Bill To Launch UMT Approved By House Committee
The House Armed Services committee approved by 27 to 7 vote a bill to call all men at age 18 for six months of universal military training. Chairman Carl Vinson said the bill will be called up in the House the week of February 25 and predicted its approval. The measure seeks a bona fide UMT to build a strong reserve while prohibiting a Defense Department plan for immediate 18 months of active duty after training. Trainees would enter the reserves for 74 years and could not be called to active duty without Congress. The start date and methods remain unsettled.
