New draft system aims to meet wartime needs
Acting Selective Service chief Robert E. Shuck told a House panel that a new draft system scheduled for next year could meet Pentagon emergency force requirements. He warned the system might bring 100,000 draftees within six days of war and up to 850,000 in six months, as state election records would register young men. Reserve officers would restart 56 state operations, with Montgomery criticizing the elective system as in shambles and questioning efficiency.
