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
