UMT vote appears dead as Senate weighs next move
Washington (UP) Glim supporters pressed for Universal Military Training amid a House rejection of the UMT bill. Senate leaders doubted hope for revival, noting a 236 to 162 House vote against it and describing chances as remote. House action included removing the law’s training requirement and then shelving the measure, while a ROTC alternative failed. Representative Charles B. Brownson urged the Armed Services committee to redraw a training plan.
