Draft duration test signals Senate action on draft extension
Washington March 4 An initial test of senate sentiment shows a draft extension bill due tomorrow. The military committee will pass a bill transferring veterans job rights from selective service to the United States Employment Service. The measure could influence draft extension by removing any doubt that elective service must continue to protect returned servicemen’s prewar jobs. The draft act expires in about two months as the committee begins charting a course in the next ten days. Across the Capitol, one vote in the house military committee may decide universal military training. Supporters and opponents claim a one vote majority based on private surveys among committee members. Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. declined to predict the outcome of his drive to sidetrack legislation in favor of an international ban. The committees plan a showdown after further hearings on the Martin resolution.
