Slacker Surrenders in New York City Draft Case
Conrad Janke, 30, of 23% West 43rd Street, walked into the West 47th Street police station and said he is a “slacker” who wishes to surrender. He admits twice registering for the draft under Charles T. Jackson, claiming a Panama posting as a railroad community assistant. He fears federal agents and says sleep eluded him since reading the drive on slackers. His case will be referred to federal authorities via the local draft board.
