Senate and House
Appear al Odds on
Draft Holiday Plan
BY the Associated Presx

A draft holiday got an ener-
getic buildup on the House side
of the Capitol today, but initial
Senate sentiment seemed to IA
vor continuing selective service
without any such experiment..
Both Senate and House Military
Affairs Committees were striving to
reach decisions today, if possible, on
what recommendations to make
about extending the draft law, now
due to expire May Is. The political
considerations of an election year
made the decisions touchy ones.
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont was optimistic that the
Senate group would approve his
proposal for a straightway one-year
extension with the service of induc-
tees limited to 10 months. This is
the program the armed forces have
been urging.
Across the Capitol. however, in
fluential House Military Affairs
Committee members reported that
the War Department was willing to
agree to four or six months ban on
lnductlonS of new eigibles after May
Is, provided Congress would vote a
ful years extension of Selective
service. The War Department did
not comment.
Leaves Decision to President,
Under this plan, President Tru-
man would be authorized to order
inductlons resumed after the four
or six months moratorium if enlist
ments meanwhile failed to meet
Army manpower needs.
To encourage those enlistments,
Representative Vinson, Democrat, of
Georgia introduced legislation yes
terday for a 100000 recruiting
campaign. This measure carried
provisions for raising the pay of all
enlisted personnel with a 100 per
cent boost for privates. and for a
siX-months ban on draft inductions
while the effectiveness of the cam
paign was being tested.
1t was after this proposal was Of
fered that Representative Spark
man. Democrat, of Alabama indi-
Gated to newsmen he thought the
War Department would be ready to
60 along on such compromise.
Despite such talk on the House
side, there were strong indications
that the Senate military group
would go down the line for the one
year draft extension with 18 months
service.
The better pay angle featured the
approach several Senators took to
the draft extension problem.
