June 30, 1966 are not yet
available but the State Se
lective office has stated that
ja total of 57,095 persons were
examined In that year with
17,874 being rejected for men
~tal reasons. "Statewide this
means our rejection rate for
mental reasons last year was
31.3 percent, a definite but
by no means satisfying Im
provement over the five-year
figure," Dr. Carroll said.
During the period 1959 to
1964 military calls for men
were relatively low. Most re
gistrants were not examined
until they were near the age
of 23--flve years after the
normal high school gradu
ation age of 16. The Surgeon
General's office reports that
most of those rejected for
mental reasons were school
dropouts. Since most of these
do so at about the age of 16
years, many of the young men

of Agriculture Orvllle Free
man, and Horace Godfrey, ad
ministrator of the Agriculture
Stabilization and Conservation
Service, worked out the de
tails of the agreement In a
meeting Wednesday night.
The Agriculture Department
announcement said that It had
been established that buyers
are not equipped presently to
handle the entire crop In un
tied form, that some foreign
buyers do not have facilities
for handling untied tobacco and
that time Is needed for pro
cessors to adjust equipment
for handling greater quantities
of untied leaf.
As a result, the department
announced, the period of offer
ing supports on untied tobacco
will be extended on a gradual
basis.
At Raleigh, N. C., W. P.
Hedrlck, executive secretary
of the Flue-Cured Tobacco
Growers Association, said the
decision "Is a step In the right
direction. It wlllbe a big
boost for grower?^ and cut
down on their labor cost."
He added, "At tobacco hear
ings, growers asked for sup
ports on untied tobacco
throughout the season. The
decision doesn't go that far,
but we didn't expect It to.
The thing that Is encourag
ing Is that by 1969 they will
be able to sell untied tobacco
at supports throughout the
season."
Marlon S. Fowler, executive
director of the South Carolina
Warehouse Association, said
the move "certainly will work
to better the marketing oppor
tunity for the tobacco
grower."
"However, we feel the grow
er normally ought to be al
lowed to offer loose-leaf to
bacco at any time In the sea
son," he said. "In addition
the association recognizes
there are many complex, pro
blems Involved In the markets.
All of these must of necessity
be taken into account.

who were examined at age 23
In 19S9 and 1960 would have
dropped out of school around
1952. Even those who re
mained In school until age 18,
and who were examined In
1964 at 23 years of age, would
not have been In school since
1959.
This means that many of the
registrants Included In the
five-year study would not have
had the advantage of more re
cent Statewide educational Im
provements?reduction In the
teacher-pupil rat lo, State
funds tor the employment of
attendance counselors, gui
dance counselors made pos
sible by the Vocational Edu
cation Act of 1963, Increased
library materials and ser
vices, and new and Improved
curriculum.
During the fiscal year 1965
66, the age at which most
registrants were examined
was lowered to 19 and 20.
Therefore, most of the re
gistrants examined during
that year would have been In
high school during 1963, 1964,
and some In the spring of
1965.
sixty-eight counties baa less
than 50 percent of their youth
who were examined for mili
tary service rejected for men
tal reasons and 32 had more
than 50 percent rejected for
mental reasons, the five-year
analysis reveals. Obviously,
the number of registrants In
cluded In the county by county
study would correspond
roughly with county popula
tion or, more specifically,
with the number of young men
within the age of liability for
military service In each coun
ty. In counties with small
populations, the number of
registrants included In the
five-year study Is as low as
67 In Dare County and In more
populous counties the number
Is as high as 3,000 registrants
In Mecklenburg and Guilford.
The number of registrants
rejected by the armed forces
for mental reasons Includes
three categories: those who
failed the mental examination
only, those who failed the
mental examination and also
failed to pass the physical
examination, and those with
limited tralnablllty. The ana
lysis does not include those
who were disqualified for
moral or medical reasons un
less they also failed the men
tal examination. The third ca
tegory of mental rejections,
those with limited tralnablllty,
are persons who made re
latively low scores but who
may be called by the military
In time of emergency.
Of the 169 county and city
school systems In the State,
only 71 enrich their educa
tional opportunities through
local tax supplements. In the
25 counties with the highest
mental rejection rate for mi
litary service, only seven
school systems have a local
tax supplement for enrichment
purposes. In contrast, 25
county and/or city school sys
tems located within the 25
counties with the lowest re
jection rate do have local tax
supplements. Also, local sup
plements in these counties are
considerably greater than in
the other counties having
them.
The 25 counties wlththe
lowest rejection rate, ranging
from 20.3 percent to 33.3
percent, are Transylvania,
Henderson, Dare, Burke, Ran
dolph, Forsyth, Buncombe,
Caldwell, Stanly, Haywood,
