Leniency Is Stressed.
Utmost leniency in classification
of registrants was emphasized last
night at a dinner meeting of chief
clerks of the 25 local draft boards
in the District.
Maj. Donald T. Winder of the Ma.
tional Selective Service legal staff
said that at least for the present
when there exists any doubt as to
proper classification, decisions should
be made in favor of the registrants.
"The country is not now hungry for
manpower," he said. IF the need
arises, we can always reclassify
them"
Likewise, DR.. Clarence A. Dykstra,
national selective service director,
urged board officials to make classi-
fications that would least disturb the
family group. He also warned
against improper classification of
men employed in key posts in indus
tries vital to the Nations defense.
Others at the speakers table, in
cluding Chairman May of the House
Military Affairs Committee, dis
cussed briefly various national
aspects of the Selective Service Act
and praised its administration.
William E. Leahy, chairman of
the Board of Appeals in the Dis
trict, complimented local boards on
their classiflcations. pointing out
that less than 10 per cent of the
boards decisions had been appealed
and only about 10 per cent of these
appeals had warranted modification
of original decisions.
