November Draft Quota
OF 342 May Dig Deep
Into Age z Bracket

An official quota of 342 re-
cruits to be furnished by District
draft boards has been set to help
meet the National quota of
10000 draftees for November,
officials said today. A total of 500
others are to be drafted through
october.
Virginia's November quota was
set at 1.491 and Maryland's at
1,013.
Frank D. Norton, deputy draft
chief for the District, said he ex-
poets draft boards will reach
more than half the available %
year-olds to attain the November
figure. Men % and % years old
already are being sent for physi-
cal and mental tests.
The official noted that, in
reaching the lower age groups,
the problem of student defer
ments will become more serious.
QUO Early 0cglStratlOu.
In the first month of mental
and physical examinations of
District men, it was reported, the
District had a rejection rate of
about so per cent. From July "a
through August 25, only 485 men
were found acceptable out of a
total of 1,196 examined.
DR.. Norton reiterated concern
expressed by other draft officials
about the high number of turn
downs because of failure to pass
the mental qualification tests.
OF the TIL men rejected, 116
were turned down because of fail
ure to pass the mental tests as
well as for some physical disabil-
tty. 1t was pointed out, however,
that the disabilities alone would
have been sufficient to reject the
men.
Most Holding Jobs.
Mr.. Norton said most of the
men who failed the mental tests
are holding jobs which enable
them to make living in civilian
life.
Il, for one, feel definitely most
Of these men also should be able
to make their way in military life,"
he said.
Much the same feeling has been
expressed by other officials, and
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee has
served notice that his group in
tended to look into the high re-
lection rates by the armed forces.
Meanwhile, five Maryland men
were inducted into the Army at
the Arlington Farms Center yes
terday. They are James E. Por-
ter, 1902 Forty-ninth avenue, Ed
monSton: Lawrence S. House, 6216I
Forty-third street, Hyattsville;
Luke B. Edwards, 1913 Wallace
road, Brentwood; William j. Cecil.
jr.. 4004 Madison street, Hyatts-
vile, and Leonard j. Smith, Belts
vile.
One Washington man, Earl
Smith. 408 Oakdale place NV.
also was inducted. He had been
scheduled for induction with the
Districts first contingent on We'd
nesday, but reported late.
On another part of the man
power front yesterday, the Air
Force announced the calling up
"in the near future" of four fight
er-bomber groups and one tactical
reconnaissance group of the Air
National Guard.
Designations of the units were
not disclosed, but an estimated
5000 to $500 men are involved.
The groups are equipped with
about $50 planeS-F-47 Thunder
bolts, F-51 Mustangs and F-84 Jets.
Col. Asher w. Harman. State
Selective Service chief, said that
Virginia may have to dip into the
20-year-old group to provide its
total three-month quota of 1868
by December /.
It was estimated that MARYLAND
would have to draft some 81
year-olds to make it's November
quota.

Universal Military Troininq

May I express my very hearty ap-
probation of your editorial "We Missed
the Boat" appearing in your issue Of
July 25? In my judgment you have
sounded keynote, and hope very much
your interest in the subject of universal
military training will prompt you to fol-
low up your very logical observation.

No Time for Handouts

Through it's national commander the Amer
ican Legion has backed up its call for an end to
non-essential Federal spending by pledging that
for the duration of the present grave crisis it will
not seek or support legislation for new veterans
bonuses pensions or other benefits This is a
timely declaration and the example it sets should
be emulated in word and deed, by all other
groups that have been pressing Congress for
special Government largess.
The Legion's past position has been in
support of veterans proposals that would cost
billions of dollars. What the position
promises is that all such proposals will be kept
on the shelf until we have something like
decent world peace. 1t is position that should
be taken by every individual and organization
looking for special benefits With vastly
increased military spending, mounting debt and
developing inflationary pressures, the Nation
simply cannot afford to play the role of Lady
Bountiful dispensing lavish handouts.
AS the Legion has declared, that kind of
non-essential spending must be thrown over
board" and real effort made to reduce other
types of nom military outlays. In this time of
crisis, the demands on our economy are too
immense to leave margin for unneeded hand
outs Short of an outright military attack, few
things could be more harmful to our system
than reckless luxury expenditures by the Gov
ernment. They must be held rigidly in check
for the safety of the Nation.
