18 DRAFT BOARDS TO BE TURNED OVER t Governor Orders Adjutant General to Inquire; Mur dock Returns to City Governor Brumbaugh last night followed up his statement of yester day morning regarding draft board criticisms in Pennsylvania by send ing letters to Adjutant General Beary ordering dismissal of men who have acted Improperly and Mayor Thomas B. Smith, of Philadelphia, asking him what he knows about some alle gations which have been made. In his letters the Governor wrote: June 13, 1913. Hon. Frank D. Beary. Adjutant General, Harrisburg, Pa. Dear General Beary: I assume that you are in touch with conditions in Philadelphia and that Major Murdock will re port to you at once. He should. The story in the North Amer ican this morning is false. If. perchance, any board or mem ber thereof is found to have de parted knowingly from his duties as defined by General Crowder I want that board or member dismissed at once—summarily, and men put in their places who will- act honestly, impartially and promptly. There can be no variation from this in Philadel phia or in any place in Penn sylvania, as you know. "We have had but one mind in all this—to do exactly what the national government wishes and anyone who fails the state in this respect must get out at once. Sincerely. (Signed) M. G. BRUMBAUGH. June 13, 1918. Hon. Thomas B. Smith, Mayor of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir: The newspapers to-day carry the story that District Board No. 2 and some local boards in Philadelphia have not carried .out fully, fairly and impartially the directions of General Crowd er in the matter of classifica tion of draftees. I have no knowledge of the truth or falsity of these statements, but since you nominated these men for the respective places they hold I deem it my duty to ask you to advise me at the first moment whether or not any of these of ficers have in any way been influenced by any political or other purpose, to defeat directly or indirectly the purposes for which they were designated. If it appear that the charges have the slightest foundation in fact, upon a statement to this effect from you these men will be dis missed. I have not at any time nor in any place sought in any way to interfere with the na tional will nor will T allow it to be done by any one in this Commonwealth. You will please give this mat ter thecareful attention its grav ity warrants and hasten to me your conclusions. Yours very respectfully, (Signed) M. G. BRUMBAUGH. Major W. G. Murdock, the state's chief draft officer, declared this morning that his visit of two days to Philadelphia was not made for the purpose of conducting an exhaustive investigation into the afTairs of the draft boards in that city, but solely to ascertain reasons for the low reg istration of aliens and to straighten out a few questions which had arisen relative to classification of married men. "I have spent some time working on the alien registration matter and will make a report to Adjutant Gen eral Beary, whom I understand will lie here Monday," said he. "There are some other matters which will be re ported on in connection with draft operations and conduct of boards. That is all there is to say at this time." Major Murdock said that he did not expect to make any report to the Governor and did not have ac knowledge of the letters issued last night by Governor Brumbaugh. "They are matters about which I was not consulted," said he. The major was immersed the greater part of the day with routine matters which had accumulated in his absence and in preparation of bis report on low registration of i liens. He declined to discuss the letters of the Governor or the report that additional inspectors would be put to work in some districts in Philadelphia where many deferred classifications have ben granted.
