DRAFTEES GET 10-DAY NOTICE

Boards Adopt New Rule; Rejected Men Not to Be Replaced.

Marion County draft registrants will receive 10 days notice of induction before they are required to report at reception centers under a new regulation announced at the State Selective Service headquarters today. The notice requirement was one of three regulations made at a meeting of State draft directors and members of Marion County’s 15 local boards yesterday. Other new regulations eliminate replacements for rejected men after June 1 and simplify the procedure for transferring registrants for in-

duction when they are away from home.

Rules National in Scope

Personnel problems also were discussed. The new regulations placed into effect here were promulgated by the National Selective Service headquarters. It was also pointed out at the meeting that Army regulations now permit the induction of men who have been convicted of felonies in certain cases. Previously no felon was accepted for service. . Among those who attended the meeting were Lieut. Col. Robinson Hitchcock, State Selective Service director; Maj. Bayard S. Shumate, assistant director; Maj. Lytle J. Freehafer, mobilization head and Lieut. Col. John D. Friday, acting adjutant general and procurement officer.

LIBERAL CLAUSES ON DEFERMENTS LIKELY

WASHINGTON, May 14 (U. P.) — National Selective Service officials are drafting new regulations to provide for more liberal treatment of registrants claiming deferment on

dependency grounds, it was learned today. The

proposed new regulations

were described as a necessary sup-|: plement to proposals now before|: Congress for deferment of regis-|§

trants in the older age groups. When the final draft is completed and approved by the Selective Service Planning Council it will be submitted to the President. One of the most important changes would provide for automatic review by state Selective Service Headquarters before induction of all registrants claiming dependency, but who, nevertheless, are placed in the class immediately available for military training, officials said. This, they explained, was believed necessary because of “poor public relations” in many areas which tended to discourage appeals by registrants whose claims for deferment, because of dependents, were ignored by local boards. Numerous cases have come to the attention of National Selective Service Headquarters in which men entitled to deferment were unwilling to appeal for fear of being labeled as “‘unpatriotic.”

Loyalty, Not Education, Makes a Fighter,

Says Sergt. York in Attack on Draft Rules

JAMESTOWN, Tenn., May 14 (U. P.) —Alvin C. York lashed out today at a 1941 draft regulation that would have kept him out of action in '18—the recent requirement that a soldier has to have the equivalent of a fourth - grade education. Mr. York is now chairman of the Fentress County Draft Board —and a champion of education when it doesn’t concern a man’s right to : fight. With nothing better than a second grade education, x he managed to wipe out a Ger- Mr. York man machine-gun battalion singlehanded. “I just think,” Mr. York said, “that if a man is a loyal American citizen, he ought to be allowed to fight for his country regardless of his grade and education. “I'll bet if you checked over lists

of the boys who fought at King's

Mountain or with Andy Jackson at New Orleans you wouldn't find a fourth grade education.” Other “mountain folk” of the Tennessee and Kentucky hills and

ridges, State Selective Service officials reported, also are up in arms

.|about the new draft regulation— |but not to the point of a formal

protest or “feud” with draft of-

ficials. The ruddy-faced Sergeant, heavier by far than in his fighting

.|days of 1918, estimated the educa-

tional qualification would “knock

|out” at least 60 per cent “of the :|boys back in the mountains.”

“A lot of them quit early,” he said, remembering that he believed he did get through the second grade, “but a lot of 'em just didn’t go to school.” (However, he added, mountain school systems are about 40 per cent better now than they once were.) The Fentress County Draft Board, Mr, York said, will have to re-check its whole list to determine if its 1700 registrants “can pass a fourth grade test.” “That's too much trouble when

a man wants to volunteer and fight for his country,” he added. Mr. York’s oldest son, 20-year-old Alvin Jr., is too young for the draft and ineligible for enlistment as he has a three-wekes old son that “hasn't been named yet.”

Sergeant York was a conscientious objector when drafted during World War 1 but he retired to the mountains, mulled over the situation, and decided he could go to war. Since his army service, Mr. York, still one of the best shots “in the mountains,” has farmed and “done school work.” He founded the Alvin C. York Agricultural School in 1926 and still maintains interest in it even though the state now bears most of the expense.

‘SNOB’ ADVISER DIES

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 14 (U. P.).—Prof. Robert Emmons Rogers, 53, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who urged his students in the lush days of 1929 to “be a snob and marry the boss’ daughter,” died last night of a heart attack at his home.
