Draft plan eyed by Gallup poll in 1940 era hearings
The Gallup poll examined principal draft qualifications before the 1940 Selective Service Act. A majority favored drafting men aged 18 to 32 if no other option existed, with alternate conditions tied to exemptions for veterans and specific drafting rules. The administration proposed universal registration from 18 to 44 and induction of 20 to 25 for two years, while UMIT would require 17 to 19-year-olds to register and complete a year of service after turning eighteen.
