ST LOUIS AP Charles W Sliger chairman of the Butler County draft board says a 22 year old Poplar Bluff man dodged the draft with help from the White House and received an indefinite deferment after the case went to the White House. State Sen. Nelson B Tinnin says he heard from the man's grandmother that the grandfather had a heart attack before the Feb 23 induction but Sliger denies the claim and calls the situation unfair to the man drafted in his place. National headquarters ordered the postponement of the induction on Feb 25 saying it was by White House order.
