Fourth Registration OF
Men from, 45to65, April
z7,Is Only Count Of Noses
CContinued from Page One)

Although the law provides for
registration of men As TO 90, there
isn't now any law for drafting
these men into the armed forces
or into the industrial and agricul-
tural pursuits that provide the war
machine with its sinews. And there
isn't any pressure either public or
official on Congress TO pass such
a law at this time.
This catalogue OF skills will how
ever. show exactly Just how vast
an Army this country could support
If its total man power were mobil-
lied. The final answer to The ulti-
mate and complete war effort could
not, of course. be given until wo-
men and men under 20 also are
registered and catalogued.
one question that is constantly
asked by those registrants in the
third draft, sc to "A years old, is:
What are the chances that will
be called into military service?" 1t
doesn't do any good to take that
question to Selective Service. They'll
give you the fishy eye and the stock
answer to all questions they don't
want to bubble about: That's a
matter for the Army and the local
boards"
