No agency excepting the local
board with which selective serv
ice registrants are registered has
any authority to promise or to
grant deferment, headquarters
of Jackson county local boards
1 and 2 stated today in a formal
announcement.
The statement was prompted
by asserted promises of defer
ment held out by certain com
mercial schools offering training
In defense work.
"It has come to the attention
of the local selective service
boards that the representatives
of certain schools training selec
tees for defense service are us
ing as an extra inducement to
the prospective student the
promise that they will secure
deferment for him if he enrolls
for the course with their school,"
tne statement said.
"Selective service headquart
ers want to make this definite
statement:
"1. The selective service act
does not permit of group defer
ments. "2. No agency excepting the
local board with which the selec
tee is registered has any author
ity to promise or grant defer
ment. "3. Selective service local
boards request all registrants to
contact their headquarters at
204 West Main street or the city
school superintendent's office In
Medford city hall before enroll
ing with any organization which
is promising to train selectees
for defense industry and to se
cure deferment for them so that
they may complete their training
course.
Statement from board head
quarters followed closely the is
suance of similar counsel from
E. H. Hedrick, city school super
intendent, who advised all
youths to investigate the many
defense courses being offered by
the government without charge
before signing up for any course
offered by private schools at
certain fees.

Washington, Aug. .26 -(JPy
The war department announced
today that Robert P. Patterson,
acting secretary of war, had ra
uced the prison term of John
Habinyak, Pennsylvania draftee
convicted by a military court
martial of Insubordination, from
10 to 3 years in prison.
The acting secretary also sus
I ended execution of Habinak's
dishonorable discharge until his
release from confinment at the
Fort Leavenworth, Kas., Diei-
plinary Barracks where he was
oidered confined.
The war department announ
ced that If Hablnyak's orison
conduct is good, he will be relea
sed In 30 months which is the
maximum period of service to
which trainees are liable under
the revised draft law.
Suspension of the dishonor
able discharge will make it pos-
sioie the department said, to re
store Habinyak to duty at any
lime with remission of the un
expired term of confinment
should his subsequent conduct
lustify additional clemency. He
.vouia be required, however, if
the emergency continues to com
plete his service with the army.
Habinyak's 10 year sentence
stirred criticism in congress be
cause of its severity, and the de
partment acted with unusual
speed in reviewing the court's
ction.
