Congress Delays Action Until After Election
Washington October 27 three major legislative proposals were placed on hold as Congress concentrates on campaigns back home. The measures include lowering the draft age to 18 abolishing state poll taxes in federal elections and mobilizing manpower for an all out war effort. The House delayed action on Senate revisions in the teen draft bill until quorum exists. Senators Connally and Joe key opponents argued the bill could be acted on with a smaller body despite proxies. The manpower proposal remains muddled as Maj Gen Hershey gave little clarity before the Senate Military Committee.
