Registered Men Must Learn Red Ink Number and Watch Bulletins
Washington July 23 The master list of the drawing last Friday fixing military mobility under the draft will not be ready for distribution to local exemption boards until tomorrow. Governors will receive two copies for each local board and must notify men to appear for physical examination. Crowder ruled that posting the list at board HQ constitutes legal notification, so men must learn their red ink number and watch boards. The system may reduce quotas by voluntary enlistments and officers await official list publication. Transfers of examinations are allowed temporarily, with final jurisdiction returning to home boards.
