Changes In The Draft Decrease Top Age To Twenty Five
The Chicago Daily Tribune argues against giving the President discretion to defer training for older draftees. It contends lowering the draft ceiling to 25 and letting the President waive requirements would undermine Congress and risk battle-readiness for a potential large expeditionary force. It stresses that a broad war effort would require 8 to 10 million troops, with younger men better suited for prolonged service.
