Registration Master
 Copies Mailed States
They Will Be Printed By Tons in Each State-FOrnls
 Questions Being Prepared for Years

board sent matrices, from which printing press plates are cast. For others, printed forms were furnish ed from which photostats will be made.
 Preparing For Years
 The forms and questions have been in preparation for years by the selective service committed consist ing of army and navy officials but the final version en route to the states today was consistently alter ed by the fact that conscription. in. stead of being wartime measure, was a peace precaution.
 The exact questions on the regis tration forms have not yet been made public but they were expected to be similar to those on the old form. That form called only for name, address, date of birth, em- ployer,s name and address, citizen ship status and name of persons ale ways knowing the registrant's ad- dress, plus short physical descrip- ton.
 One Car Got Lost
 eThe reason for asking the states to print the registration cards, was an experience of the selective service board during the World War. A car- load of registration forms was sent to western state. It became mis- placed on a siding and was still there when the war ended.
 For the 16,500,000 registrants, 32,- 000,000 registration cards - almost two to one-will be printed, eas well as 24,0O0, 900 certificates of registra- tion and 24,000,00 questionnaires The QueStionnaires which will not be distributed until after regiStra- tion day-are still being formulated.
 On registration each registrant will receive booklet telling him just what steps he must take to comply with the law and preserve his rights.
 Navy officials indicated that their representatives in the draft organ ization would be chiefly passive and that first conscripts would have. no opportunity to choose naval train- ing.
 Navy Must Double '
 Though the navy must double its personnel to man the projected two ocean fleet, its training facilities will not permit the acceptance of one- year men at present. It will continue to take six-year volunteers. The four naval training stations, normally able to accommodate, 4,600 men a month are now taking 2 ,00U and .ul-
