Long Term Security In Draft Plans Washington
Assistant Secretary of Defense Anna Rosenberg described the administrations plan to draft McGolds as creating long term security at low cost. The Defense Department said it would swiftly expand the armed forces and maintain a ready reserve of trained manpower. The universal military service and training plan would extend draft periods to 27 months and draft years would be trained before entering active service. Senate hearings on the measure resumed after a one day recess with testimony from scientific, dental, engineering, and education groups. Senator Hunt urged presenting the case for universal military training to the public and warned opponents that the draft could target younger youths if not carefully justified. House members report heavy mail opposing draft expansion and urged separate consideration of the long term training plan, though Chairman Vinson indicated support for a combined bill.
