MURDOCH WILL VISIT
IRREGULAR" BOARDS
State Investigator Extends
Probe for Personal Quiz of
Accused Draft Officials

Every draft board in Philadelphia
charged with irregularities in it's work
will be visited by Major W. G. Muir
dock, the draft officer, before he leaves
for Harrisburg.
The major hoped to be able to report
to Adjutant General Frank D. Reary, his
superior, whom he represents in the
Philadelphia draft probe, tonight but
admitted today that his investigation
would have to be extended.
The report that there is a variance of
feeling between the United States Dis
trict Attorney and the Harrisburg draft
oH1ce appears to have gained much
weight In the last few days. Major MUIR
dock said today he would try to con-
Ter with T. Henry Walnut. Assistant
United States District Attorney, this af-
ternoon. He intended seeing Mr.. Wal
nut, who has charge of the federal in
vestigation into the Philadelphia draft
muddlc, yesterday.
AdJutant General Beary in an official
statement denied that there was auy-
thing serious in the draft conditions in
y philadelphia. 1t is believed since Major
Murdock conducted the preliminary in
vestfgation here, the basis for Adjuta mt
General Beary's statement was in the
majors report.
The calling of the special Federal
Grand Jury to hear charges of shady
doings In the working of the conscrip.
ton by United States District Attorney
Kane has taken on all the likelihood Ct
retaliation upon the ''whitewash
statement from Harrisburg.
II believe IL is necessary" Ma ior MIR
dock said today. that I personally visi,
every local draft board which has been
charged with Irregularities in the work
Ing o. the draft"
He reiterated his threat of yesterday
that proof be produced that members OF
the Philadelphia draft boards be guilty
Of violations of the draft rules they will
he unceremoniously dismissed.
A specific instance of draft board
playing into the hands of political
clique for the sake of votes will be con-
tanned in an affidavit to be presented to
the special Federal Grand Jury when II
Convcnos on July 1 by Albert Pearlman
q private at Camp Meade. He asserted
that he was transferred from Glass No
to Glass No. l because he voted
wrong"
The investigators a,so have learned
Of another draft board whose leader I'M
til two months ago Is said to have been
1t is asserted that Governor Brum-
baugh's attention was called to this fact
but he neglected to call for the mans
resignation. 1t Is also asserted that this
man used his influence to prevent rela-
tive from being drafted.
Mur,lock did not comment on these
phases of the draft situation. '..- ..
