DEFERRED CLASS
URGED FOR men

Crowder Again Asks Selects
to Claim Exemption When
it is Required.
(Bv Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder again today
by formal statement ask men regis
tered under the selective service law
who are now engaged in answering
questionaries not to let motive of Chi
valry prevent them from claiming
deferred classification if their occu-
pations or the status of their depend
ents entitled them to do SO. He again
pointed out that such claims can be
made by a third person and though
local boards are endeavoring to as
certain the true conditions even where
claim is not made, the necessity for
expediting the work makes it incum-
bent upon registrants to assist.
1T should be borne in mind by the
individual registrant," said General
Crowder," that the military program
of this country built around the de-
sires Of all concerned to win victory
for our cause as quickly as possible,
demands of the selective system the
utmost speed in classifying the 13 mil
lion approximately who registered on
September II. If all these $4,000, 900
registrants were declared to aid the
boards by indicating their own atti-
tude regarding deferment and work to
rely entirely on the ability of the
boards to perceive propriety of making
deferments the whole success of rails
ing the army would be seriously ham
pered and delayed.
This applies equally to those en-
titled the deferment on the ground of
dependency and those on the ground
of necessary occupational employment.
Either the claim should be made by
the registrant or by competent third
person in his behalf"

The motives for the note from
