Draft Appeals to President Washington
The White House will not issue new regulations on appeals from district draft boards. Crowder directs that appealed cases go from district boards to state headquarters for transmission to the Provost Marshal General. Governors are told drafted men outside their state may be reassigned to their temporary residence cantonment if returning would cause great hardship. Local boards must analyze each case and grant changes only for great and unusual hardship.
