Smith, medical officer, attached to the State SelectiVe Service Board.
 The volume of physical standards established by the Selective Service Regulations was distributed to the medical examiners who will be at attached to the draft boards. These regulations provide the standards examiners must follow and are sin1i- lar to those set up for inducing men into the regular Army and Navy.
 Men to be acceptable under the draft must be physically fit for the rigors of general service, they must be able to see well: have compara- lively good hearing, have heart able to withstand the stress ot physical eXertion; be intelligent enough to understand and execute military manoeuvers; obey com mands and protect themselves. In addition, the man for the training army will be expected to be able to transport himself by wolking as the exigencies of military life may demand. The objective is to pro- cure men who are physically 1t Tor various types of military service.

 He related how persons being called before the grand jury were always photographed entering and leaving and that the grand jurys report was given to the press and radio even before the accused them
