Handling of Draftees Is Discussed
Dr. FE. S. Richards of the local draft board spoke at the Kiwanis luncheon at Hotel Henry. He described case by case judging, possible appeals to higher authorities, and noted 136 registrants sent to Little Rock with only seven passed for mental or physical reasons. He reported 10,000 Hempstead County registrants, 7,000 within age limits, and over 2,000 already in service. He noted three board members plus a dentist and physician on duty, with War Department guidance shaping the inductee order. He predicted postwar training may raise physical standards.
