SWEAT IT OUT

(Still “Up in Air’ as Draft Stop-Gap Is Signed.

WASHINGTON, May 156 (U, P.) — Teen-age boys today began to sweat out the draft all over again. They already were limp "from anxiety after watching the senate and house bat the draft extension

only to pass it six hours before it expired last night. As finally approved, the bill ex-| empts teen-agers from conscription. But the extension is only until July 1, and congress mean-|

Teen-agers debating whether to plan college, jobs or the military) life, can try to guess whether con-| gress will extend the draft at all beyond July 1. If so, will it exclude 18-year-olds or 19-year-olds, or neither? Volunteer—Or School

Is there a possibility of a slxmonth extension?. If so, any youth could worry over whether the draft would catch him in that period. Will congress vote a one-year extension with a ban on teen-agers? Would the whole law then expire before a given youth reaches his 20th birthday—or would another, extension be likely? Is it better for a boy to vol unteer now and start his military hitch or stay out and gamble against being drafted later? That's for him to decide, but he also has to debate whether congress might let conscription lapse but pass the universal military training ‘plan proposed by President Truman. That's something else again. Nobody Is Satisfied The senate was not satisfled. Neither was President Trumhn when he signed the stop-gap bilt, into law last night. But it was: the strongest measure the house would pass. -It exempts teen-agers and fathers | from the draft. Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey flashed Ee to local draft boards to stop, inductions of youths who have not yet reached their ached. thelr 20h Ha birthday. |
