Senate Extends Draft Law to July 1
The Senate unanimously approved extending Selective Service until July 1 by adopting a joint resolution after pausing the $3.75 billion British loan bill. The extension preserves President Truman’s authority under the Smith Connally act to seize struck coal mines and would keep the draft law in effect through mid July ifHouse approval follows. Senate leaders noted the move ties to future labor legislation and loan questions.
