Future SeIectee Calls
To Be Made Direct
From Headquarters
Co-ordinoting Move
Will Speed Procedure;
$50 Inductees Listed

A co-ordinating move under which
future calls for selectees will be
made directly by national selective
service headquarters instead of
Army corps areas has just been
completed for use in September
acquisitions, it was learned today.
The administrative change, al
though it will mean additional work
for busy national headquarters, is
expected to increase greatly the
efficiency of man power machinery
set up by draft boards throughout
the country to supply selectees for
the expanding Army.
Ends Corps Area Step.
Under the new procedure the
War Department will send general
acquisitions for men to national Sc
]ective service headquarters and
these acquisitions will be appor-
toned in calls to the various States
according to their relative quotas.
Heretofore calls have been sent
out to the States by corps area
headquarters, neceSsitating an extra
step in the requisition process. An
nual quotas for the various States,
on which the calls are basel, have
been kept at national headquarters.
In addition to eliminating the
corps area step in making calls, the
new procedure is expected to operate
more smoothly because of the ready
access of progress reports on all
draft boards at national headquar-
tiers. Officials assigning calls will be
able to determine Immediately the
ability of a given area to furnish
men on the basis of reserve man
power shown on statistic sheets.
The statistics are received monthly.
