Senate rejects Taft draft limit in Senate vote
The Senate rejected Sen. Robert Taft’s 18 month service limit proposal by a 27 to 5 vote. The move tested administration plans to extend military service for selectees and forecast passage of a two and a half year extension. The House backed a deferment bill for men who reach age 28 by July 1 and allowed discharge requests for those already inducted. Rejection of Taft’s amendment cleared the way for Senate passage of the broader extension measure, expected with a large majority.
