by the Liberty Cab company, i
stand will be established, on Com
merce street next to the Black Kat

No request for deferment of
Selective Service registrant from
military training will be consider-
ed until is local board has sent
questionnaire to him. General J.
Watt Page, State Director of Se-
lective Service, declared today. He
also empasized that a registrant
can be deferred only by his local
board and that no other group or
person in the Selective Service Sys
tern has jurisdiction until the local
board has classified him.
Employers and dependents of
prospective trainees who are sub-
mitting pleas for deferments in ad-
vance of the time when they come
up for classification by their local
boards, Director Page-said, “are
merely complicating the work of
local boards without service to the
interested parties.”
Under Selective Service Regula-
tions, local boards must classify
registrants according to their order
numbers, he pointed out, and said
that when the time comes for the
classification of a registrant, he.
his employer, and his dependents
must be given every opportunity to
substantiate deferment claims. Any
information submitted before a reg-
istrant receives his questionnaire
from his local draft board, he add-
ed, probably would become obsolete
and valueless.
Employers in doubt as to the like-
lihood of their employees being call-
ed for Selective Service training
should communicate with Col.
Dwight Horton or Major Janies B.
Arthur, who will give them all pos-
sible information, Director Page
said.
