Twenty-three more men have been
added to Ascension's quota for the
new army as result of the examina-
tions before the local exemption
board Thursday and Friday. This
was the number who successfully
| passed the rigid physical tests, and
| filed no claim for exemption or dis
charge. Thirty-nine were rejected
for physical disqualifications, and
forty-nine who were declared eligible
| by the medical examiners claimed ex-
emption. TWenty-three registrants
failed to report.
Among the men examined Friday
was one Of the ring-leaders in the re-
cent futile movement to hold an anti
draft meeting at Brittany. He meas
ured up to the physical requirements,
but entered a claim for exemption.

today. Two hundred men were sum-
moned in the second call, and in addi-
tion to the number needed to complete
