the enlargement of local draft boards j
wherever necessary In order that some

Employers or dependents of regis
tered men who, for patriotic reasons,

prevent injustice . by making tne ex
emption claims for the men, it was
said today at the Provost Marshal-Gen-
erars office.
There is a form for such claims in
the Questionnaire, it was pointed out,
and the local boards will find their
duties more complicated if registrants
entitled to exemption do not claim It
or some Interested person does not
make the. claim in their behalf.
JUetalls in tne appointment or ad
visory committees to each of the dis
trict draft boards to assist the boards
passing on exemptions claimed on
occupational grounds were discussed
today at a conference between repre-
sentaives of the Provost Marshal-Gen
eral's office, the War Labor Policies
Board and the Department of Labor.

mittee.
