Denver Professor Accepts Institute Chairmanship
Selective service officials said the chief executive wished Stimson to have the honor of drawing the first number from the same goldfish bowl which was used during the World War conscription.
The ceremonies, to be held in the International Government auditorium. will be opened at noon to Tuesday of next week with Mr. Roosevelt's address. Then Stimson will draw a number.
The White House said tonight that Mr. Roosevelt's address will take 10 or 15 minutes and will be broadcast nationally. It will explain the aims and purposes of the conscription program.
CLASSES DETERMINED The lottery will determine the order in which the more than 16.-21 and 36 who registered last Wednesday, will be classified and considered for induction into army service.
Dykstra explained that capsules numbered from one through the highest number of men registered at any local selective service board, will be placed in the bowl. After Stimson draws the first number, others will take up the task. This operation is expected to take 12 hours or longer, Dykstra said, explaining that the number of capsules probably will exceed 7000. NUMBERS ASSIGNED Local draft boards will assign
