Limited selective draft eyed by Congress in Truman request
Congress debated President Truman's draft revival while stressing a narrow scope. Walter G. Andrews proposed a limited selective service for 18 to 21 year olds, with exemptions for students and workers, estimating a need of 39 000 to 400 000. Sam Rayburn called the message challenging. Dewey Short opposed the draft and warned of hysteria amid New Deal critiques. Most Republicans followed Charles Halleck in offering no immediate comment.
