SerUice Men
 Protest Short Notice
Statement Issued by Selective Service Officer That No Pre-InductiOn Tests Are Given

Following Q statewide protest that draftees were being sent direct ly to Army camps when they thought they were merely reporting for physical examinations, Com mander John F. Robinson, State Di- rector of selective Service, an- nounced today that registrants in limited service are not afforded an- other pre-induction physical exam nation but inducted into the armed forces. Several of the 34 men who left for service from Waterbury last week claimed they did not know they were reporting for active serv- ice. Their draft notices, mailed ten days in advance, were headed "Or- der to Report for Induction"
 Commander Robinson added that these registrants were examined at the Induction Station some time ago and passed for limited service. Due to the fact that the armed forces quota for this classification was completed, these men were not inducted but set aside for the time being. The local boards temporarily reclassifled them to LAB or IV-F.
 Now that the war is over and the armed forces have lowered their physical standards, these men can be used to replace soldiers who are returning home. The War Depart ment has increased the quota for limited service registrants and, therefore, they are eligible for in- duction.
 A few of these men, the Com- mander added, have neglected to read their order for induction, which is entirely different from an order of preinduction, and are under the impression that they would be afforded another preinduction phy- sical examination and return home to learn their induction date. They must realize, he said, that at the time of their preinduction physical examination they were accepted by the armed forces but postponed for the time being until assignments were open for them.
 The Commander concluded that all registrants who have not served in the armed forces and are in doubt as to their status should con- tact their local board immediately.
