even that should your number be called you will be rejected by the examiners This estimate is based on compiled recently by the Army surgeon general's office on results of examinations youths for military service last year 47 Per Cent Accepted During the year 1964 the re- port shows draftees were given nations and 47 per cent were accepted Of the 53 per cent who didn't qualify 22.2 per failed the medical examination 16.2 per cent failed menial lesls 11.4 per cent were because of training ability 1.5 per cent were put because they were disqualified under both medical and mental standards and 1.7 per cent for reasons This last group is described as those found morally unfit The purpose of the medical tests the report explains is to eliminate individuals with cal defects of such degree as lo make it impossible for them to perform their military duly and lo exclude who might require prolonged lion and eventual discharge er they had been taken into service The surgeon general's commented that historically the standards have been viewed in terms of combat duty and that while this philosophy still sists the criteria for medically determining combat fitness have obviously changed with the changing techniques of fare In some respects the said present procurement standards are more liberal than the standards of World War II the report added is specifically true in regard to persons with certain psychiatric conditions the underlying supported by ence being that greater ciency would result with respect to appraising the psychiatric fitness of persons for military service if they were observed under military conditions Furthermore studies cate thai psychiatric and psychological criteria applied at the time of examination for service generally have not proved a reliable index for predicting future tary behavior In line with the new tion current psychiatric screening is intended to nate only persons with gross psychiatric conditions MISS RODEO AMERICA Koren
