Tired Senators Work Overtime On Draft Bill
Weary senators endured a third straight night session in a bid to speed a draft civil rights measure to uncertain House fate. They planned to vote on an amendment to allow enlisted men to serve in segregated units on request and trimmed the selective service law to two years. The bill would also permit 25,000 aliens to serve, with U.S. citizenship after five years. Senate floor managers expect swift action after a ballot decision on race units, while House rules leaders warned against prompt debate. If the bill stalls, a petition signed by 218 members could force action after Congress returns from conventions.
