The draft board will call in men who were listed for limited service due to physical disqualifications. They will be sent to Pittsburg for reexamination as quickly as possible because Pittsburg examiners have been accepting many who failed locally for minor defects. Exceptions apply for men with lost limbs. Secretary Robert McKinney White says criticism of exemptions is unfounded and notes new physical rule changes. Industrial exemptions remain under district board review, and complaints should be brought to the draft board in the Lawrence Savings & Trust building.
