Bill To Defer Fathers Loses In Senate
Washington May 2014 The Kilday bill to defer fathers pending induction of all other available men in any state was quietly tabled today by the Senate Military Affairs Committee. Unanimously the committee tabled the bill and Chairman Reynolds interpreted the action as dooming the measure sponsored by Rep. Kilday and approved by the House. Selective Service and military officials argued the bill would undermine the draft system and force drafting only single men. Col. Lewis Sanders said the proposal would attempt to set statewide quotas and would be unworkable as a married man might challenge government induction in court.
