Van B. Metts, State Director of
Selective Service:
"Recent directives from Nation

classification of pre-Pearl Harbor
fathers without regard to their
elgibility for a HI-A classification.
Such registrants who are essent
ial farmers or who are employed
in war production or hi support of
the war effort are in no danger of
reclassification. Such registrants
whose induction would result in
extreme hardship and privation"
to a wife, parent or child, r:ay be
deferred for dependency in Cbss.
, ni-D. All other registrants now
classified in III-A on account of
their family status should not be

that they have been reclassified in
