Calls SempIiner Race
Move TO Beat Draft

10 reversed itself when doubt
arose whether the commissioner
ship was a court of record and has
asked Sempliner to produce proof
it Is.
Originally Sempliner was not
allowed a place on the ballot be-
cause the county clerk ruled there
was no vacancy But through
mandamuS proceedings in Circuit
Court Sempliner obtained place
on the ballot.
TEXT OF ANSWER
In his answer to Sempliner's
show cause proceedings, FitzGer-
aid stated:
"Sempliner has sought eXemp-
tiOn from military service under
the selective service act on
grounds that he had been elected
as judge to a court of record.
eff at the time he caused the
Wayne county clerk to accept
his nominating petitions through
mandamus proceedings, Semp-
liner believed the office of cir
cult court commissioner is a
court of record, he knew, or
should have known that having
draft order number 548. he
would be called into the military
service of the United States
army, thereby defeating the pur-
pose of the selective service act
contrary to the public policy of
the state of Michigan and the
United States.
"In the a ternatiV that
although section 1868 of the
compiled laws of the state of
Michigan for 1929 provides that
a vacancy in the office of
court of record. occurring more
than 80 days prior to a general
election, Spring or Fall, shall be
filed by election on either of
said election days, nevertheless,
Sempliner failed to aver in said
mandamus proceedings that said
statute applied, although the al
legged vacancy occurred more
than 80 days prior to the Spring
election on April :, 1871, admit
ting thereby that he well knew
that said office of circuit court
commissioner was not court
of record and If legally elected,
he could not hold the office
while in the military service OF
the army"
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-17

Arthur W. Sempliner, newly
elected circuit court commissioner
who is seeking exemption from
draft service on grounds he was
elected to a court of record, knew
before his election that the Office
was not a court Of record, it was
charged. today by Circuit Court
Commissioner Frank FITZGERALD.
FITZGERALD. who was appointed
to office by Gov. Murray d. Van
Wagner on January l, has re-
fused to relinquish his office to
Semptiner. contending that there
was no vacancy in the spring cleo
ton when Sempliner was allegedly
elected TO FitzGerald's position.
Sempliner has petitloned for an
order requiring FITZGERALD to show
cause why he should not surrender
the office.
FITZGERALD RAISES ISSUE
In his answer filed today with
the county clerk. FITZGERALD
raised the issue of Sempliner'S
draft service, c on n d i n G that
Sempliner sought to defeat the
purposes of the draft act by run
ming for office.
Sempliner who is q. unmarried,
has no dependents and would ordi-
narily be placed in class / subject
TO immediate army call. has OBJ
tanned a deferment from draft
board 10 until it d e m
whether the circuit court commits
Sionership is court of record.
Under the draft act, judges in
courts of record are placed in class
4B. a deferred class.
Sempliner was originally in
board Il of which his father,
Abram w. Sempliner is chairman,
but was transferred TO board 10
because under the draft act a
father cannot classify his son. In
March, while he was still a can
didate for office. Sempliner was
granted six weeks deferment,
and during this period he was
elected TO office.
ASKED FOR CLASS Alb
The day before this ended May
!. he asked TO be placed in class
4B because of his election.
