MILITARY SERVICE
CONSTITUTION OF APPEAL TRIBUNALS. QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Information as to the type of person to be appointed to the appeal boards to be set up under the National Service Emergency Regulations to hear appeals from persons called up in the ballots for military service was sought by Mr Endean (Opposition, Remuera) when the Supplementary Estimates were under consideration in the House of Representatives yesterday. “Will they be members of the legal profession, magistrates or judges’?” Mr Endean asked. The Minister of Finance, Mr Nash, replied that the boards would comprise two persons, who would be representative citizens, and a magistrate. Mr Endean: “Will those two be of a military character.” Mr Nash: “Not necessarily.” Mr Endean: "Would it not be better to have judicial tribunals?” Mr Nash: "That would not be possible, I think.” Mr Endean: "They did in the last war.” Mr Nash: “Did they have three? I think this is the same as last time.” Mr Endean: “I take it the personnel would not be pacifists?” There was no reply to this question.
