and the expectations were thar the

list ready for passing by Wednesday
1t being absolutely certain that
another batch Of names viii have to
be drawn i'm order to complete Mo
line quota the board has started to
compile another list for the second
call Just how many will 0s included
in the second call viii NOT be known
until those already exa mined have
been classified and the board de
tsrmines how many more are needed
At least twice the number needed to
fiji Adoline's quota viii be called At
noon today 81 Of the first lot had not
appeared for examination
