OPPOSES LOWERING DRAFT AGE

The draft age limit will not be reduced below 21 years at the present time, is the opinion of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge '71, in a letter recently received by the CRIMSON. In the early part of the month communications from 66 members of Congress to the Yale News showed that although several senators and representatives favored a lowering of the draft age, a large majority opposed any change.

In discussing the matter, Senator Lodge said: "The question has not come before Congress at this session, but the age limits for the draft were most fully considered at the time of the passage of the Act, and it seems to me doubtful if anything will be done to change them at the present time with over 9,000,000 men registered. I should certainly oppose any proposal of this nature."
