PERIODIC REPORTS OF PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Volume l ( . . . . . . . .
Summary and Detailed Reports
April 1942 – September 1943
P R E F A C E
The presert volume is the first of a bound series covering
the unpublished statistical releases and tables which served as periodic
and special reports on the examination of Selective Service registrants
during the operaticn cf the System. These examinations were of a
physical and mental nature and were performed at Selective Service
local boards in connection with classification and at Navy and/or Army
stations in connection with pre-induction and induction activities.
...'..." Much of the data in the series are summarized or given in
° detail for the Continental United States and each State though
tabulations for counties and local boards are also included. In the
main they were derived by punch-card process from Reports of Physical
Examination and Induction (DSS Form 221) and were applied by nationals
State and local units of the System in planning and administering the
program. In consequence, the format within each sequence of reports
will often be seen to vary in an effort to meet the informational re-
quirements of each major change in operating procedures.
This first volºng , as will be observed from the "Contents"
below, deals largely with the physical and mental characteristics or
defects of examined men in relation to their disposition, i.e. , their
rejection or acceptance for military services All defect statistics are
specific by race and certain of the information relates marital-dependency
status and ºccupations to dispositions -
Volume I, it will be noted, contains only two reports, the
first with a monthly sequerº and the second with an individual State
coverage, º, ºlumes II and III, which include materials placing scº what,
more emphasis upon rejection and acceptance, contain a greater number
of reports, However, beginning with Volume IV, the series is devoted
to a single report consisting of county and local board as well as
$tatº and National tables of defects o

STATE DIRECTOR ADVICE (NO. 157)
SUBJECT: ; PERIODIG TABULATIONS BASED ON REPORT OF PHYSICAL, EXAMINATION
AND INDUCTION, FORM 221
le Enclosed are three statistical tabulations whicº, hºwe been
prepared from Reports of Physical Examination and Induction, Forms 3:31.3
received at National Headquarters from your Stats. 1/ For most State's
these tables cover the period from April 1942, when Form 221 first came
into use, through June 30, 1942. For States which had not transmitted .
a sufficient number of Forms 221 to National Headquarters by July 1, 1942
to be representative of the work of their local boards, the time period
wºx 3xtended to include the Forms 221 received before August l; 1942e.
The tabulation mºdered RS 221A shows the principal physical
& mºntal defect found in two groups of registrants: (a) Those who were
deferred after a local board physical examination, and (b) those who were
gºre **ally examined at an induction stations Further subdivisions of
*::::gº tºo groups ghow the availability of registrants for military serve
ice, Separate tablies are 3.giºuded for white and for Negro registrants
gººd hiº, and Negro ºft.*rants cºsbined,
RS 2210 shogg the marital status and the number of deperºgºś
of all registrants {a} ºn received a local board physical examination
and {b}, whº were india. ...as separate cabulations are included for white
and for flagrº, 25gistrants tº £or white and Negro rag.strants combined.
Rs 221B shows, ºr 2 ºz., the occº pation of (a) all examined
registenrºg and (b) all irºz, bi zºgistrants.
2e. The enclosed tables are the first in a series to be pre-
pared from Form 221 and forwarded to State Headquarters. It is ex-
pected that additional monthly tabulations of this nature will be fur-
nished regularly in the future e It is, therefore, important that local
boards be instructed to transmit Forms 221 to State Headquarters promptly,
end that State Headquarters expedite checking and reviewing so that the
Forms 221 sent to National Headquarters will represent the current age
tivities of local boards and induction stations.
3. The next tabulations of this kind will probably be re-
leased early in February and be based on the Forms 221 received at Mae
tional Headquarters during November and December, 1942.
1/ state tabu . . . . ºne forwarded directly to State Headquarters and
are not presented, theºre,





ll. These tabulations are a part of the statistical program
designed to provide State Headquarters with data needed for operations,
thereby eliminating the extra burden and duplication of work which would
accrue in each State if it was necessary to develop such information in-
dependently. Your comment on the usefulness of the enclosed tables for
such purposes is solicited,

U. S SUMMARY TABULATIONS OF FORMS 221
RECEIVED DURING NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 1942
Attached are copies of the U. S. summary of periodic tabulations
based on Reports of Physical Examination and Induction, Forms 22l, re-
ceived at National Headquarters during November and December 1942.
This is the second in a series of periodic tabulations based on Forms
22l which are described in State Director Advice No. 157. The first
tabulations, based on Forms 221 received during May and June and, in
certain cases during July, were released with this Advice.
A set of tables similar to those attached has been prepared for
each State and a set of tables for a single State has been mailed to
each State Director of Selective Service.1/ The attached summaries for
all States combined are prepared for use in National Headquarters
onlyo
Because of the time involved in processing the approximately
600,000 Forms 221 which were received during November and December,
it was judged impracticable to process every form. Consequently,
l2.5 percent of the Forms 22} received in November and 25 percent of
those received in December, comprising 195,981 registrants physically
examined at local boards, were selected as representative of the total
receipts,
The total number of registrants examined at local boards is shown
on the marital status and dependency table, RS 221C, and on the occupa-
tional table, RS 221D. It may be obtained from the defect table, RS
221A, by adding the first column "Total deferred at local board" and
the fifth column "Total examined at induction station."
The next release of periodic tabulations will be based on Forms
22l received during January 1943.
l/ State tabulations were forwarded directly to State Headquarters and
are not presented here.

U. S. SUMMARY TABULATIONS OF FORMS 221 RECEIVED DURING JANUARY 1913
January 1943 tabulations of Reports of Physical Examination and Induction,
Forms 221, are attached. These U. S. Summaries, the third in a series of periodic
tabulations described in State Director Advice No. 157, are based on a 25 percent
sample of Forms 221 received at National Headquarters during the month of January.
Preceding tabulations dealt with Forms 221 received during May and June 1942, and
November and December 1942.
The total number of registrants examined at local boards is shown on the
marital status and dependency table, RS 221 C, and on the occupational table,
RS 221 D. It may be obtained from the defect table RS 221 A, by adding the first
column "Total deferred at local board" and the fifth column "Total examined at
induction station."
REJECTIONS DUE TO PHYSICAL OR MEiſt AL REASONS
The following brief discussion deals with the leading causes of rejections
among white and Negro registrants examined at local boards and 3 niuction stations
during January 1943. The data presented in the attached figure and in tables l,
2, and 3 are based on RS 221 A for January 1943.
At local boards over one-half of the white registrants were rejected because
of musculo-skeletal defects, hernia, and syphilis; each constituted 17 percent of
the rejections. Among Negroes 74 percent of all local board rejections were due
to syphilis; musculo-skeletal defects were next in order of importance. The
majority of local board rejections for syphilis among white and Negro registrants
were based solely on positive serology. In reviewing causes of rejection at local
boards it should be remembered that the basis for rejection was limited to a large
extent to defects specified in DSS Form 220, "List of Manifestly Disqualifying
Defects."
Eye defects and mental disease were the leading causes of rejection among
white registrants examined at induction stations, with musculo-skeletal and car-
diovascular defects ranking third and fourth respectively. Educational deficiency
accounted for 27 percent of the Negro rejections at induction stations; mental
disease and cardiovascular defects were next in importance. Of interest is the
fact that among white and Negro registrants, psychoneuroses constituted the basis
for most of the rejections for mental disease, and hypertension and valvular heart
disease were listed as the causes of most rejections for cardiovascular defects.
The ten leading causes of rejection among white and Negro registrants examined
at local boards and induction stations are shown in the attached figure. It will
be noted that syphilis and educational deficiency accounted for most of the Negro
rejections while the causes for white rejections were more numerous. However,
these defects were not necessarily the sole causes of rejection; they were noted
as the principal defect by the examining physicians and they may have been accom—
panied by other disqualifying defects.

U. S. SJMMARY TABULATIONS OF FORMS 221 RECEIVED DURING FEBRUARY 1913
February 1913 tabulations of Reports of Physical Examination and Induction,
Forms 221, are attached. These U. S. Summaries, the fourth in a series of
periodic tabulations described in State Director Advice No. 157, are based on a
25 percent sample of Forms 221 received at National Headquarters during the month
of February. Forms 221 for registrants deferred after local board physical ex-
amination because of occupation, dependency, or overage have been omitted from
these tabulations •
The tabulations included are: (1) RS 221A, Principal Defects of Registrants
Rejected and Inducted; (2) RS 221C, Marital Status and Dependents of Registrants
Physically Examined and Inducted; and (3) RS 221D, Occupations of Registrants
Physically Examined and Inducted. Included also are a table and figure sum-
marizing the causes of rejection as shown numerically on RS 221A.
It will be noted that RS 221A has been revised for February 1913. Limited
service inductions are now presented separately but the number deferred for
limited service at induction stations are no longer shown separately. "Total”
columns have been added which show (1) mumber of registrants rejected at local
boards and induction stations separately and combined, and (2) mumber of reg-
istrants physically examined.
INDUCTIONS FOR LIMITED SERVICE
Of the total number of white registrants inducted, 9.8 percent were accept-
ed for limited service only. The corresponding figure for Negroes was 2.li per-
cent. White and Negro registrants with such eye defects as vision less than
minimum requirements for general service, mild eye diseases, or loss of one eye,
constituted over 60 percent of all those inducted for limited military service.
Those with limited service musculo-skeletal defects were the next largest group
inducted,
REJECTIONS DUE TO PHYSICAL OR MENTAL REASONS
For all races, mental disease accounted for almost 15 percent of all re-
jections as shown in the attached figure • Cardiovascular defects, educational
deficiency, syphilis, and hernia each accounted for 8 to 10 percent of the
total rejections •
Among white registrants mental disease was the leading cause of rejection,
constituting 16.6 percent of all rejections. Cardiovascular defects, hernia,
and musculo-skeletal defects were next in order of importance. Eye defects,
formerly the leading cause of rejection among white registrants, now rank
seventh in importance due to the induction of large numbers of registrants with
limited service eye defects. -
The leading causes of rejection among Negro registrants were syphilis and
educational deficiency, which together accounted for 50 percent of all re-
jections • The other leading causes of rejection were the same as for January
1913, with one exception: tuberculosis replaced gonorrhea as the ninth cause in
order of importances -

S. SUMMARY TABULATIONS OF FORMS 221 RECEIVED DURING MARCH 1913
The attached U. S. Summary tabulations, based on a 25 percent
sº tº of Forms 221, Report of Physical Examination and Induction, re-
ceived at National Headquarters during March 1913 include: (1) RS 221A,
Principal Defects of Registrants Rejected and Inducted; (2) RS 221C,
Marital Status and Dependents of Registrants Physically Examined and
inducted; and (3) RS 2210, Occupations of Registrants Physically Exam—
ined and Inducted. Forms 221 for registrants deferred after local board
physical examination because of dependency, occupation, or overage have
be: omitted from these tabulations,
Also included in this release are two tables and a figure
§3rived from RS 221A which present rejection rates by individual defect
groups and the relative importance of each defect group in rejected
registrants and in registrants inducted for limited service in the Army.
REJECTIONS DUE TO PHYSICAL OR MENTAL REASONS
Mental disease Was, as in February, the leading cause of
rejection for all races, as seen in the attached figure. The other
nine leading causes of rejection were the same as in the preceding
month but with some changes in rank. Cardiovascular defects and
syphilis accounted for a smaller proportion of rejections while
educational deficiency and foot defects accounted for a larger pro-
portion of rejections during March than in February. *
Mental disease was the most frequent cause of rejection
among white registrants, 5 out of every 100 registrants examined being
rejected for this reason. Musculo-skeletal defects, hernia, and cardio-
vascular defects were next in order of importance. There was a slight
increase in the rejection rates for musculo-skeletal defects and educa-
tional deficiency and a decrease for cardiovascular defects.
Among Negro registrants, educational deficiency and syphilis
ranked first and second, respectively, as causes of rejection, while
during February the order of importance for these defects was rever". 2d.
The rank for other leading causes of rejection was essentially the s ºne
as for the preceding month. Rejection rates for cardiovascular defect 3,
syphilis, and mental disease decreased while those for educational defi-
ciency, mental deficiency and foot defects increased.
INDUCTIONS FOR LIMITED SERVICE
8.l percent of the inducted white registrants had defects
which qualified them for limited service only. The corresponding per-
centage for Negroes was 2.2. As seen in Table 2, eye and musculo-
skeletal defects were the leading principal defects among white and
Negro limited service inductees. Underweight and overweight, and foot
defects were next in order of importance.

U. S. SUMMARY TABUíATIONS OF DSS FORMS 22]. RECEIVED DURING APRTL AND MAY 1923
The attached U. S. Summary tabulations, RS 221A, C, and D, are based cn &
25-percent sample of DSS Forms 221, Report of Physical Examination and Induction, re-
ceived at National Headquarters during April and May 1943. In addition, this release
includes two tables and a figure which summarize the defect data presented in RS 221A.
DSS Form 221 for registrants deferred after local board physical examination because
of dependency, occupation, or overage have been omitted from these tabulations.
An additional column showing the principal defects of registrants rejected
at induction stations because of remediable or limited service defects is now present-
ed in RS 221A. Also the data for RS 221C, which formerly were presented on three
separate pages, are now shown on a single page.
CAUSES OF REJECTION
Figure l and the data presented in Table l show the relative importance of
rejection among white and Negro registrants, separately and combined. Mental disease
was the leading cause of rejection among all registrants due to its predominance among
white registrants. Educational deficiency ranked second; the proportion of regis-
trants rejected for this cause increased slightly for both white and Negro, enough to
raise it from seventh to fifth place among whites and to maintain it in first place
among Negroes,
Among white registrants eye defects were third in order of importance,
ranking below mental disease and musculoskeletal defects; in the tabulations for March
this defect ranked eighth among white registrants. The rise in rank for eye defects
appears to be due to the reduction in the number of registrants inducted for limited
service during this period. There was also an increase in rejections for eye defects
among Negroes but not enough to bring about a change in the relative rank of rejections
for eye defects.
- Syphilis decreased in order of importance as a cause of rejection among all
registrants but not enough to be displaced as the second most important cause of re-
jection among Negroes. This was the res...t of the policy of accepting registrants
with uncomplicated syphilis for treatment after induction. Rejections because cf
underweight or overweight displaced tuberculosis as tenth most important cause of re-
jection among both white and Negro registrants combined. Weight deviation was more
important as a cause of rejection among white registrants than among Negroes.
REJECTIONS FOR LIMITED SERVICE AND REMEDIABLE DEFECTS
8.1 percent of all white rejected registrants had limited service cr re-
mediable defects; the percentage for Negroes was 7.9. The six leading principal de-
fects among these registrants are as follows:
White Negro
Hernia Hernia
Mental disease Educational deficiency
Eye Eye
Musculoskeletal Gonorrhea and other venereal
Ear Genitalia
Cardiovascular Musculoskeletal
INDUCTIONS FOR LIMITED SERVICE
The tabulations for April and Mey show that only 4.7 percent of the induct-
limited service whereas the corresponding per-
<d ºlive registrants were inducted for t
certage based on March 3943 receiçºs Tſas 3.1. This reduction was noted also for Ne-
groes. However, the leading print. . pel defects of these registrants were the same as
-º-
£cr March--eye and musculoskeletal defects.

{ja $, Sºjºſ/ARY TABULATIONS OF DSS FORMS 221 REC（VED
DURING JUNE AND JULY 1913 1/
This release includes the regular RS 221A, C, and D tabulations
on the defects, marital status, and occupations of registrants inducted and
rejected. In addition, two tables and a figure are presented showing rejec-
tion rates by broad defect groups and the relative importance of each defect
group in rejected registrants and in registrants inducted for limited service,
CAUSES OF REJECTION
Mental disease and educational deficiency ranked first and second,
respectively, as causes of rejection among all races. This was also true
in April and May, but the rates of rejection for both causes increased in
the later period. The increase was noted in the rejection rates for white
and Negro registrants separately.
A change in mental testing procedures 2/ at induction stations,
effective June 1, 1913, may be reflected in increased rejections for educa-
tional deficiency. Among white registrants, it rose from fifth place in
April–May to third in June and July; and while it remained the first cause
of rejection among Negroes, its rejection rate was l9.5 per 100 Negro reg—
istrants examined, as compared to 15.l during April and May.
Mental deficiency also increased during this period. However,
this increase may actually reflect an increase in educational deficiency,
due to the fact that variations in terminology at induction stations result
in the designation of some educationally deficient registrants as mentally
deficient. This defect did not appear among the ten leading causes of re-
jection during April and May; in the June–July period it ranked tenth in
order of importance for all races. For Negro registrants, the rejection
rate rose from l.2 in the former period to 2.6 per 100 registrants examined;
the corresponding increase for white registrants was from 0.6 to 0.9.
The full import of the change in mental testing procedures, how-
ever, is obscured by the fact that these tabulations are based on Forms 221
received during June and July and include many forms representing examina-
tions prior to June 1, 1913.
Eye defects decreased from fourth to eighth in importance as a
cause of rejection. This sharp decrease is evident in the reduction from
third to eighth in importance among white registrants; eye defects dropped
from seventh to ninth in order of importance among Negroes during the later
period.
Other changes in rank of defects as causes of rejection were of
minor importance.
l/Tables and tabulations in this release are based on a 16.7-percent sample
of DSS Forms 221, Reports of Physical Examination and Induction, received
at National Headquarters during June and July 1913. Previous tabula-
tº c as for 1913 were based on a 25-percent sample of these forms.
2/A. G. 201.6 (l-28–13) OC-0, Mental Induction Standards and Procedures.
REJECTIONS FOR LIMITED SERVICE AND REMEDIABLE DEFECTS
5.5 percent of all white rejected registrants had limited service
or remediable defects; the percentage for Negroes was l; .0. The six leading
principal defects recorded for these registrants are shown below.
White Negro
Hernia Hernia
Feet, Genitalia
Weight deviation Gonorrhea and other venereal
Eye Musculoskeletal
Genitalia Tuberculosis
Mental disease Syphilis
Eye defects and hernia were the only leading defects common to
white registrants rejected for limited service defects during the two peri-
ods April–May and June–July. Among Negro registrants, tuberculosis and
syphilis replaced eye defects and educational deficiency.
INDUCTIONS FOR LIMITED SERVICE
On the basis of the tabulations for June and July, only li.0 per-
cent of the inducted white registrants were inducted for limited service.
The corresponding percentage for April–May receipts was li. 7. Of the Ne—
groes accepted at induction stations, l.l, percent were inducted for limited
service •
Principal defects of these registrants remained very much the
same as in April and May, except that for all races eye defects accounted
for 73.0 percent of the principal defects in limited service inductees for
June–July as compared to 67.l. in the former period. -

UNITED STATES SUMMARY TABULATIONS BASED ON DSS FORMS 221
RECEIVED DURING AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 1913 l/
Mental disease was the leading cause for rejection from February through
September 1913. For August and September, however, the rate of rejection for
mental disease was 70 percent higher than that for February and March. On the
other hand, the rejection rate for syphilis was less than half the rate of Feb-
ruary–March. This was due to the acceptance of more registrants with syphilis
as the treatment facilities at reception centers increased.
The defects listed in the following table accounted for approximately three
out of every four rejections during the eight month period. Rejection rates for
most of these defects were higher for August and September than for June–July.

iſ Includes registrants who failed to meet minimum intelligence standards from
*::::= --> June 1, 1913 on. Some of these registrants have been reported as educa-
tionally deficient, others as mentally deficient. Also included in educa-
tional deficiency for June–September are some rejections made prior to June
1, 1913, for which Forms 221 were received at National Headquarters on or
after that date,
One in five of the rejected white registrants during August and September
had mental disease recorded as the principal cause for rejection. Among Negroes,
the leading cause was educational deficiency (table 1).
At local boards, musculoskeletal defects and hernia accounted for almost four
out of every ten white rejections; syphilis and hernia were responsible for more
than one-half of the Negro rejections,
At induction stations, almost one-third of the rejected white registrants
were rejected for mental disease and musculoskeletal defects; approximately one-
half of the Negro rejections were due to educational deficiency and mental diseasec
Of all registrants inducted, 2.8 percent were accepted for limited service
only. Eye defects were recorded as the principal defect for 73.5 percent of
these limited service registrants (table 2).
Registrants rejected for limited service or remediable defects comprised
lº. 3 percent of all who were rejected. Hernia accounted for one out of every
four of these rejections, while musculoskeletal defects, next in importance,
accounted for only one in every twelve rejections,

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1912—MARCH 1913
Continental United States
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 22l, received from the continental United States
during the year April 1912–March 1913. The lº226,137 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards and
induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure le. The ten leading causes for rejection, by race, in the continent-
al United States,
Table le. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations,
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or remedi-
able defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects of
inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for military ser-
vice and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined as follows:
(a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect recorded as the cause
for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect was the first de-
fect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance arrangement. Thugs
a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying defect; and, similar-
ly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor defect; but, in either
case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect.”
The number of registrants who had no recorded defect and the total number examined
are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical ex-
amination of these registrants—i.e., , whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to their
principal defects. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no defects
can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age. On the
basis of these tabulations, the average age of registrants examined in the United
States was 28.6 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows, by race, the ten leading causes for rejection in
the continental United States. Mental disease and musculoskeletal defects account-
ed for approximately one-fourth of the white rejections at local boards and induc-
tion stations; almost one-half of the Negro rejections were due to syphilis and edu-
cational deficiency.
Tºle is Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among rejected
registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted for 3. l.
fºrcent of the rejections at local boards, for lò.3 percent of the rejections at
3 ºiuction stations, and 12.5 percent of the total local board and induction sta-
tion rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among reg-
$ºtrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service or
- ºliable defects. 60.7 percent of the registrants who were inducted for limited
Segºvice had eye defects which placed them in the limited service category. The
&reatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with limited service
crº Yemediable defects was herniae -

Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1912, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1912. Changes in this edition were made February
łº, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1, January 22,
lºlº & -- -
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1912 and again on Decem-
ber 31, 1912, and on January 16, 1913.
2. On August 1, 1912, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1912).
3. Beginning August 20, 1912, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. lliſ, August 15, 1912).
h. November 13, 1912, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1912).
5. November 25, 1912, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
110, November 25, 1912). g
6. On De Jember 5, 1912, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1912).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was sus-
pended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1912).
8, February 1, 1913, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943 -
ALABAMA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Alabama
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 29,370 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes;
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have havd more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physical, ºr Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
on the basis of these tablulations, the average age of reëstrants examined in the
state was 28.4 year B.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental leficiency and educa-
tional deficiency accounted for more than one-fourth of th? white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; more tha. one-half of the Negro
rejections were due to educational deficiency and syphilis
Żabi.e. l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for l,6 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 10.5 percent of the
*ejections at induction stations, and 8.0 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections. -
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
*egistrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 48.2 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was genitalia defects.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l-9, March 15, 1942, in effect,
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). -
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrant 5 for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942),
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No,
3.13, Movember 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years ºf
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 23,
1942),
7, ºn December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115; December 7, 1942}.
3. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated,

lººr, DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
ARIZONA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam~,
fºlatiox, and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Arizona
jºing the year April 1942–March 1943. The 4,167 Forms 221 included in the
#ºple represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
&nd induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R, "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
figure 1. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States,
Table 1... Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local,
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or ré--
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as £63,109s: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
¥25 the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arreñgement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
ei: ; ; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor 3.3->
t; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
Whe column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number ºf

because of the small numbers in the samples
º_i. Table 1 shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
gº tº strants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
㺠i.e., percent of the rejections at local boards, for 5.9 percent of the
*...*&tions at induction stations, and 4.6 percent of the total local board and
iſºcºiºn station rejections,
£able 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
*gišºrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
of remediable defects. 50.7 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
ligiºd service or remediable defects was eye defects.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
preflexibed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
repºrt are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1-9, March 15, 1942, in effect,
until the revision of October 15, 1942, Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1–9, Changes No. 1
January 22, 1943),
*hysical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Worm 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again or,
£ecember 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
§rants up to 10 percent of the white and lo percent of the colored registrants fog-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service focal Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No,
3.1Q, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants lä to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942}.
7, Ón December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
ARKANSAS
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Arkansas
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 26,391 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect.'
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the mumber of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.3 years. - -
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Educational deficiency and
mental disease accounted for one-fourth of the white rejections at local boards
and induction stations in the state; almost one-half of the Negro rejections were
due to syphilis and educational deficiency.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.0 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 12.5 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 9.9 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 50.4 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February l, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and lo percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and l9 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
CALIFORNIA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of California
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 53,758 Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States,
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age,
On the basis of these tablurations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 30.9 years,
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leadine causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States, Mental disease and hernia
accounted for more than one in every five white rejections at local boards and
induction stations in the state; almost one-third of the Negro rejections were due
to syphilis and mental disease.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for l.5 percent of the rejections at local boards, for l;.9 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and l3.0 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 53.4 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate—
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical ºxamination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). f
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. ‘ On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 13,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942–MARCH 1943 -
COLORADO
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
imation and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Colorado
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 8,054 Forms 221 included in the
§ample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boarde
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States. -
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distributio. of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-import anºë
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defeet; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
ragistrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average aées
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 30.5 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Cardiovascular and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for more than one-fourth of the white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not Pre-
sented because of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.5 percent of the rejections at local boards, for lz.8 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 9.0 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections. -
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 51.1 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1-9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). e
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 13,
1942). rt-
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

pºrtſGripAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
CONNECTICUT
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exame
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Connecticut
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The ll,170 Forms 221 included in the
33mple represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boardg
*ºff induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
*igure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States,
Table 1. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local,
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
ºf inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ād; as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defecº
#25 the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
ãºfeet; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor ºs-
fººt but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
$º
ºgistrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defecº
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examiº-
Gd are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physicæ,’
ºmination of these registrants--i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
8irth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age,
on the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in º
state was 27.6 years.

in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and cardiovas-
cular defects accounted for approximately three in every ten White rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; more than one-third of the
Negro rejections were due to syphilis and mental disease.
aire le This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection,

Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
… registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
££3. 3.5 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 24.1 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 19.3 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections,
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
£egistrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
ºr remediable defects. 64.8 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
iimited service or remediable defects was eye defects.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
ºre 33ribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
Febºary 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.

2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
ºants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable, {Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5, November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
ºiassified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
ºlº, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
*ge was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8, February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

ºble 1. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
... i -ºgistrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
£33, 565 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 24.2 percent of the
ºjºſions at induction stations, and 17.0 peºcent of the total local board and
flººtion station rejections. º
£able 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
*ēgistrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
º "emediable defects. 63.l percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gºry. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
iſſited service or remediable defects was hernia.

ğAi, DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJEGTED REGISTRAITS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ization and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of District of Columbia
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 4,233 Forms 221 included in the
3ample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
ºld induction stations during the year. The report includes:

its 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
ºf inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the gause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
*aš the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement, a Thug, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
£ºct; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated, -
ºbe column "Total. Number Physically ºxamined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
ຠºber of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
à &rs shown at the foot of the columne Columns 1-5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants-is.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
>
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth; show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
'defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
tº the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
3% ate ty&g 31, C. year 8s t
figure is This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and cardiovas-
cular defects accounted for a pproximately four in every ten white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; almost one-half of the Negro
rejections were due to syphilis and cardiovascular defects.
ºº:



Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 2.6 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 24.9 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 16.7 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 73.6 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
FLORIDA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
34&tion and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Florida
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 19,85l. Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
2nd induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
- and in the continental United States.
Table le Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations,
Table 2, Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
ifa & the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor deº
4-
fººt, but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number ºf
£agistrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defects”
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examine.
24 are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants--i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Biºthº show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age,
on the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.6 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
40 the state and in the continental United States, Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for approximately one in every four white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; almost six in every ten Negro
rejections were due to syphilis and educational deficiency.
Table, l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ad registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 0.9 percent of the rejections at local boards, for l?.9 percent of the
*sjections at induction stations, and 8.0 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
*egistrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 59.7 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for.
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
tº assified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
iii., November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 13,
º
*. à & *** *
i843).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
gaspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
GEORGIA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Georgia
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 26,984. Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.0 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for approximately three in every ten white rejections
at local boards and induction stations in the state; almost three-fifths of the
Negro rejections were due to syphilis and educational deficiency.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 2.1 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 15.9 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 9.8 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections. -
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 52.3 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
Éory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February l, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). -
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular l69, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 19 |&, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
IDAHO
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Idaho
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 4,930 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations. -
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.lyears.
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Musculoskeletal defects and
hernia accounted for more than one-fourth of the white rejections at, local boards
and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented because
of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 4.3 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 13.0 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 9.6 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections,
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. Al.9 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l-9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrant s 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
ILLINOIS
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam—
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Illinois
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 56,244. Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table 1. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects. -
RS 221B. In the basic table (Rs 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.3 years.
Figure l- This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and eye defects
accounted for almost three in every ten white rejections at local boards and induc-
tion stations in the state; almost one-third of the Negro rejections were due to
syphilis and mental disease.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 4.0 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 20.9 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 17.8 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 66.7 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
€ory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l-9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No,
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. Cn December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRIMGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
INDIANA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Indiana
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 35,614 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
- and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations. º
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.4 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for one-fourth of the white rejections at local boards
and induction stations in the state; almost one-half of the Negro rejections were
due to syphilis and mental disease.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.3 percent of the rejections at local boards, for lº).l percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and lº! .7 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 54.7 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects. -
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. i. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to lo percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the perceritage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 13,
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
IOWA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Iowa
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 22,737 Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated. e
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age-
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.6 years.
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Musculoskeletal and cardio-
vascular defects accounted for approximately one-fourth of the white rejections
at local boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not
presented because of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 4.8 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 9.7 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 8.0 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 55.3 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
sical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l-9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. l.
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942). -
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTs
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
KANSAS
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Kansas
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 15,036 Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated. -
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect,"
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants--i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.2 years. -
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Musculoskeletal defects and
hernia accounted for approximately one-fourth of the white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state; four in every ten of the Negro rejeº-
tions were due to syphilis and hernia.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.1 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 12.l percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 9.4 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections. -
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 68.2 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942, Changes in this edition were made
February l, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942). -
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRIMGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
KENTUCKY
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Kentucky
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 33,056 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R, "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth sºroup according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 30.0 years.
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and educational
deficiet.cy accounted for approximately three in every ten white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state; more than four in every ten of the
Negro rejections were due to syphilis and mental disease.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.0 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 21.3 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 16.4 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 58.9 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hermia.
hysical Examination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated.
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No,
llo, November 25, 1942). *
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942),
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8, February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTs
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
LOUISIANA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Louisiana
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 29, AlA Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year, The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects. -
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
on the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.4 years,
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for more than one in every five white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; almost one-half of the Negro
rejections were due to syphilis and educational deficiency.
gº Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
* *egistrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
39%. 1,9 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 13.5 percent of the
rejegºons at induction stations, and 8.9 percent of the total local board and

Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defecte. 56.0 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
4.imited service he'd eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gosy. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
iimited service or remediable defects was hernia.
sigai Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prº seribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
ºit is the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
Žebruary 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
Tºgember 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
26 On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regiº-
ºasts up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3, Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
º, registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
ºvice Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
ilable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163. November 16, 1942).
• November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
ilº, November 25, 1942).
3. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,

?, ºn December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
ºv.sgeºded. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
3. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRIMGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
MAINE
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ºation and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Maine
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The ll,100 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
BS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
28 follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
eč as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importancé
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
fººt; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
gistrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect,
number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical
amination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.

The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
33.3%h" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
on the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 27.9 years.
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Eye defects and mental disease
accounted for one-fourth of the white rejections at local boards and induction
stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented because of the small
numbers in the sample.
º, i. Table 1 shows the distribution of prix cigas, iº ºg rejº
Sºrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accº get
sº ºpercent of the rejections at local boards, for 4.2 pºgº ºff tº
tº at induction stations, and 12.1 percent of the tºtal jocal cºard azi
tº station rejections,
ºlº 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
$33.33%;ants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
gº ºnečíable defects, 59 sº, percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limişº service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate.
Kºº The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants writh
iºniº, service or remediable defects was eye defects.

APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
MARYLAND
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
imaº on and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Maryland
dºg the year April 1942–March 1943. The 17,499 Forms 221 included in the
3&gt;& £epresent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table HS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Sigure i. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2, Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.

of $31&ucted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
ºf 322 wice and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
& Seikows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
&# 35 the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect,
tº $3.8 first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
*ºngement, Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying

as sººts who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defects."

ºisº ghow the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
ºf air gºincipal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
isłºcłs can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average ages
on tº basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the

gigure_1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
tº ºne gºs and in the continental United States. Mental disease and eye defects
aggounted for approximately one-third of the white rejections at local boards and
induction stations in the state; more than one-half of the Negro rejections were
tº to ºyphilis and educational deficiency.


lagº.g. º. fable l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
º isłżant s by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
toº 2.2 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 22.0 percent of the
lºgº ion gºation rejections,

2.93.3.gººg inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
33 rºdetiiable defects. 57.8 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
3.imited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
º
goº. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
lińiºd. Service or remediable defects was hernia.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942–MARCH 1943
MICHIGAN
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Michigan
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 27,017 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.0 years.
Figure l. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for three in every ten white rejections at local boards
and induction stations in the state; more than one-third of the Negro rejections
were due to syphilis and mental disease.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.7 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 25.1 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 19.2 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 65.3 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
ll.0, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistrent of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRATs
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943 -
MINNESOTA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Minnesota
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 26,048 Forms 221 included in the
&ample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table Rs 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure 1. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States,
Table 1. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects. -
Rs 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
£ect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect.'
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the tºtal number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical.
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
§
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Yeº of
Birthſ show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according ve
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average aées
on the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 30.0 years •
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leadine causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for approximately three in every ten white rejections
at local boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes ** not
presented because of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 4.7 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 19.6 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and l;.8 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 62.9 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l-9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to lo percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
ll.0, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

ºn stations in the state; more than two-thirds of the Negro rejectiºns
º ºs tº syphilis and educational deficiency,















Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for l.5 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 9.6 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 6.1 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 47.9 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hermia.
sical Examination Regulations and Procedure l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943,
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4, November 13, 1942, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated,

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRAITS
- APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
MISSOURI
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Missouri
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 46,277 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.8 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for more than one-fourth of the white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; more than one-third of the
Negro rejections were due to syphilis and mental disease.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 4.0 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 19.7 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 15.l percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 59.9 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
sical Examination ations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l-9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
* . Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and 1.3 gistrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age º terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
l942).
7. On December 5, 1943, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRI ſº IPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
MONTANA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Montana
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 5,201 Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants-—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 31.3 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Eye defects & ‘d musculoskeletal
defects accounted for three in every ten white rejections at loca boards and
induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not preser ed because of the
small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
* :, ; 3.4 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 5.7 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 5.0 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 46.7 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects.
sical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l—9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l-9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and lo percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re.
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
ilo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942–MARCH 1943
NEBRASKA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam—
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Nebraska
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 9,52l, Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect

fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical'
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.2 years.
Figure l. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Cardiovascular defects and
mental disease accounted for approximately three in every ten white rejections
at local boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not
presented because of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for l. l percent of the rejections at local boards, for 17.8 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 13.9 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections. -
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 51.2 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
"imited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
êory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service, or remediable defects was hernia.
sical Examination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l-9, March 15, 1942, in effect

PRINGIPAI, DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
NEWADA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Nevada
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The l, 370 Forms 221 included in the
Sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l'. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table 1 Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of he column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 31.l years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in º: United States. Musculoskeletal defects and
syphilis accounted for approximately three in every ten white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented
because of the small numbers in the sample •
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for l.5 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 7.7 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 5.5 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 53.8 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February l, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). *
Physical standards fºr local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942–MARCH 1943
NEW HAMPSHIRE
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of New Hampshire
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 3,65l. Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table 1. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age,
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.1 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and cardio-
vascular defects accounted for more than one-third of the white rejections at loca
boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented.
because of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table 1 shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 4.7 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 24.9 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 21.8 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. Al.4 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
€ory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1-9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On-December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February l, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRILIGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
NEW JERSEY
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of New Jersey
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The Al,646 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l-5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants--i.e. . whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age-
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.9 years.
Figure la This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and cardio-
vascular defects accounted for more than one in every four white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; more than one-third of the Negro
rejections were due to syphilis and mental disease.
Table 1. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection, For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.2 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 18.6 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 16.0 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections,
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and, those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 72.6 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited_service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examinat egulations and Progedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February l, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1-9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-

PRIMGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
NEW MEXICO
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of New Mexico
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 5,730 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants-—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29 el years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Ear defects and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for approximately one in every five white rejections
at local boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not
presented because of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 2.l percent of the rejections at local boards, for 9.5 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 6.9 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 55.l percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-

dºing the year April 1942–March 1943. The 50,817 Forms 221 included in the
3&ºple represent ºnly registrants who were physically examined at local boardë
aná induction stations during the year. The report includes:

§§ 2213. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (5) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect” may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect recorder
33 as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defecº
&#35 ºhe first defect, entered by the examining physician in an order-of-impox” &xi;33
arrangements Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifyigºg

figure la This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States, Mental disease and cardio-
vascular defects accounted for more than one-fourth of the White rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; more than four in every ten
Negro rejections were due to syphilis and mental diseases






Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 5.7 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 21.8 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 17.6 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 64.5 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate—
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
- 2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be Iſe-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942). .-
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942–MARCH 1943
NEW YORK CITY
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam~,
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of New York City
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 67,393 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes t
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations. -
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R.
In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining pnysician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
lefect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor des.
£ect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), show, the number of
22gistrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect. “
ºne number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
3iºthº show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
ir principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
3i
the
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
ºn the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in tº
state was 28.3 years.

Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and eye defects
accounted for approximately three in every ten white rejections at local boards
and induction stations in the state; more than one-fourth of the Negro rejections
were due to mental disease and eye defects.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection, For instance, mental disease accounted
for 7.0 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 19.3 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 17.3 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 76.4 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February l, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January le, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8, February l, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943 -
NORTH CAROLINA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of North Carolina
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 38,980 Forms 221 included in the
8ample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table Rs 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental. United States.
Table le Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations. x
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 27.4 years.
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and cardio-
vascular defects accounted for more than one in every five white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; approximately four in every ten
Negro rejections were due to syphilis and educational deficiency.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 2.4 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 13.5 percent of the
zejections at induction stations, and 9.7 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. A 3.9 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February l, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in D&S
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis.
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants fºs.
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were elimizia set.
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
ižable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942}.
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service regiº rants to be gº
Glassified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advige ºº
ilo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years ºf
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 13,
* gº & 6
2.343 ) 9
7, Ón December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over wag
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942},
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated,

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
NORTH DAKOTA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of North Dakota
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 4,567 Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes t
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor dese
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number ºf
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect,”
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examia-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according tº
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age,
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.9 years,
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States, Mental disease and hernia
accounted for approximately three in every ten white rejections at local boards
and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented because
of the small numbers in the sample.
Table 1. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 4.9 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 19.l percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and l3.7 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 68.4 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed ther in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1-9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942, Changes in this edition were made
February l, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be f*
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
ll.0, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRATs
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
OHTO
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Ohio
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 80,516 Forms 221 included in the
8ample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes 1
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number cf
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examir-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average ače-
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 27.9 years.
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and eye defects
accounted for slightly more than one-fifth of the white rejections at local boards
and induction stations in the state; approximately the same proportion of the Negro
rejections were due to syphilis &nd mental disease.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.2 percent of the rejections at local boards, for lly. 7 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 12.l, percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 59.6 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects.
Phyſical ºxamination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). -
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4, November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942),
7. On December 5, is 42, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Ssºvice State Dire:#6; Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy issuuction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
OKLAHOMA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Oklahoma
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 20,096 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States,
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-e
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number ºf
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defecte”
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average aée,
on the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.6 years.
Figure l. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for approximately three in every ten white rejections
at local boards and induction stations in the state; almost four in every ten
Negro rejections were due to syphilis and mental disease.
Table 1. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for l;.9 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 21.9 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 16.7 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 57.8 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
sic inati egulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and lo percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminate: ,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re.
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice IJo.
110, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
f APRIL 1942–MARCH 1943
OREGON
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Oregon
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 7,30l. Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes t
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated, -
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants-i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected,
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average ages
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 31.0 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Musculoskeletal and cardio-
vascular defects accounted for more than one-fourth of the white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not pre-
sented because of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed regis ants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 1.6 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 7.8 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 5.2 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 57.6 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate—
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
gical inati egulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l—9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
C. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table 1. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
2 ºrth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
..heir principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average aée.
On the basis of these tablulations the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 27.9 year 8.
Figure l- Whis f: scºre shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the c ::::inental United States. Cardiovascular defects and
mental disease accounted for almost one-fourth of the white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state; approximately four in every ten Negro
rejections were due to syphilis and cardiovascular defects.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3.8 percent of the rejections at local boards, for l?.9 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and ll.l percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections,
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 65.5 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1-9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
110, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942). -
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
RHODE ISLAND
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Rhode Island
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 6,051 Forms 221 included in the
8ample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants-—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age,
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 27.6 years.
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and cardio-
vascular defects accounted for one-third of the white rejections at local boards
and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented because
of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 5.7 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 22.5 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 19.3 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 46.0 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). * -
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Relaase No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4, November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942). -
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
SOUTH CAROLINA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of South Carolina
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 16,95|| Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includest
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure 1. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table 1. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined

On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.6 years.
Figure l. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for more than one-fourth of the white rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state; over one-half of the Negro re-
jections were due to educational deficiency and syphilis.
Table, i. Table 1 shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
3 registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
..ox le 7 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 16.l, percent of the
ºfections at induction stations, and ll. 2 percent of the total local board and
ºction station rejections,
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
£ºgistrant s inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
3r remediable defects. 55.l, percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gºy. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.

PRIMGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
SOUTH DAKOTA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of South Dakota
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 6,413 Forms 221 included in the
Sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes t
Table RS 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States,
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age-
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age ... 'egistrant's examined in the
state was 29.2 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for almost one-fourth of the white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented
because of the small numbers in the sample,
£able l. Table i shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
so: 3.8 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 15.8 percent of the
**śestions at induction stations, and l2.0 percent of the total local board and
*stion station rejections. - #
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
Žegistrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 58.3 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examinat Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
unt ºf the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
Jaguary 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Foº 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
tººs up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3, Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and 3 agistrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Sºce local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4, November 13, 1942, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
43.8% i.e. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
33.assified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
*...tº, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943 -
TENNESSEE
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Tennessee
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 30,700 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States. -
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations,
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1-5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.0 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Educational deficiency and
musculoskeletal defects accounted for approximately three in every ten white re-
jections at local boards and induction stations in the state; almost one-half of
the Negro rejections were due to syphilis and educational deficiency.
Tabla_1. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
*d registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
3 ºr 3.0 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 9.9 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 7.5 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections, *
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
e remediable defects. 52.1 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
lińºted service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
goº. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limi'ººd service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1-9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). -
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942–MARCH 1943 -
TEXAS
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Texas
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 59,815 Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221R. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.7 years.
Figure l- This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Educational deficiency and
musculoskeletal defects accounted for one-fourth of the white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state; more than one-half of the Negro rejec-
tions were due to syphilis and educational deficiency.
Table 1. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
e8 registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for is 2 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 9.7 percent of the
*ějections at induction stations, and 7.0 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 65.2 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
€ory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting ed., “ationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of tile colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942). *
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
1.1.0, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRIMGIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
UTAH
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Utah
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 3,539 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includest
Table RS 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
'ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 27.4 years.
e le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Cardiovascular defects and
hernia accounted for approximately one-third of the white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented
because of the small numbers in the sample. -
Table le Table i shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 4.2 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 9.5 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 7.4 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections. *
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 60.4 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
sical ination Regulations and Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DS8
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and lo percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be , re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 3,641 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includest
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
BS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.2 years.
Figure_1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculº-
skeletal defects accounted for more than one-third of the white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented
because of the small numbers in the sample.
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 6.5 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 38.5 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 27.3 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects, 28.8 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited_service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects.
sical ination Regulation d_Procedures. l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March, 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
WIRGINIA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Virginia
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 32,652 Forms 221 included in the
Bample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includest
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States,
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.

for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
BS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants—i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age,
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 27.9 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and educational
deficiency accounted for one-fourth of the white rejections at local boards and
induction stations in the state; almost one-half of the Negro rejections were due
to syphilis and educational deficiency.
Table l. Table I shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
sº registrant s by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 2.8 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 13.8 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and ll.O percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 52.), percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
£ory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hermia.
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and lo percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
Žiº, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants 18 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 13,
1942).
7, 6n December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated,

PRIlföIFAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
WASHINGTON
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Washington
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The ll,973 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes: -
Table RS 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table l. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili–
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l-5 show the results of physical
examination of the se registrants--i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 29.9 years.
Figure le. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Musculoskeletal defects and
hernia accounted for approximately three in every ten of the White rejections at
local boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not pre-
sented because of the small numbers in the sample •
Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 3-5 percent of the rejections at local boards, for lo.1 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 7.4 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 60.2 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
êory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia. -
Physical Examination Regulations and Procedures. 1. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations 1–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l–9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January, 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular lé9, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army–Navy induction procedure was initiated.

PRINCIPAL DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
WEST WIRGINIA
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of West Virginia
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 20,161 Forms 221 included in the
sample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includest
Table RS 221B. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States.
Table la Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
RS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated.
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns 1–5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants——i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average age.
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.4 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for almost one-fourth of the white rejections at local
boards and induction stations in the state; more than four in every ten of the
Negro rejections were due to syphilis and cardiovascular defects.
j,
ed registraßg by piece of rejestion. Foº instance, mental disease accounted
fos 2.2 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 14.8 percent of the
*ějsºłions at $nduction gºtions, and lled, percent of the total local board ºf
induction station rejections, **
Teº is Table l ahows the distribution of principal defects among rejecte
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrant & inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects, 53.0 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was eye defects,
£ºysical ºminatiºn ºilagiggg and Procedures, i.e. The physical standardº
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l-9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942, Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army-Navy inductions began. (MR 1-9, Changes No. 1 a
January 22, 1943).
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in p5%
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943.
2. On August 1, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regiº-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registraats fº
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942),
3, Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminatº,
and registrents were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1943, gegistrants 18 and 19 years of age became militariº
liable. (Selective Service focal Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942}s

PRI Gº, DEFECTS OF INDUCTED AND REJECTED REGISTRANTS
APRIL 1942-MARCH 1943
WISCONSIN
This report is based on a representative sample of Reports of Physical Exam-
ination and Induction, DSS Forms 221, received from the State of Wisconsin
during the year April 1942–March 1943. The 23,997 Forms 221 included in the
8ample represent only registrants who were physically examined at local boards
and induction stations during the year. The report includes:
Table RS 221R. "Principal Defects of Inducted and Rejected Registrants."
Figure l. The five leading causes for rejection, by race, in the state
and in the continental United States,
Table 1. Percent distribution of principal causes for rejection at local
boards and induction stations.
Table 2. Percent distribution of principal defects of registrants inducted
for limited service or rejected for limited service or re-
mediable defects.
HS 221B. In the basic table (RS 221R) are presented the principal defects
of inducted and rejected registrants in relation to (a) acceptability for mili-
tary service and (b) year of birth. The term "Principal Defect" may be defined
as follows: (a) for rejected registrants it was the most serious defect record-
ed as the cause for rejection; (b) for inducted registrants, the principal defect
was the first defect entered by the examining physician in an order-of-importance
arrangement. Thus, a rejected registrant may have had more than one disqualifying
defect; and, similarly, an inducted registrant may have had more than one minor de-
fect; but, in either case, only the first defect was tabulated,
The column "Total Number Physically Examined" (Column 8), shows the number of
registrants who had each of the defects listed under the column "Principal Defect."
The number of registrants who had no recorded defects and the total number examin-
ed are shown at the foot of the column. Columns l—5 show the results of physical
examination of these registrants--i.e., whether they were inducted or rejected.
The columns under the heading "Total Number Physically Examined by Year of
Birth" show the number of registrants in each year of birth group according to
their principal defect. The proportion of registrants in each group who had no
defects can readily be computed from these columns, as well as the average ages
On the basis of these tablulations, the average age of registrants examined in the
state was 28.5 years.
Figure 1. This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejection
in the state and in the continental United States. Mental disease and musculo-
skeletal defects accounted for approximately three in every ten White rejections
at local boards and induction stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not
presented because of the small numbers in the sample.



Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 5.0 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 19.3 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 15.6 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections,
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 69.1 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
gical ºxamination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l–9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR 1-9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). **
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943. 's
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants 18 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942). -
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants lö to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 12,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
8. February 1, 1943, joint Army-Navy induction procedure was initiated.

Figure is This figure shows by race, the five leading causes for rejectiº
in the gºsº, and in the continental United States. Musculoskeletal defects and
hernia accounted for one-fourth of the white rejections at local boards and indºº-
tion stations in the state. Data for Negroes are not presented because of the
small numbers in the sampia,








Table l. Table l shows the distribution of principal defects among reject-
ed registrants by place of rejection. For instance, mental disease accounted
for 2.9 percent of the rejections at local boards, for 4.6 percent of the
rejections at induction stations, and 3.7 percent of the total local board and
induction station rejections.
Table 2. This table presents the distribution of principal defects among
registrants inducted for limited service and those rejected for limited service
or remediable defects. 40.9 percent of the registrants who were inducted for
limited service had eye defects which placed them in the limited service cate-
gory. The greatest single principal cause for rejection of registrants with
limited service or remediable defects was hernia.
Physical ºxamination Regulations and Procedures, l. The physical standards
prescribed for induction station examinations during the period covered by this
report are contained in Mobilization Regulations l—9, March 15, 1942, in effect
until the revision of October 15, 1942. Changes in this edition were made
February 1, 1943, when joint Army–Navy inductions began. (MR l—9, Changes No. 1,
January 22, 1943). -
Physical standards for local boards during the period were contained in DSS
Form 220, List of Defects, which was revised on August 15, 1942 and again on
December 31, 1942, and on January 16, 1943. -
2. On August l, 1942, the Army began accepting educationally deficient regis-
trants up to 10 percent of the white and 10 percent of the colored registrants for-
warded for induction on any day. (War Department Circular 169, June 1, 1942).
3. Beginning August 20, 1942, the limited service categories were eliminated,
and registrants were inducted for limited service on a quota basis. (Selective
Service Local Board Release No. 147, August 15, 1942).
4. November 13, 1942, registrants l8 and 19 years of age became militarily
liable. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 163, November 16, 1942).
5. November 25, 1942, the percentage of limited service registrants to be re-
classified and forwarded for induction was restricted. (State Director Advice No.
llo, November 25, 1942).
6. On December 5, 1942, voluntary enlistment of registrants l8 to 38 years of
age was terminated. (Selective Service Local Board Release No. 172, December 13,
1942).
7. On December 5, 1942, induction of registrants 38 years old and over was
suspended. (Selective Service State Director Advice No. 115, December 7, 1942).
