Chronicle clubs push for draft understanding and service
Directors praise loyal German and Italian heritage registrants while condemning deferment sales. Iowa reports 81,586 registrants on 20 boards with under 150 appeals and no adjudication requests to the president. Officials stress right to appeal, urge informed action, and invite qualified physicians to join the Medical Reserve Corps. Local boards advertise magazine offers as part of the page.
