By IRVING LEIBOWITZ Times Staff Writer CAMP ATTERBURY, Aug. 11— “No one is goipg to be left at home if he can pass physical examination.” Col. Peter C. Bullard, chief of the Indiana Military District, was speaking in the huge sports arena here to more than 600 key officers and no~-coms of the 38t" National Guard Division. The meeting was arranged last night--by- Cok the officers and men with advance information on the procedure to {be used in case of induction into

knew of no future federal inductions for Indiana troops. The officers first heard supply, mess and financial specialists explain the various functions of Na~ tional Guard units on mobilization day. Then they had an opportunity to question the panel of specialists, composed of Regular Army officers attached to Fifth Army headquarters.

“Always Be Ready”

Lt. Col. Richard Stewart, city clerk of Indianapolis, represented Maj. Gen. Jesse McIntosh for the 35th Division. He impressed upon the officers the need “to always be ready.”
