SIMILAR NAMES
IN STACKER LIST
CAUSE TROUBLE
Law Justifies Publication,
Attorney General
Claims.

The government has begun to ao-
preciate the difficulties in connec-
ton with the forthcoming publica-
tion of the draft evaders' list.
Benjamin Kaufman, of Brooklyn,
y. Y, was included in the list. He
had failed to report to his draft
board
1t was discovered, however, that
one BENJAMIN Kaufman, also of
Brooklyn, had received the medal of
honor for heroism in the Argonne.
A glaring error had been commit
ted. the. War Department decided.
until investigation showed that not
only were there two Benjamin
Kaufmans. from the same city, but
that they registered for the draft on
the same day, were within four
months OF being The same age and
strongly resemble each other.
Many Names Similar.
The Adjutant-General's Office also
discovered that 1.S3S men bearing
the name of Kaufman. Kaufman,
Kaufmann-eleven different SPELL
ings in all-saw service in the war.
In a formal opinion Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty stated that men
whose may dppCdl Oh NhC
lists of draft dodgers, will have no
recourse against the government for
alleged defamation of character. The
opinion says:
Defends Publication.
1T is of the utmost Importance
from a public viewpoint that men
classed as deserters under the draft
act be apprehended in order to de-
mand respect for the law especially
in times of an emergency. and also as
to the consequent effect it would
have in the event of similar
emergency arising. The Secretary of
War. therefore, acting for the Presi-
dent in the administration of the
military establishment is within his
authority in taking such steps as
may be deemed necessary to bring
about the apprehension of those
amenable to military law. The pro-
posed publication would therefore
be privileged"
The House of Representatives
made possible the general publica-
tion of the Stacker list by unani-
mously ordering that the list be
printed in the Congressional Record.
Removes Liability.
Representative Royal C. johnson,
of South Dakota, explained that 1t
was to relieve the newspapers of
any responsibility for damages that
he proposed to have the complete
list published in the Congressional
Record.
Army headquarters explained that
certain rules governing the appre~
hension of draft slackers had been
to mean that anyone
could arrest a Stacker and that a
reward of $50 would be paid for
en"h Stacker turned over to army
officials.
The regulations actually provide.
IL was stated, that the person at
resting a Stacker may be allowed
the actual expenses incurred in de-
hvering him to army authorities,
provided the expenses do not ex-
ceed $50.
Only army officers, or persons hav-
ing authority under the law to make
arrests can apprehend q Stacker, it
was said.
