Court Rules on Draft Case in Washington
The Supreme Court ruled that a draft registrant satisfies the requirement to inform the draft board of his whereabouts by providing a chain of forwarding addresses likely to receive an induction notice in time. Justice Reed delivered the 7 2 decision, overturning Homer Lester Bartley of Houston who argued he had advised the board that an induction notice would reach him via the National Maritime Union. The ruling also allows liberal construction of civil suit postponement for soldiers and sailors, but not when a service member is stationed in Washington and has not sought leave to defend himself.
