West's Final Defense Line Is Debated
A behind the scenes struggle among Western powers focuses on where to place the last line of defense in Western Europe against Russian aggression. France and the United States favor Brittany, while Britain backs the British Isles. A third position is proposed to allow a compact, deep front capable of withstanding a massed USSR-Asian advance, with Dunkirk to the Isles as a possible counterattack plan though Americans warn against abandoning a foothold in Europe. The debate centers on balancing risk, casualties, and viability of an Allied counteroffensive.

Draft Deferments End as New Law Expands Reach
Washington officials say the draft will affect about 385000 registrants losing deferments under the new law. The measure lowers the draft age to 18 and extends service from 24 to 28 months, eliminating deferments for men with only a wife as a dependent and easing physical and mental standards. Universal Military Training and Service Act also authorizes peacetime training programs and widens the draft for a broader pool.
