Relief Crew Trying
Army Asks To
Up Draft Age
WASHINGTON, July 12 P
The army has recommended to
President Truman that the top
draft age be boosted from 29 to
34 years when induction calls
are resumed in September.
Few. if any, men over -iti have
been drafted' since V-J day last
August.
The war department recom

by an official familiar with it
atter me American luuiicu uu
Education heard an assertion last
night that selective service ex
pects to "scrape the bottom of
the manpower barrel as it's
never been scraped before," by
next March.
The declaration came from
Col. George A. Irwin, chief of
the demobilization division of se-1
only incidentally in the course of
his informal address that the
army does not want any men
over 35.
Heretofore the army has been
reluctant to take men over 25,
although while the stop-gap
draft law was in effect from May
15 to June 30 men through 29
were being processed for induc
tion. Informed of Irwin's new age
reference, the official who asked
not to be quoted by name said

Social Service
Work Praised
PORTLAND, July 12 W
The Portland council of social
agencies reported today after
three months' study that the old
adage, "an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure" is true
here, too, and urged more pre
ventive social work in the city.
"Prevention costs one-tenth
the amount that delinquent care
costs, once delinquency has been
established." said Walter A.
Durham, council chairman, as he
pointed to tremendous wartime
increases in delinquency and de
pendent children. "It is more
economical, financially and in
terms of human lives, for agen
cies to increase early service to
families, preventing placement
of children away from home."
The committees which con
ducted the survey also recom
mended more group work and
recreational programs in certain
city districts, and increased sal
aries to retain competent wel
fare workers here.
