|ClASS 1-B WILL | BE ELM MATED | UNDER NEW RULE
Redistribution of Regis. franfs to Be CompIef-
 ed by January i

Ellm1natlOn or CLASS l-b, Jnt Selective Service designation for registrants considered fit for linn tied military service only, began August 20 it was announced by Ma tional Headquarters, Selective Ser vice System. Hereafter all regist- rants who are not totally disqual- flied will be reclassified in Class IA and the Army will decide, after induction, on their individual as- signment to full or limited military service. Registrants found to be unsuited for any military service will be placed in Class IV-F.
 Instructing local boards on the reclassification of limited service men who had been placed in Class 1-B, which will be started through out the country on September 1, National Headquarters stressed that not to exceed one-fourth of the present Class 1-B men in each local board area may be reclassified each month. It is expected that the reclassification will be completed by January 1.
 Reexaminations
 In the reclassification of Class 1-B registrants, where the individ- ual is not deferred for reasons other than physical, he will be re- examined by the local board ex- amining physician to determine whether he has any obviously dis qualifying defects which would pre- vent him from rendering any mil itary service. If he has none he will be sent to the Army induction sta- tion on the appropriate call.
 Reclassification procedure re- quires that local boards place reg istrants not believed totally dis qualified for military service in Class IA pending examination at Army induction stations. Those men who are obviously physically dis qualified will be given the Class IV-F classification, as will those who are rejected by the army.
 The Selective Service action fol- lowed closely the recent decision of the War Department to induct men with minor physical defects. Future calls for selectees will be for Class IA men only. Men, hav- ing minor, but not disqualifying de- fects, will be forwarded to Army induction stations along with those having no known defects. The inducted men will be assigned by the Army to general or limited mil itary service according to their physical qualifications.
 Conscientious Objectors
 Conscientious objectors who here tofore had been classified in Class 1-B-O, if fit for limited service in noncombatant units, or in Class IV-E-LS, if fit for limited service in civilian work camps, now will be classified Class LAO if fit for noncombatant military service, or in Class I'VE if fit for induction into work camps. Those physically unfit will be classified in Class IV-F.
 Instructing local boards to re- classify limited service registrants, National Headquarters cautioned that full consideration must be given to Selective Service policies deferments for dependency, family relationship and occupation. While limited service registrants were not considered by their local boards to have any basis for dependency or occupational classification at the time they were originally classified, National Headquarters pointed out that in some instances their status may have been changed.

Mccormack Urges Speed
On Hunter Exemption Bill

House Majority Leader McCor-
mack declared today that the bill
introduced Saturday by Representa-
tive Hunter of Ohio, chairman of
the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of
the House District Committee, to
exempt religious, charitable and
educational institutions from taxa
ton, should be promptly enacted.
1T is surprising to me to note
some Of the religious. charitable and
educational properties that have
been placed on the tax rolls" said
Mr.. Mccormack For years these
have been exempt and suddenly a
survey is made and they are placed
on the rolls. If, as is claimed. the
existing law for the District does not
exempt them, although they have
always heretofore been exempt, the
law should be changed to make it
clear that Congress never intended
this kind of property to be subject
to taxation.
1T is my opinion that a limited
construction has been placed upon
the existing law. However, rather
than subject these fine institutions
to lengthy and expensive legal pro-
ceedings, the law should be changed
as proposed by Representative Hun
ter, and the unsatisfactory situation
that has developed should be ad-
justed.
Il am sure the District Commits
sioners, themselves, as well as men,
bers OF the District Survey Board
would like to see the present law
changed and clarified"
