President seeks broader draft exemptions for married men
Washington Aug bi Peter Wilson writes Seer Benjunker urging careful examination of married men who are heads of families for exemption and favoring single men when possible. He says the president may set regulations under the draft law and conflicts with Provost Marshal General Crowder s interpretation. The letter signals a push for more liberal exemption policy than the office has pursued. Officials differ on legal authority to grant exemptions beyond dependency.
