Draft Bill Is
Passed By
Senate 58-31
WASHINGTON, Aug 2». — The
senate Wednesday night, after pro-
longed controversy, passed the peace-
time draft bill, subjecting the nations'
young men to compusory military
training
Vote was 58 to 31. The measure
now goes to the house, which ia al-
ready in dispute over a similar biU,
Th«—senate measure- requires aH
male citizens between ages of 21 and
30 inclusive to register for the draft,
some 12,000,000 in all. All wo.uld be-
come liable to one year of training
at any point in the western hemis-
phere. Congress could hold them in
service for a longer period by declar-
ing an emergency to exist.
In addition, all between 18 and 3S
might volunteer for a one-year
“hitch,” as the army men call it, of
training and service. No more’than
900,000 draftees might be in the serv-
ice for training at one time.
,,.. Before passing the Burks-Wads-
worth bill for compulsory military
training of manpower, the senate
added to it an amendment providing
for the drafting of industrial plants
as well if defense officials deemed
that necessary
This provision was adopted by the
overwhelming vote of 69 to 16 after a
three-hour discussion in which advo-
cates contended it was wrong to eon-
turers ‘‘hold up the government” for
excessive profits on defense contracts.
, To this argument, several senators
replied that the conscription of indus
trial units, with the conscription of
men^ constituted two long steps to-
ward the abandonment of the Ameri-
can economic system and the Ameri-
can form of government. Soon, they
contended, would come conscription
of labor to man plants seised by the
government

The details of these preparations

A schedule has been drawn pp

400.000 men by the end of the year,
400.000 more on April 1, 1941, and
similar half yearly increments until
