District Guard Packs
Equipment for Trip

. FORT MILES, Del, July a.
District National Guard troops
here today are packing their field
equipment in preparation for re-
turning home tomorrow. The
question uppermost in the minds
Of both officers and men is how
long they will remain there.
While reports from the I'd
Army field inspectors, who have
had them under close observa-
ton for two weeks, indicate that
they have made excellent prog
ress, they will need additional
field training in the event they
are modified.
The troops are not divisional
units. Reports from Washington
have indicated that the Guard
would be called out by battalions
and special units as needed. This
officers believe, points to the
strong probability that they will
be among those early taken into
the service.
The only formal exercise OF the
day was a parade and review Of

Local Boards
Not Required 10
Screen SeIectee
High Percentage
Of Droft Reflections
PurtIy Due to Haste
By l. Edqor Primo

Local draft boards are not re-
quired to screen registrants for
physical and mental defects before
ordering them up for Army pre-
induction examinations, National
Selective headquarters said today.
The headquarters statement
was part Of a reply to a query by
The Star on the high percentage
Of selectee reflections.
"A local board may. if a mar
has an obvious defect, direct him
to its medical adviser for an inter-
view and then classify him after
a recommendation by the adviser,
an official declared.
"But there is nothing in the Law
or regulations that says the boarc
must look over the registrant," h,
added. "It's a matter OF judg.
ment."
The present draft law (Selectiv,
Service Act of 1948, as extended
1950) differs from the wartim,
measure on this point. Under tn,
earlier act. registrants wer,
screened by a draft board docto,
before pre-induction examina.
tions.
Some military officials point ou
this is one Of the reasons the per.
centage Of Army reflections ap.
pears to be abnormally high.
(Col. Henry c. Stanwood,
State Selective Service director
of Maryland, said yesterday re-
jections there are running about
IS per cent?
Another reason listed is that
many of the "a and 25-year -olds
now being called up already had
failed Army physicals, either as
selectees during the war or since
the 1948 law. There is no place on
the draft board form to state
whether a man has been turned
down for service.
The question of reflections has
been cropping up on the heels of
reports of gripping from the mill
tary about the waste of money,
time and effort-both the Sc
lectee's and the Governments
these obvious units involve when
they report.
The most economical thing
would be for them to be screened
out by the draft boards, the critics
say.
When the Hyattsville (Md.)
contingent Of % men reported to
the Arlington Farms induction
and examination station Thurs
day, there were two cripples among
them. They were Immediately ex-
cused, to be reported as unit for
service. They were kept at the
station to await return transporta-
ton and were provided with lunch.
Commenting on the situation,
T. Earl Bourne, chairman Of the
draft board, said
neither he nor his colleagues had
seen the men before they left. The
selectees were taken from the top
Of the la list, which had been
made up many months before.
The medical adviser had not seen
them.
Mr.. Bourne pointed out the
board is overloaded with work and
only recently obtained a single
full-time clerk to help handle the
records of the boards 5000 reg
iStrants.
1--WE are doing our best with
what little we have. just like the
boys in Korea" Mr.. Bourne de-
clared.
The plight of local boards is
well understood by national head
quarters and the armed services
Spokesman for both voiced the
view that, once things get under
way and the bugs are ironed out
there won't be any more cripples
reporting for examinations.
