something like 100000 men to draw
from.
One of the arguments for drafting
men of 81 for a years training, in
stead of spreading the obligation
up to the age of SO. is that a far
greater number would qualify for
military service.
The services would get. proponents
say, "the cream of the country's
young manhood" There would be a
much smaller percentage of rejec-
tions for physical unfltness, they
figure
Not only that, but those deferred
for other reasons-dependency and
vocations-would be far fewer
Few youths of 81 are married or
have other dependents, as compared
with the larger age group, and it
would be exceptional, observers
pointed out, to find one who could
be classed a necessary" man in
some industry or business.
Regarded as even more important
Is that class of 21-year- trainees
would remain in the vigor of youth
during the 10-year reserve period
which follows the year of military
service. Compared to the larger
group, a dWindling percentage of
reserves would be found unfit in any
emergency.
From the viewpoint of the men
themselves. the class-a-year plan
would be better, according to its
proponents A year away from their
civilian pursuits at this period, they
explain, would be less apt to inter-
fere with careers than at some later
period.
This would apply even more for
chilly to the boys 18 to 81 who might
be allowed to volunteer. Some of
them could serve their hitch" be-
tween high school and college with
out any serious setback in future
plans.
Under the present system, men of
IS inducted into service this year
will be 46-well into middle age-be-
fore their reserve period is over. They
cannot be expected, on the average,
to maintain the physical fitness of
younger men.
Should Congress adopt the pro-
posed class plan. registrants above
q awaiting a future call to the
colors probably would be placed on
an indefinitely deferred list, with
the new group of 21-year-olds
pushed ahead
Various attempts to amend the
selective service law are considered
certain to be made at the next ses-
sion. The proposals to change the
system of selection and to raise or
remove the numerical limitation on
training groups have the support of
some directing officials of the de-
fense organization. military and
civilian. These amendments are be-
ing discussed on Capitol Hill.
