Druftee and Veteran Guide
By Mai. Thomas M. NioI =

ferred? One year or less. g. Men
involved IN study research or medi-
cal, scientific or other endeavors
considered necessary to the ma
tional health, safety or interest. In
other words, just like the part of
the law quoted above. The differ
ence is, the law says the President
is authorized" The new regula-
ton says that he actually has gone
ahead and done it.
A dependent. says selective serv-
ice, is any of the following: A wife,
a divorced wife, child, a parent, a
grandparent, brother or a sister:
almost any person who depends for
his living on the registrant.
That does not mean for a second
that all brothers and sisters, or all
mothers and fathers are automatic
ally dependents. 1t just means that
a brother and sister and mother
and father may be a dependent .
if. in fact, that person depends for
his or her living on the registrant.
Just thinking about it makes it
clear that any married registrant is
going to be deferred. Because al
most every wife I know depends to
a certain extent for her bread and
butter on her husband, but that
would not necessarily be true of
any brother and sister or mother
and father.
No doubt registrants seeking de-
ferment for dependency reasons will
have to give conclusive proof that
the dependent" really is dependent.
There are going to be constant
changes in the deferment regula-
tions. For example, farmers are
now deferred. But if the man
power shortage starts pinching too
hard, selective service may have to
draft some farmers. In that case,
the regulations will change.
It's going to take time for the
Guide" to list all deferments. Have
patience. 1t will. as soon as space
allows.

Say that you've registered for the
draft and you've gotten your ques.
tionnaire and sent it back. O1
course, you haven't yet, but soon yoU
will have.
The all-important question now
is, will I be deferred as an essen
tial workers, or as a married man
or as man supporting his mother?
just what will defer me?
Everybody in that 19-to-25 bracket
is itching for the word on defer
ment. A few days ago august 20)
selective service came up with some
important answers.
The draft law itself makes GER
tain blanket deferments and exemp-
tions. 1t says, for instance, that
veterans are automatically exempt
if they served 80 days in the shoot
ing war" December 7. 1941, to Sep
tember 2, 1945). And it says that
other veterans, who didn't serve
those 80 days, are exempt if they
put in at least II months with the
armed forces between September 16
1910, and June "a, 1948 unless
Congress should declare a national
emergency.
Then it goes on to exempt "regu-
lar or duly ordained ministers OF
religion" and several other groups
After that comes the question mark
- The President is authorized,
the law says, Ito provide for the
deferment of persons whose en-
ployment in industry, agriculture
or other occupations, or whose ac-
tivities in study, research or other
endeavors is found to be necessary
to the maintenance of the national
health, safety or interest"
1t adds that the President may
also defer men with dependents.
The President said on August 2C
that the following definitely will be
deferred: l. Any registrant who has
a dependent. 2. Farm workers, OF
men engaged In agricultural occu-
pations. How long are they de-

probably would be armed, that he
was a dangerous criminal, and that
they were to take no chances with

May 9 Milton had drawn a gun on
two Montgomery County policemen
when they tried to question him
near another drugstore.

tated a moment, then came on
rapidly toward the two policemen

revolver once and Pvt. Gabrys, who
was kneeling behind him, fired once
also. Milton fell backward out of

Strong Flint
Nine TodaY

The University of Toledo's
baseball team, victorious in four
of its five games, will meet the
Flint Arrows of the Class A Cen
trail League today and Saturday
at Swayne Field. These games
are free to the public. Today's
tilt will start at 2 p. m. while
tomorrow's contest will get un-
der way at l p. m.
Flint will bring to Toledo a
team capable of defeating any
college nine in the country and
will be completing spring exhi-
bition G me before starting
league play in May. The Arrows
are a farm club of the Detroit
Tigers.
Many members of this Flint
team will no doubt be south with
Toledo next season since Detroit
will take over the Mud Hens next
season and Class A baseball is
just a hop, skip and jump from
the American Association.
Coach Dave Connolly of the
Rockets really has his work cut
out for him this time and will
call on his two aces, Jack Uefty)
M hnen and speedballer Joe

and hitting one for three. Out
