Army May Take Off
37.Year-0Id Age
Service Limitation

WASHINGTON. March 8. up
A Selective Service directive order
ing reclaSsification of over-age men
indicated today that the present
draft age maximum of 81 may later
be litter TO obtain men for limited
service and TO force others into
essential occupations and agricul-
ture.
The broadest hint was found in
the order that all All registrants
who have no claim to deferment
other than age are to be classified
IA so that they will be the first
men over 38 inducted if and when
the armed forces determine they
can be used in the military estab-
lishment."
GAVE INFERENCE
By using the term "militarr es-
tablishment," Selective Service gave
the inference that the present line
of thinking is that these men could
be used at desk jobs and for types
of service other than fighting. That
would release younger men for
combat.
Selective Service and war man
power commission officials would
not comment on the full meaning
of the move, but one said its first
objective was to help ease the farm
labor problem. 1t also was said that
the move would serve to attract
men in non -deferrable jobs TO jobs
contributing to the war effort.
SHOULD SHIFT
A list of jobs for which no defer
ment will be given after May l.,
regardless of dependency, was is
sued recently. but at that time it
affected only men aged 18 through
81, as older men were not in the
draft age. With the reclassification
order. there was the hint TO men
aged 39 to as that they best had
shift to essential occupations and
thereby get an occupational defer
ment.
