Government Urges That All Under Is

in school this year The authorities
are anxious that the young men OF

The appeal of the government that

wonderful offer that the government
has made to feed, clothe and pay stu
dents a salary as well as defray their
tuition expenses, has created much
interest here and will be the cause of
a l@rge number of young men attend
ing college this year who would not
have done so otherwise.

PriOrities List Is Not Binding on Bod
les In Indilidurl Cases Says
CrOwder.

Washington, September 10 - The
new priorities classification of INDUS
try announced by the War Industries
Board will not bind district draft
boards in determining deferred CLASH
fcation on occupational grounds OF
men between the ages of Is and do
years, who are to register Thursday.
The boards may determine that other
industries are necessary, but in grant
ing deferred classification they must
satisfy themselves that the industry
is necessary, and further that the in
dividual registrant is essential to the
industry.
These facts we're disclosed by Pro-
vost Marshal Gen. Crowder's plans
for applying more liberal occupa-
tional exemption scheme in classify
ing the new registrants, which has
Just been made public, together with
the complete text of the amended
draft regulations and a supplement to
the QUESTIONABLE explaining to regis
trants the sections in which facts re-
lating to their classification should
be noted.
The regulations provide that an
Advisory Committee of three to each
district board, one to be named by the
Department of Labor, one by the De-
partment of Agriculture and the third
by the board itself, may introduce at
hearings on deferred classification
the War Industries Board priorities
list, but adds:
Such lists shall not be regarded as
binding upon the district board in its
conclusions as to whether or not any
particular industry, occupation or EN-
ployment, Including agriculture, is a
necessary industry, occupation or en-
ployment within the meaning of the
law and regulations, nor shall such
lists prevent the district board from
holding as necessary any industry, oc'
cupation or employment, including
