Defense Secretary George C. Marshall tells the House Armed Services Committee that Korea war depletes trained troops faster than replacements can be trained. He cites General MacArthur needing 15,000 monthly replacements and says a universal military service bill may be required. He urges that 18-year-olds be drafted but not sent to combat before 19. Committee chair Vinson supports the idea, demanding four to six months of U.S. training and ordering by birthday.
