REGISTR RANTS
ENTITLED
TO APPEAL

e. M. Birely, state director of selec
tive service stated today that every
registrant is entitled to appeal from
any classification by his local board
and no one has the right to deny him
that privilege.
In all cases local boards and gov
] eminent appeal agents must make
every effort to insure protection of
the registrant's right of appeal re-
| CARELESS of whether or not they think
the appeal is justified.
Any registrant who is dissatisfied
with determination of his local
board may appeal the decision to the
board of appeals and no one has legal
power to interfere with. his efforts to
get review of his case.
Citing Selective Service Regula-
lions relating to appeals, the director
pointed out that a registrant, any per-
son who claims to be dependent of
registrant, or any person who has
filed written evidence of the occupa-
tional necessity of the registrant, may
appeal from any local board classifi-
cation.
The regulations also provide that
appeals may be taken by a govern
ment appeal agent for his local board
area, a State Director of Selective
Service for any local board area in
his State, and the Director of Selec-
tive Service.
Pointing out that the registrant or
his dependents must appeal within
10 days after mailing of the regis
trant's notice of classification Gun
less the time is extended), the Direc-
tor outlined the provision of the reg
ulations on how an appeal is taken
as follows:
ANY person entitled to do so may
appeal in either of the following
ways:
81. By filing with the local board
a written notice of appeal. Such
notice need not be in any particular
form but must state the name of the
registrant and the name and ident-
ity of the person appealing so as to
show the right of appeal.
90. By signing the Appeal to Board
of Appeal on the QUESTIONABLE
(Form 40)."
The person appealing may attach
to his notice of appeal, or to his ques-
a statement specifying the
respects in which he believes the To-
cal board erred; may direct attention
% any information in the registrant's |
lie which he believes the local board
las failed to consider or give suffi-
Gent weight; and may set out in full
any evidence which was offered to
he local board and which the local
BOARD failed or refused to include in
he registrant's file, Director Birely
However, neither registrants nor
representatives of the system are per
nitted to appear before boards of
lppeal.

disturbed about him. They fear that
some clever nazi gentlemen" have
got him in tow and are leading him,
mentally, to some very strange places.
Probably, they do not understand
Wheeler, to begin with.
To understand Wheeler, it must be
borne in mind that he is man whose
every action is dictated by an over
powering passion to become President
OF these United States-and that to
attain this ambition he does not hest
tate to resort to opportunism of the
rankest sort. Added to this is a
bitterness which comes from frustra-
ton. They say also that Wheeler's
eyes are very, very clean, figurative-
ly as we'll as literally.
Let's look at Wheeler record OF
opportunisml
The lanky Montanan started out as
one of FDR's strongest boosters. He
says that he and the late Louisiana
Kingfish, Huey Long, were the ones
responsible for FDR's nomination in
1892 But Wheeler didn't stay put as
Roosevelt's friend When he thought
that his best chances of becoming
President lay in fighting the new
deal, he went out after the front page
headlines by attacking Roosevelt's
plan of wrestling cntrol of the Su-
preme Court from the reactionaries.
For several years thereafter, Wheeler
continued to make Page l by con-
slant and bitter attacks on the man
in the White House. Obviously, it
was the best way of keeping in the
imelight.
