In a relentless crackdown on draft dodgers, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been nailing would-be evaders with ease. Thousands of men, desperate to avoid military duty, have tried every trick in the book – changing their names, moving around the country, and even hiding in the deep woods. But the FBI has been one step ahead, and now many of these delinquents are paying the price with lengthy prison sentences.
According to sources, the FBI has been employing a range of tactics to catch these draft dodgers, from the dragnet technique to more sophisticated methods. One rule, introduced early this year, requires men to carry their registration and classification cards at all times. Police have been stopping and questioning men, asking to see these cards, and anyone who fails to produce them is swiftly arrested and jailed.
The big delinquency roundup is now in full swing, with the combined efforts of selective service, the FBI, and United States attorneys. Delinquents face induction or prosecution in short order, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for them to evade responsibility to serve their country.
As the war effort intensifies, the authorities are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of draft dodgers. With the maximum sentence of five years hanging over their heads, many of these men are now realizing that trying to avoid military duty was a recipe for disaster.
The FBI’s efforts have been nothing short of impressive, and the message is clear: attempting to dodge the draft will not be tolerated. Those who think they can outsmart the system will find themselves facing the full force of the law.
