Culture, Court Is Told


NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Na-
tional bund leaders decided the
draft law was designed to elimi-
nate German-American culture
from the United States and de-
termined to fight against" the
Selective Service Act, William
Luedtke, former bund secretary,
declared in Federal Court today.
Testifying in the trial of Is former
Bund leaders charged with con-
spring to counsel bundists to evade
the Selective Service Law, Luedtke

head of the eastern department, and
Gustav Elmer, former Bund treas
urer. All four are defendants in the
trial before Judge Alfred D. Barks-
dale.
Luedtke said that at the meeting
Kunze described the Selective Serv-
ice Act as discriminating against
German Americans in the United
States.
"Kunze said that the Bund would
have to take it upon itself to fight
this law" Luedtke testified.
Under questioning the witness
added: I'VE all agreed with Kunze;
there was no disagreement by any
one present with the position taken
by Kunze."

New Jersey Will Delay
Calling Up Married Men
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j.. Sept. 23.-New
Jerseys married men won't be called
up for military service until other
States reach a parity in reclassi-
fication, 1t. Col. Edgar N. Bloomer,
State selective service director, said
today.
Draft quotas are based on the
men in Ia, Col. Bloomer said, and
the large number of married men
newly reclassified had brought New
Jersey quota "out Of proportion"
to those Of States where local boards
had Jagged in reclassifications of
married men as IA.
He added: I'VE don't want New
Jersey to be penalized because its
local boards adhered more strictly
than those in other States to regu-
lations concerning reclassification
Of married men whose wives are
working or have other means of
support"
The deferment applies only to
men married before October, 1910,
when selective service started. Col.
Bloomer said those married since
that date were considered single un-
der selective service regulations.
