Four Year Extension Of Draft Law Urged In Hearings
Washington UPI reports House Armed Services Committee chair Carl Vinson urged a four year extension to the draft law during opening hearings on the administration proposal. Testimony from Assistant Defense Secretary Charles Finucane preceded debate amid opposition from religious and other groups. The panel signaled quick approval, while critics urged changes including broader conscription of ages 18 to 21 and a possible expiration of the law on June 1. Senate Republican Styles Bridges supported extension if needed for wartime readiness. The plan would run the draft from ages 18 to 26 for five years and extend physician and dentist drafts to July 1, 1963.
