Based on recent amendments to the selective service act, the statement was designed to guide local boards, Hershey said, but in no way altered the statutory ban on group deferments.'

The order In which local boards were instructed to con sider registrants for induction was: (1) single men with no dependents; (2) single men with dependents, but not contribut ing to the war effort; (3) single men with dependents, and who contribute to the war effort; (4) married men. not enraged in the war effort; but living with-their wires; . 5) married men engaged in the war effort and living with their wives: (6) married men, not engaged in the war effort, living with wife and children, or children only; and (7) married men, en gaged in the war effort, and living with wife and children, or children only. t .. . 1 Hi Bombers Fleet in Attacks Tobruk Raided; Matruh Shelled As Allies Strike By EDWARD KENNEDY CAIRO, July lS--Heavy ; four-motored bombers of the iRAF Tnade a ''bomb a minute' raid on axis-held Tobruk Sun day night in a. savage attack which lasted three hours, , RAF headquarters , announced Mon- day-rrght.'
