SHOULD BE FILED PRECEDING CALL A spokesman for the selective service boards of Jackson county stated today that requests for occupational deferments by em ployers will not be considered after a registrant has received his call for Induction. He ex plained that employers should Insist that employees Inform them immediately upon being classified in class 1 or 1-A, or better yet as soon as the regis trant receives his questionnaire. "From the time a registrant receives his classification as 1-A, a 10-day period Is granted for the registrant to appeal or the employer to request a defer ment, the spokesman pointed out. "However, tljls does not apply in any manner to a reg istrant of the fourth registrar tion which Includes men from 45 to 65. It Is emphasized that not all occupations are defer able and that requests for defer ment in those occupations that are deferable should be made for key men only. This infor matlon is being passed on to the employers because some re- quests for occupational defer ments have been received after the registrant has received his call for induction."
