Army and Navy
Induction Pool
Permits Choices
AII-Service Draft
To Go Into Effect
On Monday

Draft-age men will start going to
induction stations Jointly operated
by the Army and Navy Monday
when the all-service draft goes into
effect.
The long-awaited announcement
of procedure in filling the calls of
the Army, Navy Marine Corps and
Coast Guard was announced yester-
day by the Selective Service Bureau
of the War Manpower Commission.
1t allows men to volunteer for in
duCtion ahead of their order num-
bers. indicating the choice of serv-
ice they prefer, and in general per-
mits registrants to express prefers
enCeS.
A method has also been worked
out to give all services an equal
opportunity to get men of the
same physical standards, although
the Army may accept some regis
trants whose minor physical defects
prevent them from meeting the
standards agreed on by all services.
The new single set of standards is
higher than that now applied by
the Army.
Single, Combined Calls.
Under the new program, Army
and Navy acquisitions will be COM
bined in Selective Service National
Headquarters and each call placed
on the States and local boards will
be a combined single call for a
stated number of men.
RegistrantS will be>sent to jointly
operated induction stations where
they will be physically examined by
Army and Navy personnel. Men who
meet the physical standards agreed
on by both services will be assigned
proportionately, whether the call is
| filed or not.
AS explained by Selective Serv-
ice, if in the combined call the
Army asked for 10000 men and the
Navy for 10000, and only four
| f1fths of that number, or 10000
registrants met the physical re-
| quirements, the Army would be as
! signed $4,000 men, or four -fifths of
| its original request, while the Navy
would be assigned $4,000 men, or
| four -fifths of its call.
This apportionment, it was ex-
planned, applies only to the men who
meet the single set of. physical
standards agreed on by both serv-
ices. The Army may accept men
with minor defects after the appor-
tionment Of general service men on

nounced today, each child who can
will be asked to bring IL cents a day
one penny for half-pint of milk
and II cents for lunch. Those who
cannot bring the money will con-
tinue to get the lunch and milk free
The system Of payment will permit
the program to continue for three

planned by some schools daily-and
by others once each week.
We are doing it as tactfullv as

no different from those who do"
Commissioner Mason made the
hrst announcement of the new sys-

children unable to pay anything OF
obtaining the needed milk and
lunch"

lunches and by cutting down from
4700 to 1000 the number receiving
the lunches, he said, can the lunch
program be carried for three more
months.

said, and the figures compiled will
be used as a basis for requests fol
Lanham Act funds and possibly fol
a separate congressional appropria
ton.
Only the needy children should re-
ceive free" lunches, Mr.. Mason con-
tinued, but the Commissioners and
school officials do not wish to cut
off the lunches for children whose
parents are employed and cannot
prepare their lunch at home. Fol
these children, he said, the system
of l2-cent payment is especially in
tended.
