Army Pushes to Retain Draft Law as War Insurance
Washington reports the army prefers keeping the draft law on the books to insure rapid mobilization if a sudden war breaks out. Joint chiefs will consider extending the program, with navy and air force undecided. Lt. Gen. E. H. Brooks says ground forces need ready machinery and notes the draft could be enacted within 90 days if needed. The army is over 20,000 short of the 677,000 ceiling in Truman’s budget.

Nearing a Vote on Natural Gas Bill Flurry in 1938 Debate
Washington lawmakers push toward a vote as controversy over a 1938 natural gas bill heats. Opponents label independents as big oil fronts, while supporters say the bill clarifies confusion from a 1937 Supreme Court ruling and could let the federal commission regulate independent producers for pipeline sales. The independents supply about six percent of national gas reserves with ten wells, and about half of gas piped in five southwestern states in 1957.
