Army Asks For
$4,000 FOur-Fs

Washington, Feb. 20-The nations
draft boards began combing their
registration lists today for younger
4-F's to meet the army's critical
need for occupation troops.
The army, admitting defeat in its
efforts to obtain fully fit men, asked
selective service to funnel $4,000
physical rejects into uniform by the
end of April.
These will be in addition to the
$4,000 men a month the army has
requested from the draft system to
meet it's discharge program and still
retain a strength of 100000 men
on June 80.
The 4-F's for the most part will
be taken from the ranks of nom
fathers between the ages of 18 and
25 who previously qualified for
limited service but were not taken
because of overflowing quotas.
The draftees also will include
some with physical disabilities at
present deferred for agriculture and
occupational reasons.
The army admitted the new order
would lower efficiency and result in
a larger percentage of disability dis
charges but it said there was no al
tentative. 1t was pointed out that
the army must have 100000 draf-
tees during the first five months of
the year.
! Meanwhile, the army air forces
announced that it would release ap-
proximately 100000 officers and en-
listed personnel by next July /, leav-
ing it with a force of 100000 men
