Senate backs two year draft extension as pay raise vote fails
In Washington the Senate upheld the Nixon administration two year draft extension by rejecting a proposal to sharply raise military pay. The tally was 42 to 31 with a later 67 to 8 vote against extending four months to 15 more months. Opponents argued higher pay would deter voluntarism while supporters tied raises to attracting volunteers for an all volunteer army.
