NEW DRAFT AGE
DESIRE OF BAKER
SLIKELY 20 TO s.
War Secretary Denies That
Changes Are TO Be 10 Mini
mum and 40 Maximum

Washington, Aug. 2.-Changes in
the draft age limits favored by the
War Department will be submitted
to Congress in the form OF an ad-
ministration measure which will be
introduced simultaneously In the
House of Congress next Thursday by
the chairmen of the Senate and
House military affairs committee.
Official announcement OF this plan
was made yesterday by Secretary OF
War Baker. following a conference
he had short time before with
Representative Dent, OF Alabama,
chairman OF the House military COM
mlttee. Upon the return of Senator
Cham mberlain, of Oregon, chairman
of the Senate committee, to Wash
inston tomorrow, Secretary Baker
expects to confer with him on the
new measure.
Secretary Baker said during the
day that he has reached his decis-
ion on the changes that should be
made. He said he went over the pro-
gram with Chairman Dent and will
give Chairman Chamberlain the
same information at the earliest op-
portunity. Senator Cham mberlain will
be invited to bring with him to the
War Department as many members
of the committee as he can assem-
BILE during the recess of Congress.
4 fiat denial was made by Secre-
tary Baker of the report printed in
the afternoon that he had decided to
recommend lowering the present 81
year-old minimum to 19 and raising
the present Sl-year minimum TO 20.
Until he has had a chance TO advise
ConCress OF all of the changes he
favors, Mr.. Baker will not reveal the
program, but he said
the limits l9 TO 40 had been consid-
cred and definitely rejected.
20 TO S5. Inclusive, Probable
There IS deep-seated belief. new
ertheless. that the changes which the
War Department will ask Congress
10 make effective by the passage of
4 concurrent resolution will be for
a twenty-year-old minimum and a
thirty y-tive-year-ol maximum, both
a ges inclusive.
