New Tougher Draft Signed By Truman Plan Aims At 18-Year-Old Call
The new law sets a standby draft with future Congress approval, calling men at 18 for six months of military training under a five man National Security Training Commission. It extends old draft rules to July 1 1955 with no termination date for UMT. A 5,000,000 manpower ceiling governs all services, eight year total service, and four months basic training before land duty. Conscientious objectors face essential civilian service, and enlistments are encouraged for 24 months to bolster Army recruiting.
