NEW ARMY RULES MAY LET
MORE SELECTS BY MEDICOS

Medical examination Of class one
men in the selective draft classifica-
ton has been stopped suddenly, local
boards having received Monday after
noon and Tuesday morning instruc-
tons to that effect The new orders
came on the heels OF a telegram in
structing the boards to proceed with
the examinations as rapidly as posi-
Bile. as men would be needed at an
early date to fill gaps in the first
quotas.
The opinion was expressed in selec-
tive draft offices Tuesday that the in
structions to stop examinations mean
that more lenient medical rules are
to be promulgated at an early date.
Heretofore. men having flat feet" or
similar trifling physical defects, have
been rejected and the expectation IS
that these rules Will be modified. in
order that more Of class one men
might be available.
