INDUCTION OF REGI5IRANTS
 TO BE UNIFORM
Boards Having Most Single Men 10 Garry Heay-
 jest Load

malntalnlng as mucn unHOrml,H in inducting types of registrants as is possible under the autonomous provisions of the Selective Train ing and Service Act, Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Director of Se- lective Service, has instructed all State Directors to apportion calls for inductees from their States among their local boards so that. in so far as is feasible, no board will be calling one type of regis trant with dependents substantially in advance of the other boards.
 State Directors should continue to place calls on their local boards, General Hershey stated, so as to place the heaviest load right now, on boards having the most single men, or men with collaterial de- pendents only.
 Classification Deadline
 General Hershey's memorandum to State Directors, also directs all local boards to complete on or be- fore October Is, 1922, the initial classification of all registrants H. able for military service. This schedule must be met. the mem orandum emphasizes, because the serious military situation requires that the Selective Service System prepare to fill calls during the coming year which will be equal to or in excess of the monthly calls made in August, September and October of this year"
 The procedure outlined by his memorandum, General Hershey said, will tend to level off induc- tions with the ultimate objective of calling men from the small town and from the city on an approxi- mately uniform basis. He esti- mated that this leveling of process might require several months to ac- complish because of the time re- quired to process registrants and accord them full rights of appeal
 Pointing out that they now may give immediate consideration to al- lowances payable under the Service mems Dependents Allowance Act ot 1942, General Hershey also directs local boards to proceed at once with the reconsideration of tht classification of Class III-A ane Class III-B registrants who hayt collateral dependents. Class III-E registrants, in addition to having dependents, must be engaged il work essential to the war effort Registrants with collateral depend. ents only are to be inducted ahead of men who maintain bona fid' family homes.
 Collateral Dependents
 T Collateral dependents, as the. are defined in previous memor, andum are: Wives or children (witf whom the registrant does not main tain a bona fide family relation ship in his home); parents, bro thers, sisters, grandparents, grand children, divorced wives, person under Is years of age whose sup port has been assumed in goo< faith, or persons of any age physi cally or mentally handicapped whose support has been assumed il good faith.
 As soon as local boards have re considered the classification of al registrants having collateral de lpendents, and have notified tn State Director of that fact, tn current memorandum instructs tha they then should reopen and re consider the classification of al registrants who have wives (bu no children) with whom they main tain a bona fide family relation ship in their homes. It is stressed however, that the marriage mus have taken place before Decembe I8, 1941, or at time when seIec. tion was not imminent.
 Registrants having wives ant children, or children with whom they maintain bona fide home and who were married before Dec ember 8, 1941, and at time wher selection was not imminent, shal not be placed in Class IA (avail able for induction) until sucl action is authorized by the Ma tional Headquarters, General Her shey emphasized
