With the Senate in recess, a dozen opposition Senators were en- | listing support for an amendment | by Senator Francis T. Malonev | (D. Conn.) to defer operation of the proposed conscription act until | Jan. 1, 1941. If voluntary one-year! enlistments failed to procure suffi-! cient manpower by that date the: draft bill would become effective. Senator John H. Overton (D.
