sewhere it is SEQ that the Provost
Marshal has directed the board to, ex-
amsna such missionaries carefully
before classifying the men who make
lhem
On top of all this has come the
statement of certain members O. Con
gress to the effect that ProvostlMar-
shall General Crowder has declared to
them emphaticaly that no registrant
need make an exemption claim, in or
der to nave his right to deferred clas-
sification considered 1t is not init
mated by The Sun correspondent that
General Crowder made no such state
ment or even that Congressman
might possibly have misunderstood
him, but the advice nevertheless is
given to registrants who wish to be
deferred to say SO on their question
naire and do it in no mistakablo Ian
guage.
Boards Under No Obligation.
The circumstances are that local
draft boards and district draft boards
as we'll are under no obligation what
ever to accord to registrant some
thing which that registrant has not
even asked for The law may clearly
/ entitle a married man with six de-
pendent children to Glass 4, but if
Through sensitiveness or something
else said married man refuses to ask
the privilege OF remaining behind to
support his children the local board
will feel no moral obligation upon it
1 to go after the facts in the case and
compel the registrant to stay at home
and keep those children from charity.
| lit is quite true that every local
! board, under its instructions from
Washington, has full power to do
! just that thing 1t may act on the
case Of registrant, by giving that
registrant deferred classification with
out his asking it. II the board wishes
4 to do it. Nobody familiar with the
1 processes OF deferment would think of
challenging that statement but in ac-
tual practice it is a rare thing for a
j defer registrant who has remain
ed silent upon the subject.
j. This does not mean that local
boards are without feeling or con-
Federation in these matters. Where
a board personally knows the circufn-
distances of a regstrant and knows
that he. has no business leaving his
j wife and children for the community
Ter the Government to support, that
board may and often does defer that
registrant regardless of what appears
on the QUESTIONABLE. This has hap
pened repeatedly in every iurisdic-
ton in the country, no doubt, and
will continue to happen.
/ But the plain practical fact is that
each draft board has hundreds OF
| missionaries to examine Some of
the boards have thousands. 1t is a
tremendous job to go through SO
many of these documents searchingly
A questionable is 16 pages in length,

Answer Guide to Boards.

| Because OF this fact it is of the ut
most importance to the registrant to
lsignify ON the face of the question
naire whether or not he feels he
should have deferred classification.
This does not mean that ne will get
it. But it means his local board will
| have at least something to guide it
in examining and weighing the facts
appearing in the questhionnaire.
One other thing on page of the
questionable there appears in black
type this instruction: IF you do not
c aim deferred classification on ac-
count of dependency or family, do not
answer any other question and do not
|sign your name Substantially the
same instruction appears under every
exemption series. The significance Of
this is that if a man does not claim
deferred classification he is directed
not to answer the questions upon
which the board must depend for in
formation as to whether or not he
should have such Classification. OF
course the registrant who has made
mo claim may go on and answer the
Questions as to his family or his oc-
cupation, disregarding the instruction
to the contrary In such an event
the draft board might or might not,
as already indicated, go into the mat
ter. But it is the clear intent Of the
QUESTIONABLE to close the case of the
man who does not ask to be deferred
then and there. Otherwise il would
not say to him, DO NOT answer any
other question or sign, your name. -
