Draft Foe Balks on Red Link Hunt
Washington March 24 A supporter of Henry Wallace for President refused to answer directly at hearings on draft and universal military service. Seymour Linfield of New York read a prepared statement opposing DOO 7 draft and universal service, while declaring Wallace would not accept support from groups seeking to limit civil liberties. Linfield, a World War III veteran and associate general counsel of the United Electrical Workers, testified as Congress weighed manpower plans. Senators heard two lawmakers favor limiting peacetime requirements and exempting veterans, with discussions to leave out real World War II veterans and married men from a revived draft while considering age limits. Senate panel rejected a plan to register men up to 45.
