Army Cites Need For Release Lag
The Army told the House Military Committee that release of many soldiers under the point system will lag. Maj. Gen. Stephen Henry declined to lower the automatic discharge age below 40, despite calls for cuts to 38, 35 or 30. A new critical release score will be announced next month with no credit for service after May 12, 1945. The plan projects 100000 discharges this month rising to 200000 monthly in early 1948, with 12 months needed to complete demobilization for 2.0 million overseas and 3.4 million in the U.S. The Army expects 800000 new inductees via selective service in the next year, many over 30.
