Baker told the senate military commute that the war department "for the present" believes it would He better not to change the draft ages. This practically Insures the rejection of an amendment to broaden the ages In cluding men from 20 to 40. Baker said the chief objection is that the amend ment Is not based on a thoroughly worked out plan. Baker's decision will not endanger deferred classes un less a grave emergency arises- t . SupMr Sufficient Now. " -Baker aaid: "I presented to the committee statements that ... for the present there are enough man in Class 1 for our prospective needs and whe the enlarged program of the United States is ready for presentation to Congress we will at the same tints have complete data on which to base any recommendations for changes In the draft age limits. - Under the pres ent program remaining calls this year will leave 250.000 men ln data 1 on i January 1. Extension of the draft next session and the probabl. regto tration of a tl class In December or January will supply new meo. It is expected 300.000 men will be added to Class 1 by the re-examination of questionnaires now progressing. 3.40O.000 By September Baker expressed Wilson's views al though he did not state it was Wil son's Ides- He merely expressed op position to the method of changing the ages.
