week by state selective service Off
Gals.
AS stepped-up draft machinery in
the states ten local boards, CO.
operating with national headquar-
ters in Washington, planned the in
tegration Of new men with those of
the first registration last October,
it was predicted that men with high
order numbers might receive ques-
tionnaires before the end of this
month.
Mailing of Photographic copies of
the master list of numbers drawn
last Thursday night has begun,
with copies going. to each of the
$500 local draft boards in the
nation.
Elsewhere in the nation some Sc
lective service officials estimated
that men holding 1856, 9S, 451 and
247, the first four numbers called,
might be inducted as early as the
third week in August.
Next Call In August
In Delaware one official said
there would be a heavy call for men
on August Z, 8, 9. This call would
probably AFFECT only men of the
first registration. But, he said, If |
the Army issued an unexpected |
call before that time or between
that time and the expected Sep
tember order, 1t might be neces-
sary to choose men from the new
lists. He stressed the fact that in
my event some junior registrants

ected by last Thursdays drawing
