Exemptions in State Law From Military Draft Discussed
The Milwaukee Sentinel reports on state exemptions from military duty during war or insurrection. Ministers, licensed physicians, discharged service members, firemen, judges, sheriffs, state officers, telegraph workers, and prison staff are named as exemptions under state authority. Federal exemptions apply too, and the president’s call may override state provisions. No state draft law exists, so drafts would follow federal directions once issued.
