Data clash over 18 year old draft age and training terms
Senate hearings on universal military service push to raise induction age to 18 and extend service to 27 months. Mrs. Rosenberg and Secretary Marshall defend reforms while Senator Russell questions cost savings and training figures. Educators push 19 as induction age with selective deferrals and expanded ROTC amid wartime needs. A separate indictment reports a 21 year old charged with murder in Painesville.
