First District t-B's Report Tomorrow For Induction

Small Percentage Will Be Sent With Each Group in August

The first contingent of 1-B men

from the District, registrants with so-called minor physical defacts, will report for induction tomorrow, local selective service headquarters announced.

A small percentage of each group of selectees sent to Fort Myer. Va., for physical examinations every day in August when white regis- trants are inducted will continue to be drawn from the 1-B lists.

The number of 1-B men selected by the Army tomorrow from the physically handicapped group sent over will give local boards here a

definite indication of the Army’s physical standards for limited service.

After induction, the 1-B men will go on the two-week furlough granted all selectees. If any of the 1-B men can meet 1-A standards, they will be Inducted for general military service, it was explained.
