtroom, the grand jury
room, the Civil Service examination room
and such other space as may be available.
