Benson Ford
On Way TO Army

Benson Ford, 21-year-old son OF
Edsel Ford, reported for induction
into the United States Army this
morning along with group OF
draftees from Macomb County
Board No. 2.

striped shirt and carrying a can
vas duffle beg. Ford reported to
the draft headquarters in Rose

the other selectees in four buses

lectee assigned to the bus seat be-
side him, William ". Rosen. 26,

and the others were lined up, told
they would not be permitted 10
leave the center except for "ex-
ceptional reasons" and were
started through the induction rou-
tine.
Whether Ford will be indicted
into the army depends on the re-
suits of the physical examination

center. Once placed in a deferred
classification because Of an eye
defect, his draft board later re-
versed this decision and placed
him in Ia.
Members of the board said at
the time that they felt the army

there would never be any question
about his status. His brother.
