Draft Boards
Must Determine
Age Deferment

q Selective Service Headquar-

ed today. that they must make
their own decisions In the c1ses
of selectees % years Of age or
older who are now in lire for
induction but who may be defer
red a few weeks hence under
pending legislation.
The headquarters statement
was issued in response to num-
erous inquiries by boards a. to
what course to pursue in view
of the senate-approved bill now
before the House which would
empower the President to give
deferment from military train
ing to all men who have reach
ed the age OF % by July /.
While passage of the lower
age Legislation appears pro-
bable, Selective Service head
quarters was understood to
have taken the position that 1t
could not forecast what hnal
action Congress might take and
that it therefore lacked author
ity to issue instructions In the
matter.
Officials of some boards re-
ported, however, that they had
been indirectly encouraged. to
find ways of postponing
the induction of the men affect
ed until such time as Congress
disposed of the pending bill.
