Maurice Gamelin and Marshal Pietro Baoglio, who became Italian Premier after RIVERS STATES DUTIES OF TAX COMMISSIONER livan Gets Low Down on Take In of New Taxation Dept. In an opinion requested by {Alaska’s new Tax Commissioner, O. ’S.

An offi-| cial who handles public relations for Selective Service here in Wash- ington told me that if the local 8. 8. Boards feel a man has “contributed enocugh to the war effort” he will stay in 1-C for the duration. He also said that a lot of 1-Cs who were in the service for only a short time may be reclassified out of 1-C and even accepted for “mili- wry service”, as coptrasted with ‘general military service.” “Mili- tary service” is simply what we call limited service.
