Washington, d. c. - The United

today that not only might he ask
such a step. but that he also might
seek to exclude men who turn 81,
the maximum age. before the second

As the law now stands. the War
Department apparently has power
to continue drawing men to fill up
quotas. After the first two 500, 600
groups have been called. the Secre.
tary Of War car get other men to
maintain these groups.

100000 men a year to- fill the gaps

this way with the national army, Ma
