The National Jewish Welfare
Board's Commission on Jewish
Chaplaincy has received an official
communication from Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey, director of the Selec-

that all draft boards have been
requested to give "favorable con-
sideration, wherever possible," to
requests of registrants of the Jew-
ish faith for postponements of
physical examination or induction
into the Armed Forces during
Passover.
This communication, addressed
to Rabbi Israel Miller, Bronx, N.Y.,
chairman of the JWB Commission
on Jewish Chaplaincy, was Selec-
tive Service Operations Bulletin
No. 81, entitled "Jewish Holy
Days." The bulletin gives Jewish
registrants scheduled for physical
examination or induction between
sundown April 16 and sundown
April 24 the right to request de-
ferment until after Passover. Re-.
quests for such deferment should
be made directly to local draft
boards.
