Manpower bill moves through House toward week end
Washington expects the manpower bill setting the draft ages at eighteen to forty two to reach the House late today or tomorrow with hopes of fast passage by week’s end. The House military affairs committee heard opposition to the Thomas Wright amendment while Baker’s position on the measure remains uncertain. If the amendment is dropped, supporters believe faster passage is likely despite labor objections. Senate plans to reconvene Thursday could finish the bill by Saturday or Monday. Prohibition supporters may defer the dry measure to push the manpower bill through quickly.
