Aiswitroog. state director of selective aorvice, recently urged all employero la Illinois to give the oelective service system the fullest Tosamti of co-operation possible in replaelng man qnaWfted fir the armed forces with womsn or older men. Also^ he stated that each employer should consider ft to bo his patriotic duty not to oak for industrial deferment for anyone who Is not an absolutely necessary m*n to defense production. The director pointed out that each of the 381 local selective service boards in Illinois has an official designated as the re-employment committeeman whose principk duty from now on will be to act as l|*isqp between employers, the fltnitw state employment agency and the selective service system. Employers aer requested to call upon theoe men whenever questions of the release or employment of men in the selective service age group arise. Recent directives from Washington indicate, according to Col. Armstrong, that the deferment of men in class II, which are those men considered by local boards to be necessary to the public interest in their civilian jobs, will henceforth be strictly limited. Our local boards have been instructed to re-examine every such case and to reclassify, where possible, an,y man whose civilian job is j\ot absolutely necessary in the interest of national defense. In making a sorvey of male employees between the ages of 21 and 27, inclusive, employers are urged to become thoroughly acquainted with the selective service status of each employee and for those men who actually are indispensable, steps should be taken immediately by employers to file a Form 42-A at once. This form is required from employers requesting class Q deferments and it should be filed with tiie man's local board at once rather than after the man haa been ordered for induction into the army. The director expressed the belief that no employer or business executive would care to have his buaineas or industry become a haven or refuge for young men desiring to evade military service aadkhe urged all employers to diligeitiy guard gaainst any such attempts at evasion.
