Age Limit Debates Rise Over Draft Extensions
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey told Wharton students at the University of Pennsylvania that manpower shortages may force lowering the draft age from 21 to 18 or ending deferments for older men. He cited a 50 percent rejection rate for exam-called recruits and said 1.7 million more men will be registered next July 1. Without lowering the age, many deferments for men 21 to 28 may be canceled and previously rejected men re examined for minor disabilities.
