Dear Doctor allen:

Thank you for your letter of the 24th, relative
oo George's possible draft status.

in view of that situation, it does appear that
he'll probably have to go into service before
May 15th. If so, I womer if it might be smart
to check around to see if there would be

any advantage for him to try some form of en-
listment, to possibly cut down the time he may
be retained in the service.

it seems that Congress is planning some moves
to try to step up enlistments, and I doubt if
the draft law will be emtended beyon@ May 15th.
Shouid it appear that George would not be called
‘prior to that time, perhaps he would ~~ be
called at all.

anyway, we much appreciate your interest in the
matter. i1'll try to see another of your basket
pall games, and we can discuss the ttatter then.
