Extension OF
Draft Coming

Washington, Mar. Up ms -
Army, Navy and Selective Service
representatives were called into a
House Military Committee meeting
on the draft extension bill today
amid signs that the legislation
might be approved Immediately
without extended hearings.
Reliable sources on capitol hill
indicated that the May bill contin-
uing the selective training and SER
vice act for the duration" may be
sent to the House without consid-
Grafton of controversial amend
ments.
Today's meeting was scheduled
as a closed door session with Selec-
tive Service Chief Lewis B. Hersh-
ey as the first witness.
The draft act, enacted in 1910
and since amended. expires May
15-just a little more than seven
weeks hence.
Administration leaders were un-
derstood to fear that opening the
bill to committee amendment and
public hearings would bring it
dangerously close to the expiration
date.
