Guthrie Attacks
S1.a.Year Men
AS 'Prejudiced'
Decisions frequently
Dictated by Personal
Interest, He Charges
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Robert R. Guthrie. who re-
signed last week as chief Of the
textile, clothing and leather goods
branch of the War Production
Board. told a congressional COM
mittee today that Frequently"
decisions of dollar-a-year men in
the w. P. B. were prejudiced by
their personal interests.
Mr.. Guthrie said he was sure at
heart" that he and Donald M. Mel
son, chairman of the w. p. B., see
eve to eye on the issue of all-our war
effort versus compromise"
II am confident that If he CNelson)
understood the degree to whcih his
insistence on all-out effort is i'm
peded in his organization he would
stand his ground against these forces
in exactly the same way that have
done" Mr.. Guthrie told a House
Military Affairs subcommittee.
Nelson May Be Called.
Chairman Faddis Of the committee
indicated other witnesses. possibly
including Mr. Nelson. would be
called during the inquiry into Mr.
Guthrie's resignation.
The specific reason for his resig-
nation, the former Paducah Ky)
department store operator testified,
was his inability to control his own
appointments and make his own de-
cisions and Mr.. Nelson's decision to
split his section to remove textiles.
Dollar-a-year men who retain
their private business connections
should not be kept in policy-making
positions, Mr.. Guthrie said, but
should be retained in advisory Ca
pacities II possible. Recently Mr..
Nelson announced that such an or
der had been issued.
Strain on Human Nature.
A dollar-a-year man himself, Mr..
Guthrie said it was "difiicult for
the best Of men to serve two mas
ters."
Many such men are willing to
make any adjustments. however
drastic. to enable their industries to
make 4 maximum contribution to
the war effort" he continued But
it is a dificult strain on human
nature"
His own private business connec-
tions, he explained. were severed
when he started his Government
work.

Roosevelt Sets
Registrdtionfor
Men n45to65
Designotes April n
For Recording Fourth
Draft Classification
By JOHN c. HENRY.
Earlier Story on Pare B-l.|


President Roosevelt late today
designated April q for registra-
tion of all men between the ages
Of IS and 64, inclusive.
Fourth registration under the
Selective Training and Service
Act of 1910. the April recording
was ordered by the President as
a step required to insure victory
final and complete over the enc
mics of the United States"
Specifically, the Presidents proc
lamation directs the registration OF
all males who are born on or after
April %. 1877. and on or before Feb
ruary l6, 1897. The registration is
to take place throughout conti-
mental United States and in the
territories of Alaska, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico.
The third registration covered
men through the age of a. Their
draft orders were drawn here Tues
day night.
The Selective Service Law allows
registration of all men between l8
and IS. Thus far. however. there
has been no registration of youths
under 20.
Hours Are Set.
The Presidents proclamation
specifies that the registration should
take place between the hours Of 7
am. and 9 pm, and urges that all
public and private employers re-
lease men long enough on registra-
tion day to enable them to carry out
this duty.
Selective service headquarters es-
Inmates that approximately l3000,-
600 will be recorded in the 1864
age bracket. Men in this group are
not at present eligible for induction
into the armed services, but their
conscription for assignment to other
lines of the war endeavor is possible.
The fourth registration will bring
approximately $1,000 more men
within selective service in the Dis
trict, local selective service officials
estimated.
Draft Board Opinion.
Meanwhile, a new opinion by the
National Draft Board OF Review
raised a likelihood of general de-
ferment for men whose wives are
expecting a child.
The opinion was given in the case
of a man placed by his local board
in class IA subject to duty. al
though he had married since his
registration and his wife had be-
come pregnant. A State appeals
board placed him in deferred class
ga, but the State director appealed
further to President Roosevelt.
The National Board Of Review,
which makes recommendations to
the Chief Executive, ruled that the
man appeared to have married to
escape the draft, but as Congress
thus far had failed to make pro-
vision for dependency of selectees,
he should be deferred for the time
being because of the prospective
additional dependent.
