Liberal Draft Plan Faces Limits Under New Policies
Selective Service officials say a liberalized draft plan is being drafted to meet Army needs. Estimates place possible inductees at 155 000 men aged 29 and under by March 31 if rules are relaxed, with Maj. Gen. Paul noting an Army requirement of 185 000. Officials suggest raising age limits could boost numbers, while current law allows drafts up to age 44 and 18 year olds must register but are not called. Expect announcements on deferment policy next week.
