'DESERTERS ARREST
JUSTIFIES LIST, SAID
Apprehension of Many Evad.
ers Following Publication
of Names.

WASHINGTON. D. G, June %
The apprehension OF nearly 500
draft deserters since the publication
Of the Stacker lists began has justi-
fed the position Of the American
Legion and veterans OF the world
war in general in their desire TO
have the lists published.
More than half Of the $4,000
names Of draft deserters have been
published, according to information
obtained by officials OF the Legion.
The unpublished names are being
released at a rate that should COM
plete their publication in the next
five weeks
OF the approximately 500 deser-
ters who have been apprehended,
about 200 have been tried and so
convicted. Members of the Ameri-
can Legion have assisted in run
ming down the deserters.
Both Sec'y Weeks and Adtt. Gen.
Harris have pointed out TO Ameri-
can Legion officials that in addition
to bringing hundreds Of deserters 20
justice and branding thousands
more, the publication of the lists has
cleared the service record Of men
who served or who had just cause
for exemption. but who failed TO
comply with some requirements OF
the selective service act and were
therefore listed as deserters.
