Brittish Seek More Troops In New Call LONDON, Dec. 12-(3)-Winston Churchill called upon the nation Tuesday for 3,000,000 more mili tary conscripts and for power to require young women to serve m uniform. The crisis cf equipment is largely over," he told the house of commons. "The crisis of man power and womanpower is at hand and will dominate the year 1942." Specifically, the prime minis ter announced the government proposed to stretch the conscrip tion age limits to 18Vi-to-50, as compared with the present limits of 19-to-41. The method of reservation from military service is to be changed from the present system of exemp tion by occupational blocs to one of individual deferment. Hence forth, said Churchill, "the sole test should be the importance to th war effort of the work on which they are engaged."
