Many Men Fail to Pass Army Physical Test
Tuesday's draft exminations showed a high rate of physical disqualifications with 26 of 86 examined likely excused from service in Gibson county. The local board warned that lists are not final and that a second examination and exemptions may alter the outcome as the county aims to fill a quota of 144. The second day's results revealed many more likely rejections among 167 examined, including some from outside the county and two cases of potential misfiling or age errors. New York and Chicago reports indicate broad exemption rates, with varying local outcomes and ongoing investigations into bribery accusations against exemption board members.
