Men Reaching 36
AFTER Oct. 26
| Subject to Draft

Men who reach the age of So after
registration day are still subject
to one year of military service. an
official Of the Joint Army and Navy
Selective Service Committee said to-
day.
Although the Conscription Act had
previously been interpreted to apply
registration and service only to men
who have reached the age of 81
but not their 36th birthday ami
versary. the Joint Board ruled that
all men who register are subject to
service during the five-year life of
the act.
Thus. the official said. a man may
reach the age of SO the day after
October 16-registration day-and
be subject to call May Is, 1945, un-
less his classification status changes.
The official pointed out, however,
that local selection boards likely will
favor younger men for service.
