Senate Backs 15 Day Draft Extension Amid Race Clause Fight
The Senate approved a 15 day extension of the draft act with a party line vote on a race segregation amendment. A group of Republicans and northern Democrats defeated the proposal 42 to 29 with 16 Democrats joining 26 Republicans in rejection and 25 Democrats with four GOP senators voting to keep the measure. The amendment, sponsored by Senator Russell sought to allow future draftees to request service with people of their own race. The move clears the way for a final decision on the renewal.

The paper appears linked to May 1945 talks with Mark Gayn and suggests Stilwell and Hurley in China. Service defended his loyalty as public testimony before the Senate subcommittee proceeded.
