enter the armed forces by induction prior to or after October 6, 1946, or by enlistment after October 6, 1946.

(b) We have been advised by the Veterans Administration as follows:

The Servicemen's Readjustment Act (Public Law 346, 78th Congress) applies to anyone who served in the active military or naval forces of the United States during the period of World War II. It follows, therefore, that anyone who is drafted at the present time may be eligible for the benefits provided under said Act, but some of these benefits will depend upon the period of time served; and this period is, of course, problematical, inasmuch as it is not known when the war will be declared at an end. As to those veterans who enlisted or reenlisted subsequent to October 6, 1945, and prior to October 6, 1946, under the provisions of Public Law 190, 79th Congress, approved October 6, 1945, the period of the war for the purpose of benefits under the Servicemen's Readjustment Act will continue until the termination of such period of enlistment or reenlistment. Consequently, one who enlists or reenlists may be entitled to more substantial benefits than one who is drafted.

The benefits of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act are confined to those who served during the period of World War II, and the termination thereof is defined by Section 1502 of the Act to mean the termination of the war as declared by Presidential proclamation or by concurrent resolution of the Congress. It follows that under the Act as it now stands there is no authority to credit anyone with service for benefits thereunder after the termination of World War II except those veterans provided for under Public Law 190, 79th Congress, whose service may extend beyond the termination of the war.

(c) It would appear therefore that all persons who enter the armed forces, either by enlistment or induction, whether before or after October 6, 1946, become eligible for benefits under the "GI Bill of Rights" (Servicemen's Readjustment Act-Public Law 346, 78th Congress) providing, of course, that they otherwise qualify and depending in some measure upon the date when the war will be declared officially terminated. The only advantage that accrues to those who enlist under the Voluntary Recruitment Act prior to October 6, 1946, over other enlistees or over inductees, is that those enlistees will be assured service credit for the entire period of their enlistment should the war be declared terminated during such period of enlistment. Other veterans, under existing legislation, will not receive service credit for time served after the official termination of the war.

(d) The amount of service credit which a veteran has determines the amount of educational benefits and readjustment allowances to which he may be entitled, but is not involved in the other benefits under the "GI Bill." For instance, eligibility for loans under the "GI Bill" requires only the entrance into active military service prior to the termination of the war and the basic 90 days' service, any part of which may be served after the termination of the war. The amount of education to which a veteran will be entitled over and above the first year, however, will depend entirely upon the amount of wartime service credit which he has, as will the number of weeks of readjustment allowances to which he may be entitled. [State Director Advice No. 339, Sept. 18, 1946, 11 F.R. 10651]

§ 672.340 Reclassification of 19-year old registrants. (a) There exist numerous cases of registrants who were classified into a class available for service and who were not liable for induction by reason of that classification because of the passage of an amendment to the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, which prohibited the induction of registrants under the age of 19 years without their consent. Subsequent to that time, many of these registrants have become or will become liable for service in the armed forces.

(b) Such registrants should be allowed an opportunity to present any new information to local boards following which classification will be considered anew. Thus, all registrants who have become 19 years of age subsequent to the enactment of Public Law 473, 79th Congress (60 Stat. 341), and who were classified prior to June 29, 1946, shall have their cases reopened and their classifications considered anew prior to being processed for induction. [State Director Advice No. 340, Sept. 18, 1946, 11 F.R. 106521

§ 672.341 Medical survey. The administration of the Medical Survey Program involves considerable personnel and expense, and since there is left available for delivery to the army for examination very few registrants who have not had the benefit of the Medical Survey Program at some time since 1943, the operation of the Medical Survey Program as a Selective Service function has been discontinued effective November 1, 1946.

Some State Directors may find it advantageous to continue to work with State and local welfare boards and this will be permitted if it entails no expense to the Selective Service System.

State Director Advice No. 266, Issued: June 6, 1944, As Amended: September 8, 1946. Subject: Medical Survey, has served its purpose and is therefore hereby rescinded. [State Director Advice No. 341, Oct. 2, 1946, 11 F.R. 11482]

§ 672.342 Classification as affected by Public Law 473, 79th Congress (60 Stat. 341). (a) Questions have been presented to this headquarters concerning the classification procedures to be followed in the case of a registrant classified in Class I-C (Disc.) who has not completed sufficient military service to be exempt from reinduction under the provisions of Public Law 473, but who is not otherwise eligible for reinduction.

(b) It is believed that "Class I-C (Disc.)" is synonymous with the word "veteran" when it applies to registrants who do not meet the test of Public Law 473 but who are not eligible for reinduction. Thus, any registrant classified in Class I-C (Disc.) who is not eligible for reinduction, being either a father or of an age outside the established limits of acceptability, should be retained in Class I-C (Disc.).

(c) Any registrant in Class I-C (Disc.) who is considered for reinduction should be considered for each class in the order established in § 623.21 of this chapter. If it is found that he qualifies for any of these classifications, he should be retained in Class I-C (Disc.).

(d) Any registrant in Class I-C (Disc.), regardless of whether he qualifies for service under the provisions of Public Law 473, who volunteers for induction, should likewise be considered for classification in accordance with the provisions of § 623.21 of this chapter, and if it is found that he qualifies for any classification other than classification in Class I-A or Class I-A-O, he should be retained in Class I-C (Disc.).

(e) Local Board Memorandum No. 77-C (§ 671.77 (c) of this chapter) does not specifically state that a registrant who is eligible for reclassification into a class available for service should have his report of physical examination reviewed at State headquarters in accordance with the provisions of Local Board Memorandum No. 77-E (§ 671.77 (e) of this chapter). The provisions for review, as set forth in Local Board Memorandum No. 77-E, may be applied to registrants described in Local Board Memorandum No. 77-C if, in the opinion of the State Director, this procedure is desirable.
