lions to commandments OF naval districts
who have been enrolling merchant OH
GERS In the Naval Reserves as follows:
During the present economic and
unemployment situation the bureau, IN
exceptional cases, will waive the re-
QuirementS that merchant marine offl-
Ger who applies for enrolment in the
naval reserve shall be actually serving
as merchant marine officer on board
merchant ship. If the applicant has
been employed within reasonable
time and has served the necessary time

slider waving the fact that he Is not
