BERGDOLL RELEASE
HANGS ON POSTAL
Effort to Free Stacker Brother
Of Fugitive in Germany
Comes Up Today
PRECEDENT TO BE SET

Kansas City. Mo-. March 26.--- (By
A. P)-Whcther mailing of n postcard
constituted sufficient notification of n
summons 20 the colors under the sclec-
tive draft act is the principal point in =
volvcd for decision in habeas corpus
proceedings on call in Federal Court at
Kansas City, Kan, today to bring
about the release from prison of Erwin
BCrgdoll of Philadelphia.
Bergdoll, brother Of Grover Bergdoll,
draft dodgcr now In Germany, is scrv-
ing a five year sentence in the federal
pcnitcntiary at Leavcnworth, following
conviction by court martial on charges
Of failing TO report for military duty
during the war.
IL is expected the decision will deter
mine whether several thousand alleged
'slackers' will be brought TO trial.
Bergdol contends that hc never received
notice to report for military service. The
government contends postcard notice
was mailed to him. and that proof Of
mailing is all that is required.
Bcrgdolls attorneys seek to prevent
the introduction by tho government OF
this testimony. claiming that 1t is not
properly admissible in hobcss corpus
proceedings.
Defense attorneys say they expect to
prove that tho court ma rtial was invalid
because the record fails to show that
Be"gdoll received draft notice.
