Opinions Differ On Man's Height
Big Jim Smith faced a height dispute after the Des Moines draft process. Induction officials listed him at 6 feet 5 inches, making him eligible, so he left work, moved family belongings home, sold his car, and reported to Chicago for a draft physical. A later Army measurement found him 6 feet 6 and 1/2 inches, exceeding the 6-6 limit, so he was not inducted.
