Conscription Bill Urges Broad Male Registration
Col Juliaa Adler of The New York Times told Princeton alumni a conscription bill would soon reach Congress. It would require registration of all males 18 to 65 and compel training in peacetime for ages 21 to 45, with broader wartime training for 18 to 68. Adler estimated 70 to 80 percent of 21 to 92 would be drafted, 10 to 15 percent of 32 to 88, and 3 to 7 percent of 38 to 45.
