New Selective Service Act Sets New Draft Rules
The Nation Today reports Congress passed the Selective Service Act details to be signed by President Truman, extending the draft system with registration at 18, eligibility for 31 months service up to 26, and exemptions. It notes voluntary enlistments reduce drafting and outlines deferments for ministers, students, physical and moral unfitness, aliens, elected officials, surviving sons, conscientious objectors, and veterans among others. The act allows the President to call National Guard members into active service if needed and preserves ROTC deferment policies with appeals to state boards and a three-member final appeal board appointed by the President.
