Catholics Urged 10 Fight
Intolerance in America
BY the Associated Press.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 13.-G
Howland Shaw, Assistant Secretary
of State and president of the Ma
tional Conference of Catholic Chari-
ties, said tonight that Catholicism
is a revolutionary, dynamic force"
and called on Catholics to make a
determined fight against intolerance
Suggesting greater cooperation
between Catholics and non-Catho-
lies, Mr.. Shaw declared in an ad-
dress at the conferences 29th meet
ing:
One of the great problems arising
out Of the war will be liquidation OF
hatreds and bitterness which it has
engendered. AS Catholics, our part
in the solution of that problem must
at least be determined fight against
any and every movement of in
tolerance IN our own country against
any movement which seeks to deny
to any individual or to any group
the right to contribute to society the
best of which that individual or that
group is capable"
Any compromise on the treatment
OF racial minorities ''in our Amer
ican democracy would be disastrous

Heretofore. registrants could not
be deferred for dependency unless
their selection was not imminent at
the time the dependency was ac-
quired.
Hardship cases are defined as
those in which induction of the
registrant would result in extreme
hardship or privation to depend

bona fide home.
When the new regulations be-
come effective. local boards will be-

3-A category as revised. Some will
be placed in la. others in PA. 2-B

tirely upon the individual circum-
stances. Classes &C and sc are
for essential farmers.
Elimination of the BIB category
virtually means that from now on,
men will not be deferred because
of their occupation unless their
own particular job is so vital that
the registrant cannot be imme-
diately replaced. In such cases,
the registrant would be entitled to
