ICounseIors Named
On Credit Problems
Old. c. SeIectees
W. E. Richardson Heads
Committee; Provision
BY Congress Cited

A special committee Of associate
members of the Registrars Ad-
visory Board was appointed today
to counsel selectees regarding in
stallment payment adjustments on
personal property and real estate
when they are called to military
service.
The move is an outgrowth of
numerous appeals for advice by
selectees faced with a year in the
Army and in a quandary over how
to take care of periodic payments
particularly on automobiles and in
surance.
Richardson Chairman.
The Registrants' Advisory Board,
headed by Spencer Gordon, APP
pointed the following TO the special
committee:
William E. Richardson, an attor-
ney with Offices in the Woodward
Building. chairman.
William R. Lichtenberg, attorney,
National Press Building.
John K. Althaus, secretary-treas-
urer of the Retail Credit Men
Associa ton, 1921 G street NV.
A. Burks Summers of General
Credit. Inc, Hill Building.
Arthur j. Hilland, attorney, Shore
ham Building.
c. F. Burton. president of the
City Bank
Donald R. Ernst. auditor and con-
troller of L. P. Steuart, Inc, l440
P street NV.
The purpose of this committee, .
Ensign Edward j. Clarke, member
of the Selective service executive staff
explained. will be to see that reg
istrants called on for military serv-
ice are advised of the provisions
Congress has made for their protec-
ton, particularly in regard to leases
and installment purchases of per-
sonal property and real estate IN
volying future payments. The law
affords an opportunity for equitable
adjustments which the public inter
est requires to be carried out in
fairness to those indicted into the
service as well as to their creditors
1t will be the duty of this COM
mittee to see that these provisions
of the act are enforced"
Act Provisions Outlined.
The law to which Ensign Clarke
referred is the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act of 1910. Important
specific general provisions of the
act include:
l. No default judgment can be
obtained against any man Of mill
tary age unless the court first is in
formed by affidavit of his military
status. The penalty prescribed for
making a false affidavit is imprison-
ment for one wear or fine of not
more than 81 000-or both.
2. Generally, no judgment can be
collected against any man in mill
tary service unless a bond is posted
to indemnify him should the judg-
ment be reversed after he has fin
ished military service.
g. The court may extend the
time for payment of a judgment not
exceeding three months after COM
pletion of military service, or may
arrange for its payment in INSTALL
ments over longer period.
4. No man in military service
may be sued unless he is represented
in court. If he is not represented
by his own attorney, the court will
appoint an attorney to act for him
but he is not bound by the action
of an attorney so appointed.
An elaboration of these general
provisions will be given in the future
to selectees who may apply to the
special committee appointed today
for assistance.
