Referendum Men Is Asked
Need Seen For General
Rule to Govern All
Draft Boards

The lack of uniformity among
SeIective Service Boards in the
drafting of war workers, was criti-
cized this week by Jason Bacon,
president of the Elliott Manufac-
turing Company, Milford.
Mr.. Bacon felt, and he said that
it was the consensus of many, that
there is a need for a general ruling
that would govern all selective SER
vice boards i'm this matter.
Such ruling would give defense
plant operators and employees alike
a general idea on the likelihood of
their being called up for service.
