Draft extension cleared by House panel in military debate
The House Armed Services Committee backed President Kennedy's draft extension for four more years in a unanimous vote. Critics urged a focus on recruiting and pay reforms, while supporters warned that defenses rely on selective service for manpower. In a separate tragedy, 13 year old Ferdinand Strauss II died after being dragged 32 feet under a trolley in Brookline, as rescue efforts and family concerns unfolded.
