Common Pool

Last week Selective Service headquarters announced a new method of handling inductees. As it is done now, men who pass their physicals at induction centers are earmarked there for the Army or Navy_, according to their preferences, fitness and the needs of the Services. They are then forwarded in due time to Army or Navy reception centers.

Beginning July 1, registrants who pass their physicals will not be earmarked but will be sent to a common pool--an armed forces induction station--and will get their assignments there. For drafted men, from then on, it will be the luck of the draw that will make them soldiers, sailors or Marines.
