Local draft boards were advised
, today which of four designated hos
pitals they will be expected to use
Friday night for physical examina-
tions of registrants to fill their
quotas for initial draft inductions
November 27 and %.
The following assignments were
announced by Brig Gen. Albert L.
Cox, selective service executive for
the District:
Emergency Hospital, classified
registrants of Draft Board Nos. l,
3, 8, 9. 10 and a.
Garfield Hospital, registrants of

Majority to Be Volunteers.
Local boards have been advised
TO have ready for examination by
Friday night five times the number
of men required in their respective
quotas for the first two inductions.
The majority of those to be exam
ined Friday night will be registrants
who have volunteered to be placed
at the top of order number lists, Of
f1cials explained, but large number
of prospective selectees who have
not volunteered will be examined.
The hospitals will be stated with
nine examining physicians each, to
-he named from the group of so ap-
pointed to serve in connection with
the local selective service program.
In addition, one chief examining
physician for each hospital will be
appointed by the four liaison officers
at selective service headquarters,
Gen. Cox said
The announcement made it clear
that in the event certain boards de-
sire certain of their registrants to
be examined in hospital other
than the one designated, there is no
objection to such arrangements be-
ing made"
The examinations are scheduled
for pm. Examining physicians
will be permitted to employ their
own assistants in the examinations.
although provision will be made to
have a sufficient number of clerks
at each of the four hospitals to aid
the doctors in making out reports
on the registrants, it was pointed
out.
Figures Released.
Figures showing the number of
volunteers at each of the local draft
boards indicated that several of
the boards will have to draft men
to fill their quotas under the first
inductions. while others probably
will be able to provide their shares
without drawing from the top order
number registrants.
Volunteer totals for each of the
boards were released last night by
local selective service Headquarters
following survey by haison Of
fcers yesterday.
A large percentage of volunteers
probably will be deferred because of
physical shortcomings, it is under
stood, and this means that in a case
where the volunteer total is not
exceptionally high at least one reg
istrant probably will have to be
drawn from the order list to fill
the boards quota.
The Districts quota for the No
vember 81 and % inductions is 81
men. There are approximately 16O
volunteers-those registrants who
have asked to be included in the first
calls regardless of their order num-
bers-but the bulk of this figure is
represented by less than half the
boards.
Volunteers and Quotas.
Volunteers for each of the draft
boards and their respective quotas
