Roosevelt to ask Congress to draft noncombat workers age up to 65
President Roosevelt said he would urge Congress to authorize drafting men up to age 65 for noncombat military service in response to the United Mine Workers leadership, a move interpreted as a likely veto of the anti strike bill. He argued the Selective Service Act lacks authority for such inductions and warned the government could act if mines or plants face shutdowns.
