Ernest Gruening to learn the fun- damental physical standards of this nations’ armed forces, consult their doctors and dentists to determine whether .they conform to these standards, and to have remediable defects corrected prior to examina- tion by local draft board physici- ans. Pointing out that such action by registrants would constitute a dis- tinct service to their country and to the individual registrant, Gov-| ernor Gruening said that the men could not, of course, be expected to| learn high technical details of the standards. However, he asserted, they can acquaint themselves with the basic requirements and, upon consultation with their own phy-| sicians or dentists, determine wheth- | er they are physically qualified ac- cording to the general standards. Although the local boards and | the armed forces are the final judges of a registrant’s fitness, the Governor declared, registrants would be ahle, by following the suggest- ed course, to make some determina- tion of their chances of ipduction as physically fit without waiting to be called before a lacal board phy- sician. Furthermore, he emphasized, men who learn they have physical defects and have remediable ones corrected so as. to gualify them- selves for training will render pa- triotic service to their country and | | | Consult Docter He said: “Learn the minimum physical re- lective Service Regulations. | “Consult your family doctor or! dentist, one or both, if you dis- cover or suspect that you fall short of what is demanded of you. | “Follow their advice; let them | put you back into good condition if arrangements can be made on a mutually satisfactory basis—i. let them direct you to the| nearest clinic, hospital, or social| service agency best suited to your | particular needs.” | Enumerating some of requirements, = Governor listed the following: the major | Gruening i | 1. Teeth requirements: An ade- quate fiumber of serviceable teeth— six biting and six chewing teeth, three pairs of each that are oppo-| site to each other when chewing.| Fillings, crowns, dummics and fixed | and removable bridges may make! teeth acceptable, 1 2. Height and weight require- ments: Examining physicians will use discretion and judgment in ac- | cepting registrants with slight var-| iation in ratio of height and weight, provided it is the opinion of the examining physician that the vari- ation is correctible with proper food and physical training; but {no registrant may be accepted whose weight is less than. 105/ pounds, or. whose height is less than 60 inches or greater than 78 inches. Eyesight 3. Eye requiremepts: The vision should be moderately good in both | eyes, or capable of being rendered | so by glasses. Test cards are read at 20 feet. The Army requires each registrant to be able to read at 20 feet without glasses what the normai person can read at 100 feet without glasses, proyided the same matter can be read by the regis- trant at 40 feet with the use of| glasses. Mild degrees of inflamma- tion, squint, color blindness and small operative scars do not nec- essarily disqualify. 4. Ear requirements: Hearing should be good in both ears, cap- able of detecting low conversation- al voice sounds at 20 feet in a quiet room. Hearing is considered acceptable if such sounds can be heard at ten feet. 5. Genito-urinary organs and venereal disease: requirements: The kidneys, bladder and genital or- |gans must be free of serious di- sease and the urine free of albu- men and sugar. Acute gonorrhea and early syphilis are so readily cured that they will not constitute a basis for permanent rejection. Standards listed constitute only a fraction of the.physical require- | ments, the Governor said. If, how- ever, registrants will assure them- selves they conform to those speci- fied they will take a material step toward preparing themselves for training, he declared, and urged them to consult their doctors and dentists for further advice without delay, — - ASK NAME CHANGE Virgil J. Lee, of Juneau, filed an application in Federal District Court here today to have his name legally changed' to Virgil J. McCoy. The action filed stated that. McCoy was the original name of Lee before his adoption. ——,,———— The Federal Government is em- 'ploying more than ‘50,000 workers in Puerto Rico, mostly on daeiénse and public housing projects.
