OF WINTER COAL

Quick steps to accelerate the

That the fuel situation in Ore

DRAFT APPEAL BOARD Will,
STICK TO SECRET SESSIONS
Open the Doors

CHARLES LESLIE MAJOR, S0S u
~ Olympic place. when he registered
under the draft order on June 5, gave his
age as %, unmarried, and stated that he
was not employed He was drawn, passed,
and certified into the army by his division
board.
Before the district board of appeals, two
months and half after registration, he
submitted sworn statements to prove that
he is employed in Seattle shipbuilding
plant. AND THAT HE is INDIS-
PENSABLE TO HIS EMPLOYERS.
. Upon this showing the board gave him
the usual temporary discharge until Janu-
AIRY |.
Today The Star, having learned by ac-
cident of the case made inquiries OF the
appeal board.
A few minutes later an employe of
the board called up The Star office to
say that the board had decided to re-
open the Major case and would con-
slider it further before reaching a final
decision.
The district board of appeals has bar
red from its hearings not only the public,
but newspapermen as well.
If the case of Charles Leslie Major,
uho became indispensable to the ship
ping industry in a period of a little
more than tWo months, is sample of
uhof is done behind the closed doors
of the district board of appeals, The
Star Dants to haUe those doors
opened.
I There must be no talk of favoritism in
draft exemptions. Members of the appeal
board cannot afford to let this sort of talk
arise.
Yet that is surely what is going to hap
pen if these questions of life or dsath are
discussed in private.
The way to quiet suspicion, gentle
men, is to do business in the open, and
this rule holds true in draft exemp-
tions just as we'll as in any other activ-
ity of life, military or otherwise.
