Drafting 161,000 youths for year training plan outlined

Washington April 27 A program for drafting 161,900 youths for one year training service was outlined for the Senate Armed Services Committee. Chairman Gurney said the plan would draft for ten years with service for men 19 to 23, expect 194,000 inducted first year, most non veterans. It would hold the air forces to 66, and abandon universal military training in favor of a non universal plan. Local boards would handle both trainees and draftees, with a War era selective service basis. If approved, trainees and drafters could be on duty 60 days after passage. Rep. Andrews urged against universal training and proposed terminating draft in two years with universal training to start 90 days after.
