Bonus Offer Substituted for Military Draft Talk
Ashington May 5 The plan proposed by House Rules Chairman Leo Allen offers a bonus driven recruiting option as a substitute for the Andrews two year draft bill. Recruits would choose two or three year terms with bonuses of 1000 or 1500 dollars and access to educational benefits. The proposal requires a 70 plus Army test score and suggests veterans groups as sponsors. Senate reactions were swift with Senator Gurney arguing against buying security through such incentives.
