Draft Lottery

nations new draft lottery was Ak
ed today for March list. Pat

And there will be green capsules
to hold the numbers that will de-

100000 and 100000 more men
will be subjected to call for posi-
BILE military service.
The completion of arrangements
for the lottery so quickly after the
Feb 16 registration date bespoke
an official determination to have
this new reservoir OF manpower
ready to meet war demands With
the least possible delay.
There was an indication too, that
some of the latest registrants
might get their call to the colors
relatively soon. Selective service
officials limited at that when they
said new registrants need not ex-
pect a call for about two months
after the lottery.
The lottery-the first wartime
draft drawing here since 1917
will be conducted in much the same
