PAY FOR DRAFT BOARD CHANGED INSTEAD OF $1 I'KK HOI K, KATK Wll.li UK HO CENTS FOR EACH MAN CLASSIFIED IMT HASIS TIIOIGIIT MORE ECONOMICAL. I'OHTI.ANI), Or., Jun. 14. A sweeping change In I he method of compensating members of local draft, hoards for their work In connection with the selective service law bus Just been ordered by the provost marshal geuerul ul Washington. Instead of lining puild fur their work at the rate of $1 per hour, as has been the cuse, they are to he paid on a unit basis. That Is, at a certain specified rate for every man to whom a questionnaire has been sent by the hoard and win, no final classification has been made. Thirty cents per man classified for each board has been fixed as the rate of compensation. In ordering this chango In the method of compensation, the provost marshal-general hna emphasized par ticularly tho fact that many board members, and In many cases entire boards, are glvlttg their services to the government without any compen sation whatsoever. To these patriotic officials tho gov ernment has expressed Its deep ap preciation of their services. Hut fortunately, it is explained. other board members have turned In claims that aro felt to he extrava gant. So high arc these claims In the aggregate that they total more money than Congress could he expected to appropriate, or the people to approve, for thut purpose. Tho decision to change tho method of compensation by placing it on a flat unit basla of 30 cents per man chiHHlfJcd for each board was largely Influenced, the provost marshal-gen eral explains, by the urgent sugges tions of many board members them selves who fojt keenly the erroneous position In which they were placed by the heavy clalma of other board members. Any board member who desires to fflve his aervlces to the government may atill do so under the new regula tion. Furthermore, It Is provided that any board may, by unanimous vote, arrange that one member, or two mombcra of the board, may re ceive more than 25 cents per classl fled man, or If only one member Is to bo compensated, ho shall not re ceive moro than 15 cents per man classified.
