“Delinquency charges” against selective service registrants may be a short cut into the armed forces, or war work. Col. Robinson Hitchcock, state selective service director, today urged these “delinquents” to remove charges at their local boards by Nov. 1.

Approximately 100 men are reported monthly by Indiana draft boards to U. 8. attorneys for delinquency, Col. Hitchcock said. However, about 85 per cent of the cases are handled without prosecution, because the violators have become delinquént through failure to notify their boards of a change in address or status.
