Truman Tells Press He
Hopes Congress Will Ex-

WASHINGTON, May 16. -lP-
Drafting of childless men who are
rs through % years Of age was
authorized Thursday by President
Truman to save what we can from
the near wreckage of the Selective
Service system"
Consumption Of men in that
age group was stopped by the
President shortly after the fall
of Japan. Mr.. Truman announced
in a news conference statement
that he was authorizing the War
and Navy secretaries to call upon
Selective Service for the induction
Of such men.
The President repeated his criti-
cism, made Tuesday night when
he signed the 45-day extension
law which stopped the induction of
teen-age boys and fathers, that it
was 'bad legislation" Under the
Draft Extension act and Mr. Tru-
mans authorization Thursday all
men except fathers, between 20
and 80 years of age are subject
to induction call.
ut is to be hoped" he said,
"that before July first, when the
present extension expires, the Con-
gress will extend Selective Service
for a year in a form that will meet
the nations requirements.
To illustrate his assertion that
the extension law was loosely
drawn" the President said it pro
vided that men up to IS years,
seven months of age could be
drafted, although seemingly it
was the intent of Congress to in
clude only those now under 80"
He said there also was nothing in
the law to prevent the re-induction
of men already discharged.
The War department does not
want men over 80 years of age, he
said, and men over that age will
not be .recIassifieo.
