Race Question Threatens Draft Bill In Senate Debates
The senate was told the armed services will need 1,669,000 new men next year for regular and reserve forces. A proposal to draft ages 19 through 25 for two years and train 18-year-olds as reserves sparked a fight over racial segregation in military units. Senator Russell urged a race based choice amendment, but the committee rejected it 7 to 4, signaling party tension amid Truman's civil rights push.
