The House Armed Services Committee voted 32 to 0 to extend the draft until June 1, 1959, with House action set for Tuesday. Amendments exempt those who have served six months since Sept 16, 1940 after a war or national emergency, and those who join and stay in the National Guard until 26. Chairman Vinson ordered hearings on delaying scientists, as shortages hinder tech leadership amid Cold War pressures. Critics said farm policy gives the Selective Service power over agricultural production.
