II 1t is adopted, Leitch said.
Army physical standards have
been lowered to permit reclassifica-

lngs, Leitch said.
The regrouping will subject the
reclassified men to recent stabiliza-

registrant will be drafted if he

ing permission of his local board,
Leitch said.
HOW RULE WORKS
Under lowered army physical
standards, selective service now is
authorized to induct any registrant
who does not have an obvious physi-
cal defect, he said, pointing out that
only per cent of the 143 900 men in
4-F have such defects.
In addition to the $4,000 approxi-
