View. To Run Down Draft Slackers Portland, Ore., June 20-FederaI authorities are getting ready to in stitute b merciless campaign to run down and punish a new form of draft slacker. This new slacker is the draft registrant who was grant ed deferred classification at the time of his registration, but whose status since has so changed that he no longer is entitled to exemption, yet who remains silent about this change in the hope it will be over looked. There are estimated to be . hun dreds of such cases in Oregon, and thousands of them in the United States. Suspicion particularly has been directed against a great many of , the deferred classifications granted for industrial reasons. It now appears that the status of ma ny of these men is not the same as when they were granted deferred classification. Yet they have fail ed to notify their Local Boards and continue to enjoy exemption from military service. In some cases, also, the original classification was not justified. ; , Many cases where deferred clas sification was granted for dependen cy also have changed in status, but the registrant has not notified his local board. , With the time at hand' when the need for man power is so urgent that every available man must e! ther "work or fight." and when lower classifications are to be re vised m order to make more men Fa'rview Notes . The Germans of Fairview have discontinued the , teaching and preaching of the German language for the duration of the war.
