Of the 17,500,000 men between 21 | and 36 already registered, about 900000 now are in active service. Belective service officials estimate another 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 could be obtained, if necessary, without dipping into the new February 16 | registrants. However, it is likely | that many of the latter, especially the younger men, will be inducted early along with the existing eligibles.

Besides the 1,000,000 existing reg- istrants between 21 and 28 already | classified as ready for call, officials | estimate another 1.000,000 probably could be obtained from existing rolls by reclassification of defer- ments, namely, rehabilitating ap- proximately 200,000 men previously excused for minor ailments and tightening up on those not taken before because of dependents. Still another 1.000,000 would be available, if needed. from among the 28 through 35 group of regis- trants, officials say. Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, se- lective service director, has esti-| mated that between 8000.000 and 10,000,000 men fit for military duty, would be made available from the' three registrations. betwsen H and .
