serve in filling out the application
form. It was pointed out that fire.
quently the questions concerning prior
arrest or conviction of crime are not
filled out or enormously filed out by
the candidates for enlistment.

files. In many cases. it was added,
men who have claimed no prior police
record are identified by the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation as having such
record The failure of a candidate
to state his previous arrests or police
record, or to make false statements, is
. very serious matter, and is regarded
as grounds for discharge for cause. it
was added
1t was said men who have police
records or have ever been arrested for
any reason, however trivial should so
state in their applications and If they
desire to enlist and the commanding
officer considers them to be suitable
candidates, a full statement of the cir
cumstances in regard to prior arrests
or conviction should be submitted by
the man concerned, together with any
evidence which he may be able to
furnish as to his subsequent creditable
reputation in his community.
The Navy Department has called to
the attention of Naval Reserve exam

many times action on recommends
tions for promotion are being held
