the draft boards in every county will
be chosen by group predominant
ly Democratic. The dominant party
will have at least two representatives
on every thrcc-member selective
group and only in rare counties will
there be even one Republican men,
ber-this because all county school
superintendent and chairmen of
election boards are Democrats, the
laws being framed to that end.
That leaves only the court clerk
who can possibly be a Republican,
and there are less than a dozen coun-
ties in which the C. o. P. has the
clcrkship.
In theory the matter of "selective
service" is wholly non-partisan and
at this stage of the matter there is
no reason to assume that the North
Carolina boards will be picked in
any other manner, despite the rather
broad invitation implicit in the
method of naming them.
AS for the boards which will be
chosen by the selective groups, there
will be ut least one for each county.
The tentative Federal regulations
governing draft boards call for APP
pointment of one for every 10000 of
population, with discretionary power
in case of fractions above multiples
of this quota.
Thus there will be a board for
every county with less than 10000;
it will be discretionary whether
there will be one or two boards in
counties of between 10000 and Co.
900 and whether there shall be two
or three in counties between $4,000
and 10000 and so on.
Each local board will consist of
three members. There will be an eX-
aiming physician for each county,
at least, probably one for each board;
but there will not necessary be a
physician as a member of any board.
At the head of the whole selective
Adjutant General j. Van B. Nets,
who was named yesterday by the
governor. He will function as Fed
eral official and all his aides who
will become part of the draft struc-
ture will be indicted into Federal
service.
He has been authorized to employ
the necessary civilian help-steno-
graphers, typists, etc. These posts
will provide no political patronage
for state Democratic leaders as all
this personnel will have to be select
ed from the Federal civil service lists,
Governor Hoey said.
Makeup of the local draft boards
may depend largely upon final &C
ton upon the matter of paying their
members. This angle, too, is likely to
have considerable to do with whether
or not politics will enter largely into
the selections. 1t is obvious that if
the local boards are to serve with
out any compensation, then member
ship will not be so eagerly sought
by deserving Democrats. Tenta
tive Federal regulations indicate that
there will be no compensation; but
this has not been fully decided.
All members of the local draft
board will be men. Governor Hocy,
discussing this phase, said: They're
not drafting women"

worker.
In rebuttal of any suggestion that
politics will have anything to do with
the selections made by these men
Governor Hoey said that he is Civ
ing strict, even stern, instructions
that there be no thought of politics
in choosing the local draft boards.
He also pointed out that none OF
the clerks are up for election this
fall and that, along with the school
superintendent and the election
board chairmen, they are perhaps as
familiar with their counties as any
men who can be found.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that
