‘Log' Shows How Selectee Avoids Induction 18 Months Committee Lists Multiplicity of Appeals for U. S. Employe Seeking Necessary-Man Status The draft “log” of a single regis trant who is yet to be inducted into the service was cited by the House Military Affairs Committee yester day as evidence of "the ability of some registrants to avoid induction for a long period of time through the media of appeal upon appeal.” In its report to the House the committee identified the registrant only as an employe in the personnel director’s office of the Labor De partment who has been seeking de ferment for more than a year as a necessary man. The “log” follows: ’ 1941. October 2—Registrant was placed in Class 1-H (temporary classifica tion for men over 28, abandoned after Pearl Harbor). 1942.

Twenty drivers learned this recently when they were called into court. It is useless even for the driver to plead that the excess collection rep resents a tip, the court declared. 79 District Selectees To Report Tomorrow Were Inducted April 10; 51 Will Go Into Aripy Seventy-nine District men who were inducted into the armed forces April 10 will report for active duty tomorrow.
