Classification
 Of Draftees Is Local Problem

Any matter pertaining 10 the classification of a Selective Ser vice registrant must be taken up directly with the local board with which he is registered, Gov ernor Ernest Gruening advised registrants, their dependents and employers today.
 Communications on this sub ject addressed to Territorial, State, or National Selective Ser vice headquarters must be refer red to the proper local boards, he said, because only local boards can act upon the cases of indiv- idual registrants until they have been classified and appeal from a classification must be made thru the local board of the registrant. The Governor said:
 Any person entitled to appeal the classification of a registrant = the registrant himself, any per son who claims to be a depend ent, or any person who has filed written evidence of the occupa- tional necessity of the registrant may do so within ten days af- ter the registrant's notice of classification was mailed, unless the local board has extended that time. The appeal may be made in either of the following ways:
 Methods of Appeal
 By fling with the local board a written notice of appeal. Such notice need not be in any set form, but it must state the name of the registrant and the name and identity of the appellant to show he has the right to appeal.
 By signing the Appeal to Board of Appeal on the regis trant's questionnare (DSS Form 40)"
 -z!seqdu9 Su!u9nID IouI9AoD ed the provision of .Selective Ser vice Regulations that the person who makes an appeal may attach to his notice of appeal, Or to the registrants questionnaire, a state ment specifying wherein he be- lieves the local board has been in error; that he may point out any information in the regis trant's file which he believes has been passed over without proper consideration, and restate in full any data which the local board has failed or refused to include in the registrant's file.
 To Protect Registrants
 "Selective Service Regula- tions," the Governor said, "have been drafted to give every reg istrant the fullest protection con- templated by the basic principle of the law which is that he shall be judged by his neighbors.
 ''The administration of Selec- tie Service is thoroughly decen- tralized by law and by the reg u ation. The local board has pri-

Current Comments From Washington

Congress is said to have pro- gressed somewhat beyond the rough draft stage regarding the price control legislation suggest. ed by MT. Roosevelt. The salient points are that the President may be given power to deter mine a commodity price ceiling, founded on average prices for the year ending June 30, 1941, and to make such adjustments as circumstances require. Rents may be controlled. Buyers who learn that they have been charg ed more than the maximum, will have a redress by way of damag es. A tribunal will be set up to handle all appeals from the the Presidents rulings. Wages paid are an important factor in cost of production, and conse- quently in prices. Therein, per haps, lies the hardest nut that both the White House and Cap itol Hill will have to crack.
 The poet Goldsmith was so kindhearted that he pawned a borrowed coat. gave the money to a friend who was in trouble, and then found himself unable to raise funds to get the garment out of hook. The United States is not quite so accommodating and thoughtless as MT. Goldsmith, but she has shipped iron and steel scraps abroad until, accord ing 10 President Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Company, there is no use in building more fur naces when there is not enough stock to run them The hour may come when horse shoe pitchers will have to cast toward the col lectcr's cart, rather than in the direction of the peg.
 One must admit that the Nazi scheme of drawing the attention of the United States away from European affairs and toward Japan, has been attended with some measure of success. It would be nasty to presume. however, that the bombing of the American gunboat Tutuila was a deliberate Japanese con tribution to German plans. In view of an apology and an offer of idemnity, the incident may be considered, for the present and perhaps permanently as being closed. Giving the Japanese ample credit for a desire to do this country no wrong, it is like ly that the sharp economic clamp lately applied by the President caused Nippon to think that quick conciliatory action in the gunboat bombing was in order.

l648, at the close of a general strife at arms that had lasted 30 years? The battles of the Thirty
 Yeas War have passed out of mind and few have any interest n them. The contest is mention cd simply because, in the treaty that concluded it, the independ ence of Switzerland was ack- nowledged. The Swiss are cele- the aniversay in a week long Fourth of July, so to speak.
The Nome nugget., 1941-08-25

With at least three languages spoken in Switzerland, and in spite of other matters that are supposed to cause internal troubles, the Swiss have main- tained their national integrity for long time. Napoleon broke through it for a short season. Hitler and Napoleon have been so frequently compared of late that nothing need be said on that subject. This year the Swiss are cheering and rejoicing in their liberty. He would be a wise man who could predict what they will be doing a twelve month hence.
 Just now, the Swiss and every one else have their eyes on Rus sia. There, the fighting is of the old style prize ring sort, in which the contenders stood toe to toe and kept at it until one had enough. In addition to a de- sire for immediate victory, Rus sian resistance is prompted by the hope that the Germans may be held off until bad weather comes.
