Committee Pushes Draft Age Lift to Thirty
The House Armed Services committee urged the defense department to study raising the draft age to 30 while opposing drafting WWII veterans. Chairman Vinson signaled possible 28 or 30 as new age limits and a three year time frame for universal training. Johnson proposed drafting 19 through 25 before 18s and deferring married non veterans. Adler of the New York Times backed the plan, calling it fair and humane to draft 18-year-olds over veterans.
