ALASKANS WILL BE
CALLED TO SERVICE
BY CLASSIFICATION
Considerable speculation has been
occasioned over the fact that regis
tiation boards in Alaska were as
signed order numbers for draft fiom
the master list prepared at Washing
ton, before the questionaries have
been sent out the men registered giv
en their proper classifications accord
ing to tl eir returns. The question
was today referred to Attorney Green,
of the local draft board and he ans
wered to the elTect that although the
! order number was assigned, the men
; would still be called according to
j classifications.
Should a man’s order number be
among the ones to be calhd lirst, am
should he come under one of the de
ferred classifications, when issuing
| their cal- the local boards would skip
| his number until all number of pre
ceding classifications had been ex
j hausted.
Attorney Green said that in his
minion the drait men from Alaska
| would start mov ng south vithm the
I next sixty days, although there was
! nothing authentic about that. ihe
draft quota from Alaska will amount
to about 550. The original quota wa
over 696. but credit has been given
many who have enlisted from Alasnu,
! and whose cards are in the possession
| of the local boards. Men from the
j Interior and Nome sections, uho may

• be certified for service will not be re
quired to report for training until af
ter the opening of navigation next
j year:
The statement of Attorney Green
follows:
“The Master List consists of a draw
ing of numbers from 1 to 10,500 inclu
sive, which was made in Washington
i under the direction of the Secretary
of Wai, and in accordance with the
• l-ules and regulations prescribed by
I the President. A schedule of this list,
! containing all of such numbers, ar
ranged in the exact order in which
they woi*o drawn, was prepared by the
Provo t Marshal General. The first
number drawn was placed at the top
of column one of the Master List, the
second number drawn was placed nexi
below in such Master List, and this
order was followed untii all of the
numbers drawn were compiled in the
exact order in which they were drawn.
Part 11. page 100, Selective Service
Regulations, provides as follows:
“‘The Master List controls and
determines the exact order In
w hich the persons w’hose registra
tion cards are in the possession
of the respective local boards or
may hereafter be received by said
local board are liable to be called
by the local board for military
service.
“‘Immediately upon receipt of
these regulations place a check
mark after every number in the
Master List which at the present
time appeal’s in the “Serial Num
ber” column on Form 102.’
“Thus, it is seen, the ne\v Selective
Service Regulations presupposed the
fact that the order number had boon
determined under the old regulations,
as Form 102 is the official form for
listing the order numbers as deter
mined thereunder. But the order num
beis having not been assigned in
Alaska, at the time the new’ regula
tions became effective, there was no
course left open for the boards in the
I Territory except to determine the or
! der numbers by comparison of the
serial number list with the Master
List, as provided in part 11 and sec
tions 68 and 69 of the new regula
tions.
“This assignment of numbers takes
the place of the formal drawing under
the old regulations, the list compiled
from the original druwing held at
Washington being deemed to be equiv
alent to a general drawing of all num
bers corresponding therewith in the
possession of every board throughout
the United States. The order in which
these numbers were drawm, together
w’ith the class number of the regis
trant, determines the order in which
each man is required to report for
military duty.
“By way of illustration^ supnosirg
| tnat the registrant who holds the fust
number drawn is classified, wnen his
questionaire is returned in Class l he
will be the first man called by his
board for military duty, and suppos
ing that the second registrant whose
number was drawn by the same board,
being Order No. 2, is classified in
Class 2 w’hen his questionaire is re
turned, the board would skip over Irm
when it calls its quota for service, and
call the next number classified in
Class 1. In this w*ay, all registrants
I --
in Class 1 will be called and examin
ed as to their qualifications for mili
tary service, before any of the regis
trants in Class 2 are called. Then all
i of the registrants in Class 2 would be
called in the order in which their
numbers appear on the order number
list, before those in Class 3 are call
ed, ami so on, until Class 5 is reached
which is a permanently deferred clas
sification, being equivalent to perma
nent exemption or discharge.
“In other words the group of reg
istrants within the jurisdiction of e?ch
local board is taken to be the unit to
be classified. Within each class the
order of liability is determined by the
drawing, the order number being the
distinguishing mark which identifies
each registrant for service in the
same classification, while those of the
lowest classifications are called first
and those of the higher classifications
are called in the order in wdiich they
are reuched after all preceding classi
fications are exhausted. ,
