PAGE TWO CHARGE SELF IN DRAFT EVASION Judge Webb Refers Case To Draft Board For Consideration (Shelby Star) Glenn Richard Self, of Gastonia, who claims to be a member of the sect Jehovah’s Witnesses, scheduled for trial today before Judge E. Yates Webb in United States District Court for evading orders of his selective sendee board, was in conference with his attorneys, court officials and members of the Lincoln county draft board looking towards a possible re classification, this afternoon. Judge Webb, after the case had been called for trial this morning, ordered the district attorney to have the Lincoln draft board review a re cent order of General J. Van B. Metts, which tends to give members of this religious sect advantage of a reclassification even if they are not listed as ministers by members of the church. District Attorney Lamar Caudle insisted on trial, saying that the case has been threshed out nu merous times by the draft board; that this board has already classed him as a conscientious objector, but that he refuses to go to a conscien tious objectors camp. Judge Webb said that in view of the order of General Metts, which was issued on March 12, it would appear that Self is entitled to further consideration of his case by the draft board. “Suppose,” said Judge Webb, “that the draft board refuses to give further consideration to this case in the face of this order by General Metts, what do you gentlemen on the government side propose for me to do then ?” “We propose to try this case on the bill of indictment as returned by the grand jurjf,” said District Attorney Lamar Caudle. “Well, I don’t propose to see any injustice done regardless of what the orders of the draft board are,” finished Judge Webb. Self, for whom the court appoint ed as attorneys Russell Berry and Horace Kennedy, after he tendered a plea of not guilty, has indicated to these lawyers that he is prepared to carry his case to the highest court, contending his right of exemption from the draft act on the ground that he is a minister of the gospel. If he is not accorded this exemption, he said that he is prepared to ac cept any punshment the court metes out.

Wilkinson ... ■ YftNli- - fiwHHl m Major Wilkinson, who, as a mem ber of the air loree has been in the thick of the fight in the South Pa cific for the past eight months, has been ordered to report to Hamilton Soldier Allowances Explained Herewith “How do I got about getiing my family allowance from the govern ment?” is a question being asked by many who have sons or brothers in j the service. For the benefit of these the following brief explanation* of benefits as administered for the army j by the Office of Dependency Bene fits is given below: What is a family allowance? A government cheek sent to the sot uier’s dependents regularly every month. The family allowance is made up of money set aside from his pay and money contributed by the gov ernment. It is granted only upon application. It is payable only to de- I pendents eligible under the law. j These include, primarily, wife and 'child (Class A relatives); depend | ent parents and minor dependent sisters and brothers (Class B de pendents). How much is set aside from the | soldier’s pay? Twenty-two dollars aj month, if the allowance is for Class A relatives only, or Class B depend- I ents only; $27 a month, if it is for both Class A and Class B. How much will the soldier's de pendents get? Here are a few ex amples: Wife, SSO; wife and child, i $62; wife and two children, $72; wife and mother only, $47; wife and par- J ents, SBO. How soon does a family allowance 1 begin to be paid? The allowance be gins to accrue the month after he I applies and is payable when that month has ended. For instance, if he applies in March, the allowance begins to accrue in April and is pay able in May. Who may apply? The soldier may apply as soon as he is on active duty. All enlisted men in the fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh grades may apply. Dependents may apply, too, but it is better for the soldi-t himself to do [ it. His wife or rhild (also divorced wife to whom alimony is payable) j may receive this beuelit with or with j out his consent. But Class B depend ents may receive it only if the sol dier agrees. How is application made? Appli cation is made only on the official form WD, AGO 625. These form, are available at reception centers, I recruiting stations, local chapters of the American Red Cross, Service Command Headquarters and the Of fice of Dependency Benefits. Is documentary proof of relation ship and dependency required? Yes, and soldiers or relatives should gath tr that proof before submitting ap plications and attach it to applica tion. Documentary evidence consist; of certified copies of the public or church record of marriage ami of the birth of the soldier’s children; two affidavits of dependency, sworn to by disinterested persons, for eacii Class B dependent named in applica tion. Evidence must accompany any application field by a relative or de pendent of the soldier. All army men may authorize a Class E allotment from their pay: For their dependents, for a civilian life insurance premium, to a bank, for a savings or checking account in the soldeir’s name or in the name of a dependent. What is a Class E allotment ? Th ? Class E allotment is a voluntary al lotment authorized by a man in the army, by WAAC’s, by army nurse and by certain civilian employes of the War Department on duty outside the United States. The allotment is taken from the alloter’s pay each month and sent to his dependents in the form of a government check. Ii may be in any amount the alluttei wishes to authorize, provided (if h< is an enlisted man) he leaves himself not less than $lO a month. An officer may allot his entire pay and allow ances. Who maiU the checks? The Office of Dependency Benefits, 213 Wash- ; ington Street, Newark, N. J , admin- I isters Class E allotments a-, well as 1 other soldier’s benefits and issues all ; checks. How soon will an allotment be < paid? An allotment is payable at the < end of the month for which it is i Field, Cal 1 ., for reassignment. He is expected to visit his sister, Mrs. Ted Eurey, in this city, upon his ar rival in this country. On Guard (News of 29th Co. North Carolina State Guard) Capt. John Morton, I.ts. Nick Sap penfield and Mike Whitener and Sgt. j Loyd Elmore left last Sunday morn ing for Fort Bragg, where they will take ten days’ training in state guard administration and training. Ex-Private Fitz Hoyle, who was recently discharged from the army of the United States at Aberdeen Proving Ground, lias been appointed lust sergeant of the local state guard company. Sergt. Hoyle is in command | of the company while the officers ! are at Fort Bragg training. ! Lieut. Jack Prause, a former first I sergeant of the company, was in the city over the week end. Jack is in I command of a military company in j Georgia. He is getting along fine, and says that the experience that he I got in the state guard meant a lot to him. Pvt. Jackson T. Hunt writes back from the army that the training he ! received in the State Guard has meant lots to him in his service for Uncle Sam. Other former members | ot the Guard have written that a 1 little advanced training has helped. I Lt. Robert Rudisill, a former mem ber of the Guard, was back home oil a pass over the week end. We are really proud of the record that for mer members are making who go from the company into the army. We are looking forward to build ing up a fine and efficient company as soon as our officers return from their training at Fort Bragg. They will get some training while there tiiat will enable them to know what j to do, how to do it, and when to do i it. The first sergeant didn’t have to go get his training. He had just had it—three months and three days of it. We have a deficit of about 15 men in oin quota at the present time. We | would like to fill this as soon as pos sible in order to get started oil our new training program. The State Guard affords a wonderful opportu nity for men to render a real service to their community and at the same tune do themselves a service by get ting some training before being called into United States army ser vice. Men who are within the age limit and not already in class 1-A arc eligible to become members of the Guard. The armory is open ev ery Monday night from 6 until 9. Anyone interested is invited to come in and talk it over with us. If more convenient see Sergt. Hoyle at the Hoyle Motor Co. office any time any day. We need you and will be glad to discuss the matter with you. We have received a new shipment of uniforms and in the near future you will see the State Guard out on parade in beautiful new uniforms. The State Guard companies of North Carolina are speedily becoming a well equipped organization. We al ready have, in addition to clothing and shoes, shotguns, sub-machine guns, gas guns, gas masks, mess kits and other equipment too numerous to mention. The State Guard companies are really becoming a service or ganization, and we want Lineointon to be on top if their services are needed. Our company will be on duty for all blackouts, real or practice. made. Check may be mailed during the following month. An allotment I authorized to begin in January is | payable in February. , Can a soldier authorize an allot ment and also supply for family al- ! lowance? Yes, if he is in the fourth, | fifth, sixth or seventh grades in the j army. j Can he increase, decrease or dis- ; continue an allotment ? A soldier ma ! do so at any time on the official form I provided for this purpose. ;! AT THE CHURCHES | ******** ******** ll» ******* t EMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH Luther A.
