: WASHINGTON. March 10 VP)
One reason why the manpower
pinch is going to hit some homes
sooner than generally expected:
The number-of rejections under
selective service now is running
more than 40 per cent' of those
examined, ' the war manpower
commission says.
Here's the record:
Approximately one-half of the
first 2,000,000 registrants ex
amined were rejected for phys
ical, mental or educational rea
sons. Of those rejected as phys
ically or mentally unfit, nearly
21 per cent were turned down
for dental defects, nearly 14 per
cent because of their eyes.
Then, early last year, the army
lowered its eyesight and dental
standards. The rejection figure
for the period of May through
December was a shade over 34
per cent.
The new increase is attributed
to a trend to older men, includ
ing married men without chil
dren. v
And local boards have been
told to reclassify men in the 38
45 age group.-: While the chief
aim of this move .is said to be to
get more of these men into farm
ing, the order which suspended
drafting of men of those ages
could be revoked at any time.
-Rejection of athletes by army
doctors has centered attention
again on the army's physical
standards. Leo Durocher, man
ager of the Brooklyn Dodgers
baseball team, was turned down
because of a perforated eardrum;,
other ballplayers have been re
jected because of hernia. .
Some of the other reasons for
rejection on physical grounds as
listed by the army, in addition
to more apparent disabilities, include:
Chronic slnui trouble, ,
" Sever hay fever,
' Sears which are "disfiguring
to such an extent as to be un
sightly or which Interfere with
function of a limb or part to such
a degree as to prevent satisfac
tory performance of service in
the armed forces.". , . ,
' Stammering or stuttering "to
such a degree that the registrant
Is unable to express himself
clearly or to repeat commands."
Ulcer of the stomach or duod
enum; also "authentio history of
gastric or duodenal ulcer with
activity within the past five
years" and "surgical operations
for gastric or duodenal ulcer."
"Active osteomelttis of any
bone, or a substantiated history
of osteomyelitis of any .of the
long bones within the past five
years." ,
What about rehabilitation of
rejectees?
More than a year ago selective
service headquarters, in response
to a request from tho president,
made plans to rehabilitate some
200,000 rejectees ' whom Brig.
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective
service director, estimated could
be restored to standards accept
able for general military service.
Certain rehabilitation tests were
started in Maryland and Virginia.
But now the program Is dorm
ant.
The reason? ' A government
official who declined to speak
for quotation by name said, "a
shortage of doctors."
