Armstrong, state Selective Service director, a The call will include not only men in Priorities I and II of the so-called "doctor draft", but also physicians and dentists in priials, and the chef de gare of ority III iffider the age of 36. This will be the first time priority III physicians have .been ordered for induction. Priorities I and II consist of doctors who received their training at government expense or were deferred during World War II for ipedical training and subsequently served less than twenty-one months on active duty. Priority III consists of doctors who have had no active military service since Sept. 16, 1940. The induction date has been set for March 30, but it is expected that the doctors will apply for and receive reserve commissions before that date and hence will not actually be inducted through Selective Service. Before being ordered for induction to help fill the urgent need of the armed forces for doctors, each man is screened by the medical advisory committee in his own locality to determine whether or not his services are essential to the community. Colonel Armstrong said. Doctors obtaining commissions as reserve officers receive a bonus of $100 a month .when called to active duty.
