Famous Draft Dodger Takes Punch At Butler
Grover C. Bergdoll, the world famous WWI draft dodger, was arrested by state police in Downington Pennsylvania for punching his butler and pointing a shotgun during a wage dispute. The butler, Clemens Klein, filed warrants accusing Bergdoll of assault and battery and aggravated assault with a firearm. Bergdoll faced a hearing later. In other news, at a U.N. security council meeting, Soviet envoy Gromyko rejected U.S. proposals on the atomic development authority, warning the plan would violate the U.N.
