May Defer Until Full Action On Drafting Youths
Washington news reports next three months may decide if Congress lowers the selective service age from 20 to 18. Senator George of Georgia says a fall verdict is likely after summer campaigns and that 18-year-olds should not be drafted unless necessary. War Department favors younger enlistment while Taft cites estimates up to 4.5 to 5 million without 19-year-olds or men with families. Federal family allowances for soldiers could enable immediate induction of about 235 000 men once legislation passes. Senate delay on pay bill persists as joint committee works to harmonize House and Senate pay scales.
