WILL BE NO FAVORITISM
All Must Give Names Lit Retaliation
Soon to Begin.
Washington, May If).?To dispose
of any four that county and city reg
istration boards will exercise favorit
ism in enrolling soldiei>? under the
selective" draft act, Provost Marshal l
General Crowder issued a statement |
tonight declaring such practices would J
he virtually impossible because of the
explicit terms in which the act is
drawn. He warned registration otfi- ?
cials that favoritism easily coiihl be
detected and would be punished with
heavy penalties. .
"Every precaution," said the state
ment. "will be taken to make it cer
tain that the registration will be con-,
ducted with exact Justice. !
"The law is sj>eclfle and allows no
latitude to the boards, either in the
matter of registration or in the later
matter of exemption from service. In
fart, the law Is self-executing. Every
man wthin the age limits fixed by
the selective service act must register
and the penalty of the law for evasion
of registration will fall not only on
the man who fails to appear" but on
any member of a registration board
who may be shown to be in collusion
with the person who attempts to es
cape his duty.
"Furtho*- than this, the registratfoir
boards will never act as exemption
boards except in certain specific cases,
such as vyhere a young man who hast
registered shall claim to be employed
in a federal, State or local oflice and
thereby does come within the exemp
tion clause of the statute. In cases
like this the facts must be entered
officially and attested.
"So far as the other reasons for ex
emptions under the law are concern
ed, exemptions for men engaged in
pursuits in which their work is more
valuable at home than In the service,
the authority will lie with a board
higher Jurisdiction.
"The law provides the j>eualty
imprisonment with no alternative
a tine for any official or any register
ed man who slinll make a false re
turn or connive at such a practice.
The safeguards against favoritism
evasion are ample."
