As to the Non-productive Occupations
—Instructed to Use Common
Senso in Considering Cases
The new regulations from the pro-
vost general's ofliec to govern the ap-
plication of the work or light order,
were issued to local draft boards on
Friday.
"Local boards will consider cases
of withdrawal of deferred classifica-
tion with common sense," General
Crowder's instructions say, and they
name illness, vocation, the impossibil-
ity of securing productive employment
j without a change of residence as reu
| sonable grounds for waiving the gen-
| eral order. While sales clerks in the
stores and clerical workers in otlicc s
are classed as non-producers, boards
are directed to exempt department,
store executives and skilled workers
attached to such establishment
Traveling salesmen will be considered
as engaged iu productive employment
but automobile salesmen in cities will
not, it was explained. Public or pri
vate chauffeurs are held to be non
producers only when they combine
other work with their mechanical du-
t i es.
Local boards are asked to assist reg-
istrants to obtain new employment
through the federal employment ser-
vice, and are given power to postpone
action while effort is being made to
place men in occupations held produc-
tive.
