Dope Peddlers Hit Harder Penalties Under New Maryland Law

University of Maryland bond authority and other campus funding moves drew Senate debate as Hoff failed to overturn a prior committee stance. Detroit upset Oklahoma A and M 62-52 in the NCAA, with Detroit denying star scorers Gale MacArthur and Don Johnson.

Voting on 18 Year Old Draft Moves Forward In Senate
In Washington on March 5 the Senate rejected Morse's plan to bar drafting anyone under 18% years old and approved extending draftee service from 21 to 24 months. Taft and Johnson clashed over 18 year olds, while military leaders pushed to lower the age to 18 with no restrictions. The debate, amid letters from back home, underscored a high stakes push to shape U.S. manpower in a time of emergency, with the 18-year-old draft now likely to be voted on midweek. The Grange joined farm groups opposing 18-year-olds in the draft, citing food production needs.
