Draft age debate delays Burke-Wadsworth bill in Congress
Washington reports the House rejected a plan to broaden the draft age from 21 to 64 and to align brackets with the Senate 21 to 30 range. Roosevelt urged swift action on conscription, defense funding, and taxes, while opponents pressed for delays to seek more recruits. A deferral vote moved the start of conscription 60 days, with a 285 to 155 tally, amid ongoing maneuvering between House and Senate versions.
