House Delays Draft Debate on 18-Yearold Draft and Training
Washington March 16 House leaders postponed until after Easter a major debate on a bill to lower the draft age to 18 and create a universal military training program. The House Armed Services Committee approved the measure 32 to 3 after four days of closed-door wrangling. An amendment to allow inductees to choose segregated units passed 21 to 12, requiring commanders to honor such requests if military necessity allows, aligning with President Truman's push against segregation. The Senate had earlier passed a bill to draft 18-year-olds after exhausting the pool of 19 to 25 year olds.
