Out on Receipt Of
Master Sheets

More than 1000 District selective
service eligibles will have answered
questions for classification within
two weeks, 1t was estimated today
when copies of the master order
number sheets-the Federal go
ahead" signal - appeared forth
coming before the end of the day.
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, the
city's selective service executive,
said the Is local draft boards are
ready to begin making up their
order number lists Immediately on
receipt of the master copies.
1t was believed probable that the
boards would begin mailing ques-
tionnaires to registrants, beginning
at the top of the order number list,
by the week end at the rate of about
so missionaries per board each
day without waiting until their entire
order number lists are completed.
The latter process is expected to
require about six days.
Five-day Return Limit.
Regulations require the filling out
of the 8-page forms within five days
after receipt. Thus, the boards
should be in position to start re-
viewing questionnaires and classify
ing the top order number regis
trants by next week end.
The District should be the first
In the country to begin classification
operations as the master order list
copies were to be mailed from Ma
tional Selective Service Headquar-
tiers here.
Gen. Cox said he expected that the
master lists could be transmitted to
the local boards here by tomorrow
morning, probably before a sched-
uled meeting of clerks of the Is Dis
trict boards at 10 m. at the National
Guard Amory.
The Registrars Advisory Board
of five members and 48 associates,
headed by Spencer Gordon, will be
ready to assist regiStrantS in filling
out queStiOnnaireS once the forms
are mailed out, Mr. Gordon said
today, adding that the board men,
bers and associates probably will
meet within the next two days to
discuss in detail plans for their
organization.

the board were announced today.

for members of the important Board

sibly today. Local officials said a
