When the new quota bill, appor-
tioning draft quotas on the strength
of Glass One, was in committee and
before the house for discussion, the
s+vongest argument made against
it was the charge OF unfairness in
basing quotas on Glass One because
of the inequality of the work of
the boards, showing wide variance
in strength of Class One among
counties and other jurisdictions
where conditions were substantial
ly equal.
This argument was met by the
statement that the war department
proposed taking corrective proce-
dure, nationwide in it's application,
to remove this inequality where it
was not justified by unequal con-
ditions.
Instructions have been issued and
will be put into operation this week
calling on government. appeal
agents and legal advisory boards
to re-examine all missionaries and
records and make recommendations
to local boards in cases where they
are satisfied a reclassification should
be made.
Special attention will be paid to
divisions of Glasses Two and Three
and the cases of men in Glass Four
A will be particularly carefully
one the provost marshal general is
convinced will produce an
army alone. Regarding this class
the provost marshal-general says:
Thousands of registrants are now
in Glass Four who should be in
Glass Two or Class One" Four
A contains registrants whose wives
or children are mainly dependent on
their labor for support.
The new rules also call for re-
examination of doubtful cases I'M
er new physical standards, which
have not yet been issued to local
boards.
The local board will also meet
soon to take action in cases of
registrants engaged in ~non-produc-
tive occupations, as the new ruling
of the provost mars~hal-general may
eeaaA 1,o,o cao;etra,f with fbic
board.
The occupations regarded as nom
productive are divided into five
classes and those affected here
would be persons engaged in the
serving of food and drink, or either,
in public places" and persons en-
gagged in and in connection with
games.' 1t is believed this rul-
ing will apply to some registrants
in this district.
After action by the board, such
registrants will be called before the
board to explain their status.
Regitrants without occupations are
of course included in the. non-pro-
ductive class.
Adjutant General Sullivan this
: morning ordered the local board to
entrain 10 men for Camp Lewis
on June 26. This is the June draft
call that will take about 500 men
from this state.
The board went into session this
morning and chose the following
10 men for e~ntrainment: Adolph
Nollmer, Joseph A. Valverde, AL G.
Fields, Jules V. White, Louis Cot
inas, Nicholas P. L~ymbropulos,
Oscar R. Blaney, Charles A. Joseph,
Andrew J. Ryan and Ralph E. Rich
ardson. Richardson and Coffinas
are the only two in Goldfield at
present.
Both Judge J.. Emmett Walsh,
chairman of the legal advisory
board, and Roger Foley, district
attorney and government appeal
agent, are now busy in the district
court and the board selected j. f.
Bradley to replace Judge Walsh
and BENJAMIN j.. Henley to act as
appeal agent in the consideration of
cases where non-productive occupa-
tons are involved. The appoint
ments were made until such time
as Judge Walsh and District At
torney Foley would be able to con-
Gnue their duties.
