Clarkson in Washington, D.C., to the Alabama Council of Defense, asks the state and local councils of defense to continue assisting efforts to apprehend deserters. Clarkson states that desertion will "cripple execution of plans for well regulated demobilization" and negatively impact morale. A circular from Lloyd M. Hooper, chairman of the Alabama Council of Defense, urges the counties to comply with Clarkson's message. |
