Teen-Age Registration
Adds $500 Youths
To D. T.. Draft Rolls
FinoI Figures Fall
500 Short of Total
Expected by OfficioIs

Approximately $500 youths have
been added to the District draft
rolls through the registration of 18-
year-olds last month, District draft
headquarters reported yesterday.
The final figures fell 500 short of
the expected registration and 1000
short of what could be estimated on
the basis of June 80 registrants, it
was said.
In estimating the registration
total, draft officials figured 10 per
cent of the youths would have en-
listed before the registration during
the last three weeks of December.
Apparently the enlistments shrunk
this pool of manpower far beyond
estimates, although few registration
cards have as yet been received
from other cities for District youths
who registered elsewhere.
Actually, a total of 2,5l4 youths,
all Of whom reached their 18th
birthday after June 30, 1912, regis
tered here. OF this total, 122 youths
were from out-of town and those
cards are being sent to their home
cities. Draft officials expect as
many cards will be sent here from
other cities.
Excluding q registration cards
belonging to local draft boards but
still in transit from District draft
headquarters, here are the regis
tration figures by draft boards:

Navy Plans 70 Accept

General Classification
Lists Remain Closed,
Gen. Hershey Says

A limited number of volunteers
for special service will be accepted
by the Navy now although its doors
are closed to volunteers for general
service, Maj Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
notified draft boards yesterday.
1t was understood that the selec-
tive service chiefs wire was sent
out to enable the Navy recruiting
men it needed for specific jobs al
though, generally, the Navy still has
a backlog of more men than it can
place in training stations.
At the same time, there were in
dications that the Navy would fol-
low the Marines in taking voluntary
inductees in the near future, prob
ably on exhaustion of the list of
men who volunteered before the
halt order on enlistments.
Individuals sought by the Navy
for special jobs, Gen. Hershey told
Draft Boards, will be given a letter
from Navy recruiting officer ad-
dressed to local draft board
requesting the mans voluntary
induction.
The Navy, it was explained, does
not want Draft Boards to refuse to
send on to recruiting stations the
men it specifically wants. Boards
previously had been instructed to
hold all applications for the Navy
until further notice. This still APP
plies except in special cases.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Yugoslav
government in exile announced to-
night a new cabinet in which the
number OF ministers was reduced
and Premier Slobodan Jovanoyich
assumed the duties of Monticello
Nincic, who resigned as foreign
minister.

Navy and Air Force with Jovano-
vich' acting as the generals repre-
sentative in London while he carries
on warfare against the Germans

No comment was available on re-
ports that the reorganization was
undertaken to disprove any idea
that the government was anti

became known that changes were
being made a spokesman denied

Survey Of Nurses
Planned as Move TO
Relieve Shortage
Nationwide Inventory
To Be Conducted by
Health Service

An inventory to.estimate the total
nursing resources Of the country,
the number of student nurses needed
and other factors to relieve the
acute nursing shortage will be
started here tomorrow.
Every graduate registered nurse
throughout the country will be
mailed a post card by State agents
for the inventory, appointed for the
purpose by the Public Health Serv-
ice. The agent here is Edith M
Beattie, executive secretary of the
District Nursing Council for War
Service
Miss Beattie said every effort will
be made to obtain an accurate and
complete report OF the available
horsepower of the country. Hos
pitfalls, doctors, health services, nurs-
ing organizations, individual nurses
and the public generally are being
asked to cooperate in bringing to
the attention of the nurses this op-
portunity to state their willingness
to serve their country either in
the armed forces or in a civilian
capacity.
Message From McNutt.
Nurses who do not receive a sur
vey card by January Is were urged
to write Miss Beattie at 1746 K
street NV. and request one.
The questionnaires, in addition to
requesting information on the avail
ability of the nurses, carry this
statement from Chairman Paul v.
McNutt of the War Manpower
Commission:
The nursing shortage is urgent,
both at home and on the fighting
fronts. Today there is only one
place for the graduate registered
nurse to be-that is, on active nurs-
ing duty.
That means all nurses. whether
married or single, whether eligible
for service with the armed forces
or retired. There is a place for
every nurse. Lives may depend
on how quickly you respond to
this call"
Data to Be Sent Here.
Completed missionaries will be
held in local areas. Tabulations OF
data, however. will be sent to the
State agents who will forward COM
plete tabulations to the Public
Health Service.
Once national figures are assem-
bled, it will be possible to estimate
types of auxiliary helpers should be
placed and what ratio of nurses to
population Is available.
