An alarming number of pre-.
draft registration youths have
been applying for draft registra
ton cards, District Selective Ser
vice officials disclosed last night.
Frank D. Norton, deputy draft
chief, said increasing reports Of
the practice have been made by
local draft board clerks. He saio
the reports have not been tabu-
lated.
But the number is sufficient,
he said, that !, am going to ask
school officials to announce
through the schools that regis
trants will have to furnish. some
evidence of their dates of birth
Must Register In 5 Days.
Youths are required to register
within five days after their eigh-
teenth birthdays. but are not sup
posed to register before reaching
that age.
Mr.. Norton said he felt most
of the premature registrants were
naisinformed, but other speculated
that some sought to falsify their
ages. Many bars, for example.
honor draft cards as evidence
that youths asking for beer are
18, they said.
No Physicals in June.
At the same time, Mr.. Norton
said that in June-for the first
month since the Korean war be-
gan-no pre-induction physical
examinations will be ordered. A
sufficient number of men already
are available for induction he ex-
planned.
Agreement of House and
Senate draft bill conference to
cut the draft induction age from
10 to 1872 would not affect in
ductions here "for a very long
time.p Mr.. Norton said. Both bills
require induction of all available
men from 10 to 26 before dipping
into the 18-year-oldS.
Mr.. Norton said District boards
supply of 21-year-olds should last
through June. leaving large num-
bers Of men 10 and 20 to fill future
calls. Likewise. he said, he did not
think many District 4-Fs would
be indicted as a result of another
conference agreement to cut the
passing score of the induction
mental tests from 10 to 65. Con-
ference officials guessed this cut
would make about 100000 more
