new law is "a months instead of
the 21 under the expiring law.
Although the minimum induc-
ton age under the new law is 18tz
years, men still must register
when they become IS.
The new law makes draft-age
aliens liable to service If they de-
sire permanent residence: reduces
mental and physical standards
for acceptance for service: puts
new top of 100000 tM) on the
overall size of the armed forces:
and permits the induction of eli
gible men whose sole dependents
are their wives.
