RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION
AT FT. WORTH, TEXAS
On Apr1l 15, 1968, Mr.l lchief,
Reference Service Branch, Federal Records Center, made avall-
able the U. s. Attorney's, Eastern Distr1ct of Louis1ana, File
#12974, 1n Federal Records Center Conta1ner #12106, on HENRY
CHARLES BUKOWSKI, JR., which disclosed the follow1ng pertinent
information:
b6
On June 21, 1944, Mrs.l I
Chief Clerk, b7C
Local Draft Board #2, New Orleans, Louisiana, submitted a
letter to the U. S. Attorney's Off1ce, New Orleans, Lou1s1ana,
ask1ng for ass1stance 1n getting Reg1strant BUKOWSKI exam1ned
by a Med1cal Advisory Board. This letter further adv1sed
the Registrant was reJected for M1l1tary Serv1ce on July 2,
1943, by reason of "Military Unsuitable Group 5". Pr1or to
report1ng, he advised Local Draft Board #2 by letter that he
d1d not have any 1ntentions of reporting for induct1on due to
his personal philosophy, and wanted to know JUSt what act1on
Local Draft Board #2 would take 1n v1ew of that 1nformat1on.
Local Draft Board #2 adv1sed him unless he reported,the matter
would be handled by the U. S. Attorney's Off1ce, New Orleans.
For several months following his reJect1on, the case
was not re-opened, but after the med1cal survey program was put
into effect, Local Draft Board #2, endeavored to have h1m
exam1ned by a Phychiatr1st, 10 order to determine if Registrant
was a malingerer.
On March 15, 1944, Local Draft Board #2, had been
unsuccessful 1n locat1ng Reg1strant at any of the various address-
es that was furnished to Local Draft Board #2. All ma1l was
returned "Uncla1med". Last address was Ph1ladelph1a, Pennsylvan1a.
On June 27, 1944, this case was referred to the FBI
Off1ce, New Orleans, Lou1siana, by the U. S. Attorney's Off1ce,
New Orleans, for 1nvestigat1on.
On August 7, 1944, the Reg1strant was exam1ned by
Armed Service Forces, Armed Forces Induct1on Station, 32nd
Street and Lancaster Avenue, Phlladelphia, Pennsylvania, by
I I Captain, Q.M.C. Induct1on Off1cer and was found
to be physically and mentally d1squal1f1ed for mil1tary service
and rejected for "Failing To Meet Medical Standards."
