would have greatly retarded the speed
ing up process by which the Government
! hopes to call out the new electives.
The registrant Is therefore expected
| TO state whether he claims deferred
classification CT exemption and to state
| on what grounds.
An interested person. such as the
wife or child or employer, may claim

A representative OF the Government

Making Claim Aids Government.
! Gen. Crowder did not discuss this
phase Of the matter to-day, but definite
information may be expected later. The
| plan Of Gen. Crowder is to explain Of
| fcally one phase at a time in order
that the public mind may absorb that
before taking in the next step-in the
general proceeding
The fact that a registrant does not
| claim exemption or deferred classinca-
! ton. even though he is clearly entitled
| to 1t, does not mean that he will lose the
privilege Of having his case Judged on
| it's merits. But 1t will mean that he
! may complicate the Governments work
| by making II appear that he Is not en-
titled to deferred classification or ex-
emption when in reality he Is. His an
swers to the detailed questions in the
| QUESTIONABLE would show him entitled
to this deferred classification. whereas
his previous statement that he does not
claim II would naturally lead to the op-
posite assumption.
For example, a man with a dependent
| wife and dependent children is placed
by the Government in Glass ". IT
would facilitate the Governments work
II this man claimed exemption, and il
| would only complicate the work II . for
reasons Of patriotism or pride he refused
to claim exemption though he knew him
self entitled to II. Ultimately his status
would be accurately gagged and he
would be placed in Glass ~. But
meanwhile valuable time and labor
| would be lost.

Der !. Gen. Crowder explained to-day
that to meet the army's October man
power call he would have TO draw on

Cen Crowder has comparatively
small! number OF men left from the
August - call Of 2l-year-old regis
trants.
| Gen. Crowder hopes to have all the
