until such registrants have received
questionnaires from the local boards.
Each employer will have five days
after the QUESTIONABLE is mailed in
which to file deferment request. The
Director estimates that no question
naires will be sent to registrants until
November 7th. Questionnaires will be
sent to the registrants in the order in
which their numbers are drawn in the
national lottery in Washington on
October 29th. In no case will defer
ment request be considered until the
registrant's QUESTIONABLE has been
completed and returned to the local
board.
Because local boards are given the
responsibility of deciding which men
should be deferred from training be-
cause of their civilian jobs, State
Advisors on Occupational Deferments
have been appointed for all States and
are now located in the respective State
Headquarters of the Selective Service
System.
Each State Advisor will act as a
clearing house for all information per-
! tanning to the economic situation with
| in his State with particular regard to
the need of industry, agriculture, or
business, and other activities, for the
deferment of certain individuals en-
gaged therein. These State Advisors
will maintain constant contact with
| local representatives from labor, in
dustry, and agriculture in each Appeal
Board Area.
Thus, each Local Board and Appeal
Board will have promptly available to
it accurate and complete information
regarding the existing condition of
labor supply and demand of business
agriculture, manufacturing, mining
transportation, and other industry in
each section of its State.
