House Ends Draft Delay With Holiday Curb On Teens
The House taxes the draft holiday by five months and blocks final action until Monday. A roll call vote was avoided as Rep. Cox demanded a reading of the engrossed bill, delaying passage. The measure would have barred inductions May 15 to October 15 while extending the draft to February 15, 1947, and would not yet reach the Senate, which still reviews a committee bill without the same restrictions. The vote tallies reflected tight margins and political maneuvering as Helen Mankin warned the bill had been altered from its original form.
