Registrants May Ask for Deferred .C1assificaiiOns

Selective Service registrar S now classified I-A-"available for service" who feel that they should be placed in a deferred classification should so notify their local board. The local board will then reopen their cases, if facts warrant, and reconsider in view of possible reclassification.
 Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of selective service, made that statement today and also stressed the legal obligation of all registrants to keep their local boards informed as to any change in their Selective service status or change of addreSs-regardless of whether or not they have reached the age of twenty-six, beyond which men are not liable for serv- ice under the present selective service act.
 "The act is very explicit" Gen. Hershey said, regarding the obli- gation of registrants to keep their local boards informed concerning change of address-Where they may be reached by mail, that is, and also any change in their sta tus as previously given to the To- cal board. Registrants are not re- lieved from this obligation after reaching their tWenty-six.h birth day. Failure to comply is a viola ton of the selective service act whether the registrant is over tWenty-six or under tWenty-six. .'
 Gen. Hershey said that regis trantl in Class IA who have req son to believe their classification should be changed are being urged to ask their local boards for reopening of their cases. This would apply particularly to those who have new employment or who find reluctance on the part of employers to hire men in Class IA, although he added that he had no reason to believe the re- luctance is in any way general.
 General Hershey. quoting from a letter sent to all state directors said that if the army is to be linn tied to its present strength, then obvoiusly additional personne, will be required for replacement purposes onyl, and there is the possibility that voluntary enlist ments stimulated by the selective service system will provide such replacements.
 "The existence of the selective service system, it must be recog- nized, has been contributing fac tor to the current results of the recruiting programs of the armed forces" General Hershey said.
 "The system must remain avail able and ready in the event tha, voluntary enlistments again be- come insufficient to maintain the man-power requirements of the armed forces at either their pres ent or greater strength. We must assume that the present sit uation is temporary situation which might be followed by other conditions requiring prompt re- sumption of inductions.
 Accordingly, our actions in the meanwhile must be such as will enable us to resume deliveries of
