VOICE BELIEF I MEN 33 NEEDED TO FILL QUOTA

Some Think Recruiting, Induction of Youths Is Inadequate.

WASHINGTON, July 13 (U. P.).— Reliable sources reported today that

the war department's general staff is split over whether men 29 through 35 years of age should again be drafted. The war department officially said “it may be necessary” to consider the induction of men through age 35. The White House yesterday statéd that the army would recommend to President Truman that the top induction age be raised from 29 to 34

om e army said it would specify that further draft calls be filled by’ men within the 19 to 29 age bracket “insofar as possible.” “If in the future it is found that there are insufficient personnel within this age bracket to satisfy manpower requirements,” the war department, said, “it may be necessary to consider the induction of men through age 35.” 1,070,000 by July 1 Differences of opinion on army manpower supplies at the general staff level centers on results of the army's voluntary recruiting program. Some top-ranking officers are sald to believe that the recruiting program plus draft of the younger men will provide jhe army with sufficient men to meet its projected strength of 1,070,000 by July 1, 1947. Other: officers think the total will be reached only if older men ‘are drafted. Spokesmen for the war department’s personnel branch state that the army does not want men over 29 because of their physical condition and lack of enthusiasm for duty. Army recruiting experts report there has been a recént spurt of enlistments but it will take several weeks to determine whether the trend will become permanent. Want G.I Rights A spokesman said the recruiting rise probably was caused by a rush of men to sign up before expiration July 1 of an offer of family allotments for the entire enlistment term. Tt also was caused, he said, by a desire by high ‘school graduates to become eligible for a college education under the G.I bill of rights, Selective service officials estimate they can draw 220,000 men from the 19 through 35 age groups between Sept. 1, when draft calls are resumed, and March 31, 1947, when the present draft law expires. To reach the total, selective servdce wowid have to invoke more stringent deferment regulations and call men up for physical examinations who Previously have been reJected, Secretary of War Robert: P. Patterson has stated that the army desires an all-volunteer force, if possible, without again resorting to the draft.
