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.

special sales meeting of the em
ployes of the local agency held last
evening, at which addresses were
