Congress Hears Of Need for Draftees
Defense officials told the Senate preparedness committee that 18-year-olds must be drafted to avoid near bottom manpower. Under the 19 through 25 draft, the services aim to reach 3,200,000 by June 30 but will have few reserves and must replace Korean casualties. The result is a reserve pool of about 100,000 draftable men next year, described as nearly the bottom of the barrel.
