Wasson is appointed commissioner to receive claims with hearings set for the first Monday of December.

Nest of pro Germanism under investigation
Federal Officer Kerrick probes Rev. C R Egle pastor of the Central Mennonite church near Flanagan and local draft board members at Pontiac. The hearing cites dissension against the United States over conscientious objection and pro German ideas. Egle’s son George C Egle refused Camp Wheeler service, and Egle advised him. Other members also refused uniforms, while many congregants oppose the pastor’s stance. The case highlights tensions in a Mennonite community where German language use is being reduced.
