tation to any army reception cen-
ter. This date, General Page em-
phasized, is the one for which
local demonstrations should be
planned. He said:
“Since all of the men assemb-
ling at the local board office after
a furlough period have been ac-
cepted for military service and or-
dered to active duty, none will be
faced with the embarrassment of
returning home rejected following
such ceremonies. The. local commu-
nities also can make their plans for
these ‘going away’ demonstrations
with definite knowledge that the
men are going into active service,
which was not possible under the
former procedure when group de-<
partures of selectees were for the
purpose of induction depending up-
on passing the army physical ex
amination.
“The new arrangement replaces
the present system of granting in-
ductees ten-day furloughs tipon
request and is expected to elimi-
nate any injustice which might
occur to men inducted immediately
following physical examination by
the army. Although every attempt
has been made to grant 10-day fur
loughs upon request, there have
been instances when such request*
were denied and in other cases in
ductees were unable to pay their
transportation to return home. As
the new system calls for the im
mediate release of all men who
wish to go home and/ payment o
the costs of their travel by the
army, there can be no discrimina-
tion against any inductee.
“The army will furnish transpor-
tation, meals and lodging of such
reservist en route to the city in
which the local board is located
and from that point to the recep
tion center.
“In the case of inducted men
who do desire to return to their
homes the following procedure will
be followed at the induction sta
tion:
“1. The inducted men will be
transferred immediately to the en-
listed reserve corps and will be giv-
en an order to proceed to the city
m which his local board is located!
2. At the same time on order
will be issued recalling him to
active service on a certain date and
ordering him to proceed on that
date from the city in which the
local board is located to designated
reception center for duty. The nor-
mal period between transfer to
the enlisted reserve corps and re-
call to active service will be 14
days. This period may be extended
or shortened by not to exceed two
day is an order to meet processing
schedules at Reception Centers, or
to prevent Sunday travel.”
Discussing the elimation of injus-
tices, General Page said:
“Many of the disadvantages of
the present system will be elimi-
nated in the new procedure. Every
man who wishes to return to his
home will be given the opportunity
to do so without being required to
establish his reasons for returning.
Investigation and recommendation
by the local board is no longer
necessary. Reservists are released
from active service at the induc-
tion station instead of the recep-
tion center. They travel at govern-
ment expense in local board groups
under an appointed leader.”
