Eisenhower seeks four year draft extension and pay raises
President Eisenhower urged Congress to extend the draft law for four years and to implement selective pay raises for career service members. He also proposed a stronger reserve program with six months of annual training for about 100,000 troops and extended drafting for physicians and dentists. The measures aim to maintain a strong peacetime military posture and deter atomic attack. The package would raise the service payroll by about 6.7 percent, roughly $705 million annually.
