Final Action On Draft UMT Bill Due This Week
Washington reports final congressional action likely this week on a draft Universal Military Training bill. The plan would initiate a 18 year old universal service with six months training, extend Selective Service to July 1 1955, and raise the draft age to 18. A National Security Training Commission would oversee induction and training while Congress retains approval over welfare and code rules. Senate and House leadership expect swift enactment.
