Soldiers With Joh Contract
Can Get Discharged From
Army Three Months Early
WASHINGTON, (ffi — A new
Army regulation permits the re
lease of a soldier from service
three months early if he holds a
contract for a civilian job.

the Army after Ft. Eustis, Va., of
ficials said the rule would allow
Willie Mays, New York Giants’
centerfielder, to- get out of the
Army three months ahead of
schedule. It would enable Mays to
join the Giants in spring training.
The Army said the regulation,
issued a month ago, provides for
release of a soldier ahead of nor
mal expiration of his service if:
1. He has served 21 months.
2. Can present evidence to show
that his employment is governed
by contract, usually on a fixed
date of each year.

earlier than 10 days prior to date
