Draft-UMT Bill Likely To Pass In House Today
The first three days of the course will be devoted to the eye and will include lectures, demonstrations, and movies.
Washington (U.P.) — Opponents mustered a final attack today on a watered-down draft and universal military training (U.M.T.) bill that now seemed sure of house passage
The bill would lower the draft age from 19 to 18\frac{1}{2}, extend the draft term from 21 to 26 months, and keep the draft law alive another three years. It would set up a U.M.T. commission but would commit congress only to consider its recommendations. Another law would have to be passed before U.M.T. could go into effect.
Still ahead of a final vote were a series of proposals to amend or restrict the bill. One amendment, sponsored by Rep. Olin E. Teague, D., Texas, would knock out the lowered draft age, retaining the present 19-vear minimum.
For the second time in two days the house also faced a fight on the bill's provision to give draftees a right to choose service in segregated units. Yesterday, when this provision was considered as part of a substitute bill, the house turned it down. 178 to 126.
Sponsors of the administration bill said they killed all real opposition when the house late yesterday rejected the substitute, which would have extended the draft law without lowering the induction age or setting up any form of U.M.T.
Republicans planned another attempt to write into the bill a ban on troop shipments to Europe. The first time around—also on the substitute bill—they were licked on this, 192 to 168.
