Draft age limits debated at Capitol as Roosevelts authority discussed
Washington reports indicate military leaders favor restricting conscription to ages 21 through 24 and seek to amend the selective service law to give the President discretion on the top age limit. The War Department supported a defined ceiling while critics warn against a blank check. Anthony Reynolds urged returning to the original draft to set a clear age, with some noting that older registrants could still be called if needed. Reggie Childs and his orchestra perform at Casa Loma Dancing Pavilion this week, with nightly shows through Friday.
