Support for Draft Bill Delayed Until After War
The American Civil Liberties Union urged postponing peacetime draft legislation until after the war, saying no national defense loss would occur. Ernest Angell of New York testified that postponement reflects the union's view, supported by about 10,000 members, after Alpha Kappa Alpha spokeswoman Mrs. Thomasa Johnson advocated delay. Karl T. Compton of MIT proposed action now to set a military program and show resolve, suggesting a year of military training could influence future generations.
