classification lnvestiaated.

WASHINGTON. April 11.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder today or.
dered a thorough investigation Of
local draft board classifications IN
districts where the percentage or
class one men is singularly small.
The Inquiries are the result OF con-
gressional opposition to Crowder's
plan to base the quotas for future
drafts on the number in class one,
instead of the total number register
ed or the population.
In some districts. comparatively
few, the percentage Of class one men
is only seventeen, while in other as
tricts it is forty-five or fifty. Sew
eral congressman claim that some
local boards have deliberately adopt
ed the policy of cutting down the per-
centage of class one men to keep
their quotas lower.
"The investigations are being or
dered just as rapidly as 1t Is found
there is the least cause for one" 1t
was stated at the provost marshal
generals office.

because most OF the offices are held
