Thus with Indiana's system well on its way toward actual operation it appeared the state is far ahead of many others in the organization of the new draft setup. The state director said the exact number of draft boards in Indiana has not yet been decided but that there will be between 90 and 94, He said the atate had experienced little difficulty in obtaining volunteers to serve on | boards. . President Truman has proclaimed Aug. 30 to Sept. 18 as the days upon which men 18 through 25 will register for selective service. The first day will be for men {born in 1922 after Aug. 30. Register at Any Board Col. Summers reminded registrants that on their designated days they may register at any draft board available. The permanent address they give at the time will determine which draft board hax jurisdiction over them. Veterans of World War II who are within the age limit and former service men are to be given deferment credits depending upon the time and length of their former service. Meanwhile, 18-year-olds seeking to enlist for one year continued to appear today at recruiting stations here and throughout the nation. _ In Indianapolis, Navy and Marine Carps stations filled their quotas of one-year enlistments yesterday. The Army station here today accepted ‘14 enlistments by 18-year-olds. - This is the station's quota for the next seven days.

Liberal Draft Policy Assured

WASHINGTON, July 22 (UP) —Prospective draftees were assured today that deferments will be more than liberal, especially for the 25-year-olds. ; Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey said he expects fewer than 1 per cent of the n4tion's 1.2 million 25-year-olds to be called up when inductions start about Oct. 1. Rules governing occupational deferments have yet to be determined. But Gen. Hershey said they will apply “with a lot more force” to men in the upper age In this way, he said, industry will not be hit hard. Far More Generous He indicated that the overall deferment policy will be far more generous to registrants than it was in World War IL Under the new law, some 2.8 million men in the 18-through-25 age bracket must register, beginning Aug. 30. Gen. Hershey said no draftees will be in uni-
