ARMY TO DECIDE ON FURLOUGH REQUESTS

WASHINGTON, March 5 (U. P.). — Selective service headquarters|s said today furloughs would be granted draftees by the army and not by local draft boards in cases of undue hardship immediately after induction.

The war

department estimated that of 1,-

000,000 selective service registrants deferred for dependency, about 150,000 are suitable for officers’ training. Local boards have been empowered to accept applications from A registrants who wish to become officers and who are qualified fof 1-A classification, with ‘the exception of f dependency.
