Mrs. Dupler said the draft board was reviewing men in 1-Y
classification for possible induction. Men in the 1-Y group fail-
ed to pass military mental requirements in earlier tests, but
the Pentagon recently lowered the standards.
"We will have some in this category, but not as many as I
hoped,” Mrs Dupler said.
She said 41 men would leave Lawton Jan. 28 for pre-induction
physicals in Oklahoma City, but she doubted if these men would
be processed fast enough to be called in February. They will
probably be taken in later draft calls.
She also said that some registrants with temporary physical
defects were being called back for another test.
She said the draft board was required to give three weeks
notice to a draftee before the actual date he must report for
duty.

Until recent months, the Comanche County draft requirement
had been filled with volunteers, she said. The total number in-
ducted jumped to 14 last October, dropped to 10 in November,
hit a peak of 18 in December and totaled 16 in January.
Mrs. Dupler said the additional workload had resulted in an-
other member being appointed to the draft board
Hugh Payne Jr., 221 Northwood, was selected as fourth mem-
ber of the board. Other board members are Rondal Compton,
James Laughlin and J. Fred Ferrell.
Mrs. Dupler said the board had approximately 70 registrants
per month Young men are required to register for the draft
within five days after their 18th birthday.
She said there were 10,055 in all classifications in the county.
The number was broken down as follows:

(OMANCHE County married men without children will prob-
• ably be drafted in February. Mrs. Bertha Dupler, local
Selective Service board clerk, said today.
Mrs Dupler said the county had filled its quota of 16 men for
January without having to dip into the married ranks She said
she had not received the February call, but expected it to be
about the same as this month's.
"I don't see how we can possibly fill the February call with-
out taking the married men,” she said.
Pre-induction physicals for married men between the ages
of 19-26 began in November after the Viet Nam war caused
draft calls to increase sharply.
"We have just about depleted the single men in the I-A group
in the county,” she explained.
