Governor Simon Bamberger yesterday recoived from General K. H. Crowder an order providing a flexible system which is to govern as to the disposition of men applying for induction into voluntary service under section 150 of the selective service regulations. Camps to which such men may be sent for designated branches in the military service are named in the order, which bars them from mobilization camps and requires rigid physical examination before they are sent. Immediately upon receipt of the order It was delivered to Captain A. J. Aleehiu of the Utah adjutant general's office, who sent copies at once to local boards for their information. The order follows, in part: Voluntary induction of certain registrants reg-istrants is provided for in section 150, selective service regulations. The section requires local boards to send the applicant for voluntary induction to the nearest mobilization camp. For Flexible System. To provide- a flexible system which will permit men to be sent to places other than mobilization camps, the following will govern as to the disposition dis-position of men applying for induction induc-tion under section 150. This section must be strictly complied with in all respects except that men should be sent to places as herein indicated instead of to the nearest mobilization mobiliza-tion camp. Attention is directed to ; the fact that no man in the current j quota may be voluntarily inducted and that credit for men so inducted will be given on the quota called for next after their induction into military mili-tary service and not on the current quota. White registrants desiring voluntary volun-tary induction into the various branches of the military service hereinafter named will be sent by local boards only to the points designated desig-nated as follows: Aviation section, signal corps, to Kelly field, San Antonio, Texas. Land division, signal corps, to . Leaven wort h, Ka n. Medical department, to medical officers' of-ficers' training camp, Fort Riley, Kan. Quartermaster corps, to Camp Joseph Jo-seph E. Johnstone, Jacksonville, Fla. Ordnance department, to Raritan rtnrn DiT-i iTi TvT T Infantry, to ' Camp -Greene, Charlotte, Char-lotte, N. C. Must Be Careful. Organization conditions are such that only white men may be sent to the places named In this order, therefore uo negroes will be inducted induct-ed under section 150 until further . orders. Supply conditions are such that no man at present may be inducted in-ducted by this method for service in the cavalry, field artillery, coast artillery ar-tillery or engineer corps. Similar conditions at the mobilization camps prevent the sending to such camps of men voluntarily inducted. The attention of local boards should be emphatically directed to the fact that this method takes the place of voluntary enlistment and that since men inducted under tills provision are to be sent for great distances at considerable expense to the government govern-ment the utmost care should be exercised ex-ercised In their physical examination and no man should be forwarded to any of the destinations mentioned herein unless it is quite certain that he is physically acceptable for military mili-tary service and looal boards should be enjoined that they are on their mettle to demonstrate their efficiency as recruiting units for our army. |
