Drafted Men Examined in Republic County Draft
The examination of the first 246 men from Republic County's draft list was held in Belleville over three days this week. Many seek exemptions, with orders to examine additional men next in line. A new exemption ruling may reduce losses by denying married men when dependents can be supported. Local board members and assistants are listed, followed by a partial list of examinees and their exemption claims, with notes on some not passing physical exams.
