Senate Approves Draft Extension
The Senate passed a draft extension bill extending the act to May 15, 1947, allowing 8 and 19-year-olds to be drafted again and boosting enlisted pay. Final passage was 69 to 8, while a separate measure failed to halt inductions and favored a pay rise for privates. The bill faces House action and potential July 1 deadline: a compromise may drop 18-year-olds.
