Grant Film,
BY JOHN TODD

\ HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 21.-Over
|at R-K-O there is a mad rush to
get From Here TO Victory" into
production. It's on Cary Grants
insistence.
Cary had expected to go into
the air corps after completing
"Once Upon a Honeymoon" with
Ginger Rogers.
Although Cary didn't want 10
do ii, government officials are
understood TO have suggested he
make From Here to Victory" be-
fore donning uniform because of
the pictures morale value. So
Cary wants to get the chore fin
ished as soon as possible so he can
go into service.
It's actually the story of a draft
dodger who finally realizes his
patriotic duty TO his country. At
the opening of the picture Cary
plays the operator of a gambling
barge, like those which once took
the public's money of the South
ern California coast.

Draft Call Improbable
For New Registrars
Here Before Midway
RecIussified Men Form
Large Pool, District
Boards Point Out

Local selective service now has
enough men to fill its quotas for
several months without calling any
of those who registered last week,
1t was leraned yesterday.
The large pool of old registrants
now available to local boards was a
result of reclassifying 2s-year-olds,
deferred for a time before the war,
and men previously deferred be-
cause of dental defects.
Selective service officials pre-
dicted that none of the new regis
trants would be called for a few
months" probably not before May
Boards Work Advanced.
With one or two exceptions, all
local boards in the District have
finished classifying old registrants
and are we'll on their way to COM
pleting reclassiflcation. Since the
order numbers of the registrants
who enrolled last week will not be
integrated in the old lists-as were
the order numbers of men who reg
istered last July-the local boards
are expected to draw as many men
as can be obtained from the old lists
before summoning any of the new
registrants to service.
Although the process of inducing
men can be speeded up if necessary,
the average time consumed is usually
between As to so days after ques-
tionnaires have been sent. With the
lottery set for mid-March, new reg
istrants, under ordinary conditions,
would not be indicted until the
middle of May. There were no i'm
mediate indications that the pro-
cess would have to be speeded up.
To Prepare for Drawing.
The local boards will meet on
March 8 to shuttle the registration
cards and number them serially.
They will then be ready for the
third national drawing OF the
emergency, which will determine the
order in which the men will be called
to duty.
Figuring on the time required for
preparing and sending the master
order lists to all local boards, local
selective service does not expect its
local boards to finish determining
order numbers before the end OF
March. Local boards will then
await orders from national selec-
tive service headquarters before
mailing out the questionnaires.
