AMISH CHURCH MEMBERS
WANT RULING ON CLAIMS
FROM SEC'Y BAKER
Ncws- Times SpeciaI Service

News Times Special Service:
FORT WAYNE, Ind. Aug. 22.-
To appeal directly to Sec'y of War
Baker To release members of their
church from military service because
Of their religious convictions, four
mem bers of the Amish church left
yesterday with K. Earl Peters local
attorney. for washington. The four
were Joseph GRADER, ST., John Schu-
macker, John Lengacher and Peter
SJeury, AN of near Milan Center.
Appeals of the churchmen for eX-
emptiOn from the draft because Of
their religion have been of no avail
since rulings handed down by Pro
vost Marshal Enoch II. Crowder
have been that conscientious Objec-
tors should be assigned TO service as
nou-com batants Local boards have
rejected all claims for exemption on
these grounds and similar action has
been taken throughout the country.
The second Indian district board OF
appeals has not acted on any of these
cases but the ruling is expected 10 be
the same as the local boards.
Since all local pleas have been of
no avail. the churchmen chose the
only course left open, TO carry the
case to the national capital. They
hope To obtain audience with the
secretary of war at once and get a
definite decision as soon as possible.
