He will leave June 16 with a group of 13 Umatilla county youths for Portland where they will report at the Mult nomah county armory for induction. Gene Pierce, formerly of Hermiston but now employed in a Pendleton bank, is also a member of the group The latter has been appointed leader of the contingent. It is not certain that all 13 mem bers will be inducted into the array as past records show that a good percentage of draftees fail to pass the rigid physical examinations.
