More Care Urged In Filling

such cases In order to correct the
errors or supply the missing in
formation. This means not only
Inconvenience to the person called
in, but increases the expense and
the time required for performance
of this occupational inventory"
Questionnaires have been or are
being sent to all men who regis
tered with the Selective Service
System, so that eventually the gov
ernment will have a complete in
ventory of all its manpower be-
tween the ages of 18 and Ga.
Specifically, the data collected
will be used for three principal
purposes - first, to replace work
ers now deferred from military
service on occupational grounds
whenever possible with vocational
trainees or other qualified per-
sons who because of age, sex or
other reasons are not suitable for
military service; second, to speed
up war production by promoting
the transfer of workers from non
essential to essential work; third,
to assist the Selective Service in
deciding who shall be inducted in
to the armed forces and which men
are more urgently needed in war
production.
