DRAFT EXPANSION
KILLED BY SENATE
VOTE OF 49 TO 25
Fall Amendment Making the
Limits 20 to 40 Years Is
Beaten Two to One
WaHhtnKton, D. C„ June 29.—The
i-i-nate late yesterday rejected, by a
vote of 49 to 25 the Fall amendment
to the $12,000,000,000 Army appropria
tion bill extending draft ages to 20
und 10 years, respectively.
Preliminary to disposition of the
Fall amendment, the Senate voted
down, 41 to 33, an amendment by
Senator Hardwlck, of Georgia, to
make the minimum age limit 21
years, as at present, instead of 20 as
]>roposed by Senator Fall. A proposal
by Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts,
to make the maximum age 35 years
instead of 40, proposed in the Fall
amendment, was rejected on a viva
voce vote.
Cannot Kqulp HUKC Army
Speaking in support of the Fall
amendment, Senator Cummins, of
Jowa, said it was unexplainaole why
War Department officials should of
fer any opposition to the proposal.
Delay, he declared, means that men
are being sent in the Army who
.-hould not go.
Senator McOumber. of North Da
kota. advocated extending the draft
so as to Include, all men between 18
and 45 years of age, and declared
for an Army of 5,000,000 immedi
ately.
Chairman Chamberlain, of the Mili
tary Committee, said emphatically
that the lattef proposal was imprac
ticable.
"We're not able now to clothe, arm.
train and otherwise equip 5,000,000
men," said Mr. Chamberlain. He ex
plained that, although favoring per
sonally immediate extension of the
draft ages, he was accepting the
statements of Secretary Baker and
<ieneral March, chief of staff, that it
was desirable to postpone legislation
because of problems of housing,
training, arming, clothing and trans
portation.
