House Action Would Halt Draft In Nebraska
Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henninger Nebraska state selective service director says eliminating 18 and 19 year olds from the draft could halt inductions. Nebraska has drawn all men aged 18 to 25 and must fill quotas with those turning 18. A few limited-service men might be drafted, but numbers would be small. If draft continues through May, some 18-year-olds deferred for education could be inducted, though the size remains uncertain.
