Truman Asks.
.2-Yedr Draft
.BeContinued

WASHINGTON Aug. 27
tINSD = President Truman
recommended to Congress
today that selective service
be continued and that in
ductees should serve for two
years.
The President proposed that
draftees be drawn from the Is
through 25-year age group. He
said that "the situation in the Pa
cific continues to have many ele-
ments of danger"
In identical letters to the chair
men of the Senate and House
military committees. Mr.. Truman
recommended also that voluntary
enlistments into the armed serv.
ices should be made more attrac-
tive.
This should be done, he said,
to reduce the overall number of
draftees who will have to be in.
Quoted into the army in the I'M
mediate postwar period.
NEED 100000
Mr.. Truman pointed out that
Gen. Eisenhower and Gen. Mac.
Arthur estimate that they will
need 100000 troops exclusive Of
service men required for support
in the United States and other
areas.
The President pointed out that
at the present rate of inductions
$4,000 a month-plus an ex.
pected voluntary enlistment total
of 100000 additions to the army
by next July will total 800, 900
nonveterans and volunteers.
"The difference between the
100000 nOnveterans and volun-
teers and IN YER total
strength is required must be
made up by holding additional
numbers Of veterans In the serv-
Ice, the PRESIDENT stated IN his
letter.
ONE OF TWO WAYS
Mr.. Truman warned that any
further reductions in the selective
service replacement program will
only accentuate the number Of
veterans which must be retained
in the service"
In his letter, the President took
the occasion TO emphasize to Con.
gresS the danger" involved in q
too early legal termination Of the
war.
