Dixie Senators Reject GOP Draft Version
Senate Republicans failed to win a compromise on the draft bill amid racial issue tensions. Senator Russell of Georgia led southern Democrats demanding that drafted or enlisted individuals may not serve with members of other races if they object. The GOP proposed letting Army Navy and Air Force secretaries set unit racial status to avoid a row when the bill comes up next week. The draft law currently bars discrimination on race or color in carrying out the draft. Lodge is drafting a compromise measure.
