Burke Wadsworth draft bill gains Roosevelt favor
Washington July 30 Senator Sheppard said Roosevelt favors the Burke Wadsworth compulsory military training bill in its present form after talks with the President. The Senate military committee delayed final action and ordered hearings on a plan to authorize training the National Guard and Officers Reserve Corps. A Byrnes May compromise proposal seeks to narrow registration and limit the draft age, with May aiming to reduce costs and possibly raise age limits.
