Although the possibility of a joint

lit passed the Draft Act. Congress
decided no registrant could be in
Quoted unless he got at least a 10
in the test. Top score is 1853, but
you can be almost certain you
won't get it.
That test takes As minutes, after
which you get a break" long
enough for smoke, but not long
enough for much more. Then
comes screening" test. You're
asked % questions like Can you
sleep at night?" or do your hands
shake enough to bother you?"
That's to weed out the obvious
misfits.
The physical exam is next. At
most pre-induction stations you will
have to go somewhere else for your
physical, maybe to a nearby hos
pital. The physical takes exactly
IS minutes. It's been timed. And
after it you get fed by the Army. A
free lunch.
Following that comes a chest
X-ray. This may be given at still
q third place. 1t takes about As
minutes to X-ray Is registrants.
One Of the stations visited gives
general classification test and
screening" test at the station,
physical exam at a nearby Army
camp and X-rays at still another
place. The Army, of course, pro-
vides all transportation.
After the x-ray you're through,
except in possibly rare cases where
special dope Is needed in a particu-
lar instance. But you can just
about count on being through after
the chest X-ray. ~.

I can almost promise that you'll
find something at your pre-induc.
ton physical examination station
which you aren't bargaining for
That Is, believe 1t or not, a genuine
friendliness.
At least if directives from Wash.
ington Army headquarters and
visits I've made to these pre-.
induction stations point the way
throughout the country, you will
find friendly atmosphere.
Pre-induction exams will mean
to working registrants the loss of al
least one days pay unless the boss
happens to overlook your absence.
It takes almost a day to do the
things you have to do. The pattern
may vary bit from place to place
but here is a quick sketch Of what
to expect:
You get to your pre-inductior
station about 8:15 am. It might
be 8 in some places, or maybe 8:45
If you have to 60 outside your home
town to get there Selective Service
will give you the word on transpor-
tation, plus round-trip ticket ano
meal tickets.
Well say you report at S:15. AT
$3.50 a sergeant calls the roll of all
registrants who are supposed to
report that day.
Then an officer of the recruiting
station gives a little "orientation

going to do, what's going to be
done to you, etc.

cation test. That's the test Con-

Hearing on Benedict
Ocean PORT Proposal
Scheduled Friday

A hearing to determine whether
the Patuxent River should be
dredged to make Benedict, Md, a
deep water port will be held at $50
am. Friday at the Office of the
District Engineer, First and Douglas
tstreets NV.
| Consideration Of this phoject fol-
lows an adverse report last year on
proposal to deepen the Potomac
channel from "a to IS feet to permit
all but the largest ocean-going ships
to reach Washington.
No particular demand for the
PatuXent River deepening has de-
veloped so far, according to the Dis
trict Engineers Office. 1t is believed
that such an enterprise would in
volve about six or seven miles OF
the river.
Would Be 400 Feet Wide.
The present channel depth varies
from % to 80 feet; a uniform depth
of 80 feet is proposed. 1t would
have to be about 400 feet wide to
accommodate large ships.
Hearings on deepening the chan
mel to Washington were held in May,
1916. A representative of the Prince
William (MdD Chamber of Com
merce contended three large indus
trial developments would be estab-
lished In the county if deep water
would enable receipts OF shipments
of raw materials from South Amer
lea.
The American Merchant Marine
Institute also indorsed the project
It said oil could be shipped to
Washington in To tankers II the
channel were deepened.
The Washington Board Of Trade
testified, however, it had been un-
able to find any concern here dis
satisfied with the present channel
Distance Figures Provided.
The District Engineers Office made
public these distance figures as
pertinent to the Benedict channel
proposal:
BY water-Norfolk to Washington
1876 miles; Norfolk to Benedict, 1876
miles; Baltimore to Benedict, 96
miles; Baltimore to Washington,
202 miles.
BY road-Baltimore to Washing
ton, 43 miles; Benedict to Washing
ton, 38 miles.
Ocean going vessels bound for
Washington or Benedict would have
to pass Norfolk; Benedict Is nearer
that port. Vessels coming up
Chesapeake Bay probably would 60
to Baltimore as well as one of the
other ports; Benedict is closer to
Baltimore.
Shipments reaching Washington
by highway would have a shorter
distance for transit from Benedict
than from Baltimore.

them out of work. The mill had

some 100 individual dwellings and

Welcome Is Sci

In Lynchburg
Stotes' Rights Party
Gets Strong Support
From Politicians
By John v. Horner
Stor StoH Correspondent

LYNCHBURG, Va, Oct. 11.-Un-
less all signs fail, Gov. Thurmond
of South Carolina will be greeted
by his most sympathetic Virginia
audience to date when he delivers
a major campaign address here to-
night.
Arriving late today by plane from
Columbia, S. c., the States Rights
candidate for President will be met
and feted by leaders of the con-
trolling Democratic organization be-
fore his speech at the spacious city
armory.
Lynchburg is the center of con-
servative Piedmont Virginia. The
public seldom turns out en- masse
for political rallies. The Thur
mond supporters, therefore. will be
satisfied, they said today, if 900
persons gather for the speech.
Caiber of Backing Watched.
More important to the States
Rights Democrats is the caliber of
the local backing. The hackers in
clude most of the Democrats who
are doing anything at all in this
election. If these leaders produce
the votes they have in the past,
Lynchburg and the surrounding
counties may give Gov. Thurmond
Q welcome majority on November 2.
The candidate learned Saturday
at Williamsburg that former Sena-
tor Thomas G. Burch of Martins
vile had indorsed his candidacy,
the first high-ranking member of
the Byrd-Tuck organization to
do so. -
In Lynchburg Gov. Thurmond
will find supporter with a magic
political name, Carter Glass, jr
The son of the late United States
Senator-and himself a former
Thurmond tonight.
No Opposition From Committee.
Eighteen of the 80 members of
the Lynchburg City Democratic
Committee are actively working for
Gov. Thurmond. The rest are doing
nothing to hurt him.
Mr.. Glass said today that the city
will give a tremendous majority"
to the States Rights ticket over
President Truman and Gov. Dewey.
He also said he expected the neigh
boring counties of Amherst, Nelson,
Bedford, Appomattox, Charlotte and
Halifax to be in the Thurmond COL
umn.
Halifax will be solid for Thur
mond," he said.
This is the home county of Gov.
Tuck and, for political purposes,
Appomattox could just as well be
named Byrd.
Papers Take No Stand.
The two Lynchburg newspapers,
long owned by the Glass family,
have taken no editorial stand for
any candidate. Carter Glass, jr.,
declined to say whether they would.
But you can be certain of one
thing" the publisher added. '"The
papers won't indorse Truman"
Although he has taken no public
stand, State Senator Mosby G.
Perrow, jr., a Byrd organization
stalwart. will be in the welcoming
party for Gov. Thurmond. So viii
Mayor Clarence Burton, the DEM
ocrats' 9Th District nominee for

islature, who announced early in
the campaign that he would vote
for President Truman, has confided
to friends that he regrets" the
statement. The legislator is not
now running for Office.
During his stay here Gov. Thur
mond will address the students of
