England Readjusts After Leftward Swing In 1945-51

Bill to Continue Draft Prepared by Vinson
A House Armed Services panel author, Rep. Vinson, introduced a bill to extend the selective service system for three years without giving the government new power to draft. The measure would keep registration and classification, but actual conscription would require separate legislation. The bill follows Truman era requests for a straight extension and faces opposition from the National Council Against Conscription, which attacks militarism in education.
