Draft age rise urged and new measures to fill manpower
The House armed services committee ordered the Defense Department to study raising the top draft age from 26 to 40 and to consider alternatives to drafting 1-year-olds. Anna Rosenberg told the panel that non veterans aged 19 to 25 who have married since the Korean War should be drafted, while many favor delaying a 19-year-old draft until other sources are exhausted. Selective Service Director Hershey ordered 30-day post graduation deferments for college seniors, potentially reclassifying those in essential industries, affecting about 30,000 students. Rosenberg said 350,000 to 450,000 18-year-olds could be drafted in the first year if Congress approves.
