Sets Order for
New Registrars
Lottery That Evening
Affecting $50, 900
To Take Two Hours

The sequence in which the some
100000 2l-year-old men who reg
istered under the Selective Service
Act July l are to be subject to call
for military training will be deter
mined Thursday night at the De-
partmental Auditorium here by the
drawing of numbers in capsules
from the historic goldfish bowl used
in the World War draft lottery and
the first Selective Service drawing
last October.
Ceremonies will be simpler than
the drawing in october when the
procedure lasted all afternoon and
far into the night. This time the
whole process is expected to be over
within two hours after the first
capsule is taken from the bowl at 7
o'clock
Only 300 capsules are to be drawn
Thursday night, as compared with
more than 5000 last fall when the
serial numbers of 16,5000 900 young
men were involved. The men af-
fected by this lottery are those who
have reached 21 since October Is.
To bring the bowl from Independ-
ence Hall, Philadelphia, Selective
Service headquarters announced last
night 1t will assign a detail from the
Legion National Guard of Honor
and q detail of United States special
police.
Trip to Be Made by Auto.
The trip from Philadelphia is to
be made by automobile and the
escort is expected to arrive in
Washington between 4 and S pm.
the day of the lottery. The bowl
is to be guarded by selective service
headquarters, Twenty-first and C
streets NV, until it is moved to
the Departmental Auditorium on
Constitution avenue between
Tewlfth and Fourteenth streets
NV, shortly before pm.
Numbers will be fixed by the same
system used in the previous LOTTERY
Local boards have, at random, put
reference numbers on cards of
those registered on July 1. Thus, if
serial No. 247 should be the first
number pulled from the bowl, regis
trants whose cards have been given
that number by local boards
throughout the country will be as
signed sequence No. l.
The new men are to be integrated
with the old in the order indicated
by their sequence numbers. II the
! proportion of new men to old on
a given boards list is l to S. the
21-year-old with sequence No.
would be placed on the list after the
first five old registrantS remaining
Sequence No. 2 man would be put
| in after the next five etc. with the
interval being determined in each
board by the ratio between its reg
| istration of new and old prospec-
tive trainees.
May Be Called Early.
This means, undoubtedly, that
many of the newcomers may be
called to duty at an early date,
particularly in view of recent orders
deferring all married men except
those who wed to avoid the draft
and all registrants over the age
of %
In another announcement last
night the local Selective Service
headquarters stated that nine white
and three colored registrants from
Washington are to report for in
