Discussing enlargement Of the age
unit for selective military service, Pro-
ut Marshal General Crozier said:
"A pronounced majority Of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
pers II great diversity Of opinion as
the proper age limit. Nineteen and
irty-fve are perhaps the limits most
HeVus9tly suggested; but some recon-
As6d forty or forty-iva years az the
ppsr limit. There is distinctly
xon@ar demand for raising the maxi
Mpm ase than for lowering the mini
mkom."
