Draft measure may leave draft call to president
Senate leaders today indicated a good chance that any military manpower bill will leave the draft call up to President Truman. Senator Wherry noted support for an amendment to that effect, while Senator Lodge proposed recruiting 50,000 Europeans for overseas service with citizenship after five years. House backing was also strong, but Chairman Gurney said the armed services committee has rejected both ideas and will push for the current plan. The bill seeks 1,802,000 total armed forces and requires 18 through 25 year olds to register, with immediate call for unmarried 19 to 25 non veterans.
