 Further Explains
 5. s. Requirements

Although deferred by law from actual military training. Selectiye Service registrants who are more than 28 years old must conform to orders from their local boards or be liable to penalties prescribed for de- linauents, John L. Mccormick. Ter itorial Director of Seleetive Service cautioned them today.
 While the amendment to the Sei eetive Training and Service Act of 1940 recently adopted by Congress precludes induction of men who were 28 years of age or older OH July l. 1941, these registrants must live up to the other obligations im- posed upon them by the Act, the Di- rector said.
 Questionnaires must be filed at the request of the registrants' local board, he declared. and any regis trant who fails to comply with such requests may be considered as a de- linQuent and be liable to fine or i'm prisonment, or both, under the pen atty clause of the Act.
 Although registrants who were 2S years of age or older on July 1, 1941, must fill out questionnaires, Director Mccormick said, when it becomes evident that they are de ferred because of age, they will be placed in the proper deferred clas- sification by their local boards.
 It is intended, he declared, that hereafter registrants who are defer red by reason of age will continue To be efassfned in the same manner as other registrants, except that they will be given no physical examina- ton, and except that those of such registrants who are being classified tor the first time and who are not classified into Glass ", Class III, or Class II will be classed in Class LII. Those of such registrants who are classified into Class l or Class WE before becoming entitled to de- ferment by reason of age, will be placed into Glass HI and Class " E-H respectively upon becoming en- titled to deferment by reason of age, Director Mccormick pointed out.

Chamber Of Commerce Seeks Permit For TrolIerS
 To Dispose Of Halibut

Wrangell Chamber of Commerce at its regular luncheon meeting Monday noon in the Civic Center voted to urge the International Fisheries Commission to permit troll lers to keep haIibut taken while trol- ling for salmon. A resolution pre- pared by the Home Industries com mittee F. G. Hanford, Chairman, and the special committee on the subject, headed by Mayor E. J. Wheeler, was adopted unanimously by the Chamber. It reads;
 "Inasmuch as there is a large number of halibut caught each year by the trollers which under the pre- sent regulations they are not allow ed to sell, and that great numbers are killed before taking them off the hooks, we recommend that trollers be allowed to sell and fish packers be allowed to purchase all halibut caught on trolling gear and not by jigging or set lines.
 "We believe that under the pres ent regulations there is a consider able waste of food fish that could be eliminated If the trOlleTs were allowed to sell their catch"
