WASHINGTON, d. c., April IL
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
ordered a thorough investigation of To-
cal draft board classiications in dis
tricts where the percentage of class
one men is singularly small. The in
quiries are the result of congress
ional opposition to Crowder's plan to
base the quotas for fuutre drafts on
the number in class one, instead of the
total number registered or popuia-
ton. In some districts-comparative-
ly few-the percentage Of class one
men is only H. while in other districts
it is 45 and So Several congressman
claim that some local boards have de-
liberately adopted the policy of cut
