Johnson Raps Father Draft Figures In Senate
Senator Johnson of Colorado said he had authentic figures showing more than 1,500,600 men in the army with over a year of service, enough to preclude a father draft. He cited 800,000 with two years, 3000 with three, and 190,000 with over five years, arguing large manpower exists to meet needs. Senator Hill of Alabama questioned the totals but agreed even if correct, many would be in supporting roles and the plan still aims for 7,790,000 by year end.
