Roosevelt weighs draft age change amid service plan shifts
President Roosevelt said the draft age may be revised this session as Congress and departments study the matter.

The Association of American Railroads plans a 14 1/2 cent lower fare for round trips for uniformed services travel. General George C. Marshall supports the felon policy change framing the new selective service regulations under preparation.
