Calf. Draftees to
Remain il, Arr,V
For Rest OF Year

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 20 (UP) -
State selective service headquarters
today said it was doubtful if any
California selectees would be re-
leased from the army before Feb
ruary under the new army policy of
releasing men after Ia to 18 months
service.
The headquarters explained that
the first groups of soldiers to be
inducted in California in November,
1910, and last January all were vol
unteers. Thus none would be re-
leased before late February at the
earliest.
Of the 10000 California national
guardsmen, none could be released
automatically until January, 1912,
it was said.
Officials said there were no age
records from which it could be de-
termined how many men over "a
or with dependents could be dis
charged under the amendment tC
the draft act signed this week by
President Roosevelt. However, it was
said that no reports have been re-
! ceiVed of over-age men asking fol
| release.
