Gen. Crozier Discusses Age Limit
Enlargement of Selective
Service Law.

Discussing enlargement of the age
limit for selective service. Provost
Marshal General Crozier said:
"a pronounced majority of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there is great diversity of opinion as
to the proper age limit Nineteen
and 35 are perhaps the limits most
frequently suggested; but some rec
ommend 40 or IS years as the upper
limit There is a distinctly stronger
demand for raising the maximum
age than for lowering the minimum. 4"
Gen. Crozier estimates that 1885,
1888 acceptable single men would be
made available by an increase in the
age limit to include men up to As
years. The estimate places the num-
Der of acceptable single men between
IS and 21 years at 1.546.283. The
number of probably acceptable single
men already registered but not called
is 1,321,S45. According to these fig
ures, should the age limit be enlarg-
ed to include men of from Is years
to AS years. inclusive, 4,257,516 ply
sically and otherwise qualified I'M
married men would be open for call
to service.
