cards were being received here and
there among the local boards. They
were being shuffled, numbered and
tackled onto the lists already posted.
Cards received after the lottery
tomorrow will be numbered serially
and sliced in the order number list
at the same point where the serial
numbers would have appeared had
they been received on time. Hence,
there will be no advantage nor dis
advantage to registrant simply be-
cause he unavoidably registered
after the lottery or because his card
became temporarily misplaced.

tention of draft boards in nearby
Maryland and Virginia was the COM
piling of supplemental lists of reg
istration cards still to be received
from outside jurisdictions.

in from the Offices of Gov. O'Conor
of Maryland and Gov. Price of Vir-
ginia, many from the District draft
headquarters, but some from States

trants, believed to be one of the
highest in the country. The board
with the smallest number of regis
