MILITARY DEFAULTERS
REGULATIONS FOR ALTERNATIVE SERVICE. COMMENT BY MAGISTRATE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, October 7. “The thing is becoming an absurdity,” said Mr E. C. Levvey, S.M., when he referred'in the Magistrate’s Court to the delay in implementing the Government’s regulations for providing alternative service for military defaulters. The case before him was that of a young man who had already been, remanded on several occasions pending provision of alternative service. Defendant was a grocer's assistant, aged 30, who appeared for sentence on a charge that on July 2, being a man called up for service with the armed forces, he failed to report to the military authorities. “I was hoping that long before this there would be the other establishment,” said Mr Levvey, who said he doubted the wisdom of adjourning the case further.
Mr K. G. Archer, for defendant: “I would hesitate to ask for further adjournments.” Sub-Inspector E. T. C. Turner: “The regulations have been issued but the Defence Department is not ready to put them into effect. We are expecting word shortly.” The magistrate: “It is high time they were put into operation.”
