APPEAL BOARD CRITICIZED
Objection Made to Exemption of
Solicitor of Electric Company
on Industrial Grounds

Latest orders from state draft headquar-
ters at Harrisburg instruct the local draft
boards to send their extra men to complete
the first 45 per cent quota and fill vacan-
cies made by those sent back by the army
doctors as physically unfit after the per
cent detail has gone to Camp Meade to-
morrow and Saturday.
Complaint that District Appeal Board
No. l has exempted a man on an industrial
claim that he was needed in his position
as solicitor for an electric company is made
by Clinton Rogers Woodruff, chairman of
the Sixth Local Draft Board, who says
such action "is hard to understand" Chair
man Woodruff also objects TO the District
Appeal Board granting exemptions without
informing his board likewise.
