granted on the ground ser ser-I the exemption or discharge from I hp he granted The mill- mill tary authorities cannot conveniently review the action of the selective service service ser- ser vice system on the question of exemptions exemptions or disch discharges and it will wl be of great convenience for the military authorities to have of the local and the district boards in the question of whether the exemption or discharge should have been granted grantee originally To obtain this decision the method prescribed below will 1 be used Cases in this general class also fall into two special classes a heel the pei person on has never re reported reported reported re- re ported to the local board at all and has been certified to the adjutant general general general gen gen- eral of the state on form A and has b been en ordered by the tho adjutant general general general gen gen- eral to to report for foi military duty and is I trus inducted into the military service I I I j MAY WITHHOLD ENTRY i I In case a the adjutant general of I the state may withhold entry of the name of the registrant from form B and may request the proper local loca I board boa to reopen the case The local loca bo boards should then reopen the case pass upon its merits and certify it to I the district board all in the normal manner as though it had jurisdiction to discharge Similarly the district board should pass upon the case cage 11 If the exemption or discharge is refused the district board will not enter the name on but will notify the adjutant adjutant adjutant ad ad- general of the state of Its action I and the adjutant general will send the theman theman theman I man to the proper mobilization camp direct or will order him to report to toI his local board for foi transportation as I seems most convenient In case the exemption or discharge is granted the local board will not deliver the discharge dis dis- discharge charge certificate to the registrant but will send it to the adjutant general general gent gen gen- eral of the state who will forward it ito t to the adjutant general of the army with the request that the man shall I be discharged from military service by the secretary of war on the ground that his induction into military service service service ser ser- vice was consummated through error Thereupon the adjutant general of the army will order the discharge of the theman theman theman man from military service and will forward the discharge to the adjutant general of the state for delivery to the registrant b When the man has been called to report for military duty by a a. local board and sent to the mobilization camp RULES FOR REOPENING CASES In case b either the local board Doard or orthe orthe orthe the military authorities at t the mobilization mobilization mobil mobil- camp may request of the adjutant adjutant adjutant tant general of the state permission for the local board to reopen the case for the purpose of determining whether or not the exemption or discharge should have been granted or the adjutant adjutant ad ad- general of the state may re request request re- re quest the local board to reopen the theca ca case e for the same purpose In case f permission is granted or request is made by the adjutant general the local Joeal board will reopen the case pass upon its merits and certify it to the district board in the regular regul-ir manner The district board will also alto treat it in inI inthe inthe the regular maner maneI If it is determined that the exemption n or discharge should not nol hay have a been granted the district board wil wll so notify the adjutant general general general gen gen- eral of the state who will In a case where the request to reopen comes from the officer of the mobilization camp promptly notify such officer that there is no ground for discharging the man manfrom manfrom manfrom from military service If it is determined that the discharge discharge discharge dis dis- dis- dis charge should have been granted the local board will not deliver a copy ol of the discharge to the registrant but bul butwill butwill will send it to the adjutant general of the state who will forward it to

Intended to relieve cases of hardship where through error in law or through the ignorance of the registrant registrant registrant regis regis- trant a man has been held to service who should have been discharged or exempted Great care must be taken to see that this authority is not abused or used as a method of obtaining re- re hearings In cases where the c only enly question question question ques ques- tion is one of the determination of fact by hy the boards or in any other class of cases than those specified herein There are relatively very few of the these e cases and neither the military authorities authorities authorities ties at the tho mobilization camp not the adjutant generals of states are constituted boards of reviews of the action of loral local and district boards |
