Stutus of Men Needed

Government agencies which want
to send draft eligible men out of the
country CT for some other reason

request pre-induction physical ex-
amlnations for the men, District
seloctive service said today.
A draft spokesman SAID the pre-
induction tests are permitted where
a mans ability to pass the Army
physical examination is doubtful.

are not usually considered sufficient
reason to grant the re-induction

der-line cases are considered.
The men go through the usual
Fort Myer induction station physi-
cal examination after their local
board eXamlnati ton to determine
whether they will be able to pass the
Army test when regularly called.
The requests are submitted In
writing and passed on to the head
quarters of the Sd Service Com
mand, the draft spokesman said.
Few are permitted since facilities
are limited

ducIlon Army examinations for all
draft -clClblcs but selective service
has said that there are insufficient
doctors to give the final physicals
to all prospective selectees and that
mans physical condition may
change between the preinduction
examination and the induction
physical.
