Applications in Duplicate To guard against subversive ele ments gaining a foothold in the civil reserves, the county defense councils will ask volunteers if they are willing to bn fingerprinted. But the fingerprint will be required only from those who are assigned to duty. All applications for service will be filled out in duplicate.
