Draft extension approved by Armed Services panel
The House Armed Services Committee backed President Kennedy's four year extension of the draft by unanimous vote, 37 to 0. The panel argued that national defense hinges on selective service to meet manpower needs, despite Republican criticism that the draft is costly and inefficient. Curtis urged a stronger recruiting program with better pay, promotions, and benefits.
