House Group Keeps Firm On Draft Opposition
The House Military Committee refused to back labor draft bills as Army Navy and Maritime Commission pressed for a conscription law for war plant workers. Navy Secretary Knox War Secretary Stimson and Maritime Chairman Landis backed the stance that national service is not the solution. Representative May Day chairman warned that service legislation cannot reach the floor without his approval. The panel noted existing laws allow selective service to control draft age manpower, and argued the manpower issue is about placing available workers in jobs rather than increasing numbers. The armed services warned of 1,400,000 inductions this year, largely from replant lines, and urged effective use of 4-Fs.
