Labor Leaders Confer With Wilson on Youth Service Plan
The plan proposes two years of service for youths aged 18 to 21 with 510,000 in the Regular Army. It envisions a permanent military pole, reserve forces to support cavalry, and universal training for all citizens not exempt, to create a ready mobilization pool. Secretary Baker says hearings will accompany the measure as Congress reviews changes to officer promotions and the National Guard, while the draft remains tied to the Selective Service system.
