be classified in 3-B."
1t further pointed out that this
didn't mean just bomber
plants, shipyards and the like
but activities which provide
food. clothing, shelter, health
safety and other requisites Of
our daily life"
The ga classification. il
noted, is for those with depend
ents but not engaged In essen
tial activities.
VITAL DISTINCTION
THE distinction is important
because, in reclassifying class 3
registrants the cases Of those
in ga must be considered and
exhausted before the cases OF
those in 3-B can be taken up
the notice said.
Continuing the discussion Of
misclassifications. the instruc.
tons cited as lone typical recent
case" that of "a newspaper re-
porter who was reclassified from
ga to IA"
He was unquestionably en-
titled to a 3-B classification be-
cause the publication of news
papers has been certified as an
activity contributing to the war
effort under occupational bull
letin No. 81" the instructions
said.
Had he been reclassified from
ga to 3-B in the first instance,
as he should have been, he would
not have been called for induc-
ton for some time to come"
There is an exception from the
ruling that any man with de-
pendents in an essential activity
should be in 3-B, and this Is men
whose jobs were listed February
2 as "nondeferrable" regardless
of dependents. Elevator oper-
ators, for example, are monde
ferrable.
Men who are individually es-
sential 60 into class 2 - it's PA
If their activity is considered
essential to support of the war
effort, and 2.B II their activity
is rated essential to war pro-
duction.
ORDER OF CALL
AS between men in class ga
and those in class 3-B. the or
der of call, according to General
Hershey, is as follows:
Il. Single men who have
collateral dependents but who
are not engaged in an essential
activity (class 3-A).
-. Single men who have COL
lateral dependents and who are
engaged in an essential activity
(class 3-B).
-. Men with wives only, and
who are not engaged in an es-
sential activity (class 3-A).
a. Men with wives only, but
who are engaged in an essential
activity (class 3-B).
IS. Men with wives and chill
dren or children alone, but who
are not engaged in an essential
activity (class 3-A).
IS. Men with wives and chill
dren or children alone who are
engaged in an essential activity
(class 3-B)."
Hershey, summarizing hi:
views on the Importance of the
job in determining deferment
declared it would be better tc
lower physical standards agar
and take men with dependents
rather than take necessary in
diiduals and disrupt essential
production of war supplies"

Round Up Italians

MADRID, Oct. 16.-Pierre Lavals
Evichy government is giving whole
hearted cooperation to the Ger
mans in rounding up Italians In
France, including some former Ital-
ian consuls, for labor in Germany
border reports said today.
The Gestapo and its Vichy police
counterpart were conducting thor
ough search throughout France for
all Italians and forcing them to
register. Able-bodied men, as well
as many women, were said 70 have
been sent to Germany.
(The Brazxaville radio in
French Equatorial Africa said
former French President Albert
Lebrun, who had been living In
Southern France ut the home Of
q son-in-law under Italian guard,
was taken August ~ to Lyon In q
car full Of German officers. This
broadcast, recorded by the Asso-
ciated Press, said Francois Pom
Get, former French Ambassador
to Berlin, also was reported to
have been arrested and the FAM
lily OF Gen. Henri Giraud has been
informed at Chateau Berse at st.
Romain.)
It is estimated that nearly $780,
600 Italians live in various parts of
France, more than half of whom
are longtime residents OF. that
country.
The border advices said that in
many cases, particularly in Southern
France, Italian families were elected
from farms they had worked for
generations and were herded to-
gether In special trains for farm
work in Germany while local Vichy-
ties disposed of the farms.
Italian consulates in all French
cities now are occupied by the Ger
mans, 1t was said. Former consuls
or consular employees who managed
to remain in the consulates did so
by pledging loyalty to the puppet
government Of Benito Mussolini. In
some cases they were retained only
as interpreters, and the others were
sent to Germany.
The reports said several thousand
italians in Southeastern France al
ready had gone to the two Savoie
departments, travelling by night and
hiding by day In French homes.
Some were said to have crossed the
Alpine frontier and joined units of
Premier Marshal Pietro Badoglios
army and the Milan workers still
resisting the Germans north of
Milan. Others were declared to
have joined French guerrilla bands
on the French side Of the Alps or
to have formed new all-Italian
guerrilla forces.
