Truman signals draft law potential extension uncertain
President Truman indicated the draft law could be allowed to die by March 31 and warned against extending it now. He cited army estimates of about 20 000 enlistments a month for the next fiscal year and said the force would be reduced to about 1 200,000 by June 20, 1947, with non volunteers discharged. The navy would need roughly 150,000 new recruits to maintain 571 090 through fiscal 194? while volunteering may have been stimulated by conscription and its existence.
