Training Bill Hopes Fade in Washington Hearings
After weeks of hearings on universal military training, lawmakers grow pessimistic about a peacetime draft law. Most back four months of training at age 18, while the White House seeks one year. War and Navy departments and the Chamber of Commerce support the plan, but opposition from educators and others persists. Labor and farm groups remain undecided as debates continue. The American Legion shifts to four months, dampening prospects for a yearlong bill. House committee action before next year is unlikely.
