COURT SUSTAINS
SECRECY OF ARMY
DRAFT RECORDS
RevOkes Sentence I'm
posed on Gen. Harris by
Justice SiddOns.

Selcctive service draft records are
Of a secret nature. and military Of
ficials having them in their custody
cannot be imprisoned for refusing
to make them public. even when or
dered to do so by the courts.
This was the substance of a deci-
sion handed down by the Appellate
Court yesterday revoking a ten-day
prison sentence given Adjt. Gen.
Peter c. Harris, L. S. A, official
custodian of the selectiye service
draft records, by Justice Frederick
l.. Siddons. of the District Supreme
Court, for his refusal to produce
the draft and service records re-
Garding Harry II. Walsh, of Akron,
Ohio, after having been ordered by
the court to produce them.
Waiver Not waIsh's Alone.
Justice Siddons erred both in SEN
fencing Gen. Harris to prison
term and in deciding that Walsh
himself only had the right of waiv-
er whether or not the records
should be made public during his
suit for divorce from his wife, Mrs
Mary II. Walsh, the decision ex-
planned.
The controversy arose over an
affidavit made by Mrs. Walsh, with
out her husbands knowledge, which
resulted in his being transferred
from Glass to Glass l in the draft
classifications and his induction
into the army.
After being discharged from the
army Walsh entered a suit for di-
vorce in the Akron courts, and his
counsel cOntended that the wife's
pleadings in the petition were al
variance with the statements con-
tanned in the affidavit as regards
his contribution to her support.
UphOIds Officers Refusal.
At Walsh's request Justice Sid
dons ordered Gen. Harris to appear
before a notary public with this
affidavit in order that a deposition
might be taken. Gen. Harris re-
fused on the grounds of both the
intent of Congress and the promise
of the President prior to conscrip-
ton that the draft records must
forever remain secret unless the
Secretary of War, in the exercise
of proper discretion, might author
ize the record of any one drafted
man to he inspected
Federal Attorney Peyton Gordon.
on behalf of Gen. Harris. contended
that it was just such patriotic acts
as Mrs. walsh's in making an affi-
davit ard putting the draft board in
possession of facts necessary to the
raising of troops. that were speci-
ally protected by the selective serv-
ice law with no limit whatever upon
the time the records would remain
secret.
Woman Also Had Waiver.
If these records could be delved
into at will. Mr.. Gordon contended
then the government might be seri-
ously hampered the next time il
became necessary to raise troops by
conscription.
The Appellate Courts opinion
contains practically the same Ian
Guaee as used by Mr.. Gordon in his
arguments. and adds that Mrs
Walsh also had the right of waiver
when il came to allowing her hus-
band to have actual proof that ii
was she who made the affidavit
Counsel for Walsh claimed to know
that it was the woman who made the
affidavit, and claimed also to know
its exact contents, but it was neces-
sary in the divorce proceedings TO
show definite proof. and, therefore
they put up a fight to be allowed
to examine the affidavit and take q
deposition.
