FEW SINGLE MEN CLAIM EXEMPTION- CLERKS BUSY

Austrians in one precinct said they would return to Austria to join its army. Total Richmond registrations expected above 2,000, with rapid turnout outside the city. One religious objector from the Church of God claimed exemption. Registration continued briskly, especially in German-American areas. Continued on page two.
