Draft dodger blocked from clemency board meeting in Washington
U S draft dodger Bill Meis of Decatur sought a meeting with Clemency Board chair Charles Goodell but was turned away at the Executive Office Building guard post. Meis, who returned from Canada last week after exile since 1988, plans to surrender later this week in Springfield Illinois amid protest of Ford’s amnesty program calling it involuntary servitude and urging universal amnesty.

Amnesty attracts only 70 of 11,000 deserters
About 70 of an estimated 11,000 eligible military deserters surrendered under Ford’s amnesty plan, with 2208 inquiries. The ACLU dismissed the program as unwise and unequally applied, pledging to challenge loyalty oaths and constitutional waivers. The National Council of Churches said it will offer counseling in four Canadian cities for exiled deserters.
