soldiers of any age\group on the grounds that restrictions would be impracticable from a military standpoint. ~ He referred. to a letter which he sent to then Senator ‘Rgynolds (D. N. C) in October, 1942, in which he opposed a proposal to make 12 months training mandatory before ‘an individual under: 20 years df age could be sent to a combat zone. “Such limitation would impose an alMmost impossible administrative problem on the war department,” the general said then, “Trust’ our judgment and eur own insistence that we fight only with properly trained uhits to see that each ‘soldier has adequate training ‘before he enters combat.” ‘Marshall Comments

After citing this. letter and sin ilar statements” made by Secretary of War Stimson, Gen, Marshall‘said to Rep. Hess: ! XI believe you will find, therefore, than an analysis _ef our expressions on this subject will reveal. that the war department was consistently opposed to the restriction to which you refer.” ~The" general continued: “I have become - aware of a rather widespread misunderstand-. ing that 18-year-olds are not to be sent overseas until they. reach the age of 19. “It apparently owes its origin to the lack of understanding of the difference between the training of a large military organization such as a division : (which requires a year or more) and the training

required for an individual, which can be salisfactorily conducted

| in a period from 13 to 17 weeks.

“Throughout the war we have attempted to consider the 18-year-old group as a special class of soldiers in view of the understandable attitudes of the families concerned, From time to time this has prompted - the retention of these men in this country until the age of 19. “At other times they have had to proceed normally into the ree placement stream because of mili- - tary needs.” * He referred to. Undersecretary of War Patterson's statement of last December announcing ' that the military situation necessitated a change in the general war department policy which until that time had been hot to send men under 19 abroad. In view of the increased need for: replacements, Mr. Patterson said at that time, soldiers under 19 are being sent’ abroad, but only those who are “stifficiently” trained,
