NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Effect on Colleges: Would advance the median age of the nation's colleges by two years. Lack of students during first years of program--before men return in large numbers--might work a hardship on many institutions.

Chances of Passage: Now very small. The Administration Bill is in the Senate Military Affairs Committee at present. But many sources say now that the measure will be replaced with a long-range program, either a deferments plan, or U.M.S.

Proponents: Originally the Administration itself put up the bill.
