FLAT FEET ARE NO BAR

Washington, Aug. 22.-Flat feet
do not necessarily disqualify man
for army service. Provost Marshal
General Crowder, in telegram 70
state governors today, called. attenS
ton to army physical regulations
which specify that "a broad, flat
sole is common in laboring classes,
particularly among negroes, and is il
no way disabling"
In the flat foot which renders q
man unfit for service" the regula-
tions explain, "the arch is SO far
gone that the entire border rests up
on the ground, with the inner ankle
lowered and very prominent, and the
foot apparently pushed outward"
General CrOwder said in his tele-
gram that there would be less ne
cessity for the multitude of questions
asked by local boards if they would
observe the provisions of the physi-
cal regulations that physical def
ciencies "must be present in such de-
gree as to clearly and Enthusiastically
.disqualify the man for military SER
vice before he can be found to be
physically deficient and not physically
qualified for military service"
