Swift Draft Bill Compromise Expected by Conferees
Washington reports a swift compromise on a draft bill to empower President Truman to order men into uniform when Congress is out of town. After Senate passage of a draft bill last week, lawmakers foresee a two year extension of Selective Service, but Korea tensions push for stronger draft machinery. The Senate backs three years while the House keeps congressional control. A stopgap 15 day extension now keeps the 1948 act alive until a final agreement.
