May Resurvey 3 A Men and Reserve Officer Plans
The report details a possible resurvey of 3-A men and notes no official action yet. It outlines Army and Air Force plans to release reserve officers who decline commissions of indefinite length, with Navy and Marine Corps already doing so. An Army spokesman says indefinite appointments would cut renewal costs and mirror regular officers with five-year probationary scrutiny. Those who decline after 60 days may be discharged at the end of current or extended terms, while new extensions await legislation. President Truman may sign an order extending commissions over five years until April 1.
