Draft Dodger Is Assigned
to Police DUTY

ROCKFORD, HI, April 22.-Brent
Dow Allinson, who attained unusual
notor;ety as a draft dodger and CON
scientious obiector, was simply swal-
lowed IN the vast democracy of Camp
Grant to-day.
The earnest young men at the camp
paid no attention to him. He spent the
night in the guard house and to-day was
assigned to police duty.
Even the distinction Of being sum
moned by some officer to give an ac-
count of himself was denied him.
Allinson succeeded in lodging the
draft for twenty days. Whether he will
be court martalled as deserter,
which technically he has been since
April l, remains TO be decided.
