Draft Bill Conierees
To Begin Work Facing
Major Split on UNIT
By George Beveridge

A fundamental split over
whether Congress actually should
authorize universal military train
/ ing now will be the biggest stum-
bling block facing House and SEN
ate draft bill conferees this week.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Service Committee said
last night he hoped the meetings
could begin by midweek to iron
out differences In the draft pro-
lposalS.
Mr.. Vinson Is one of seven
named to represent the House.
The others are Representatives
Brooks of Louisiana. Kilday of
Texas and Durham of North Caro-
lima. Democrat; and Representa-
tives Short of Missouri, Arends of
Illinois and Cole of New York,
Republicans. The Senate con-
ferees probably will be named
Tuesday.
Main Battle Due ON UNIT.
The conferees will carry to the
negotiating sessions House and
Senate versions which disagree on
nearly every phase of draft ex-
pansion. But the main battle
just as it did In Capitol FILL de-
bate-will revolve around plans
for a future UNIT program.
This is the situation on the
UNIT controversy:
The House, in face of strong
opposition to any UNIT program,
voted to direct that a Presiden-
TALLY appointed commission draw
up UNIT plan and submit it to
Congress within six months. Then,
within As days, Capitol Hill COM
mittees would act on the plan and
report it to the House and Senate.
Each body. making any changes
it desired. would have to approve
the UNIT program in a new law,
which would require the Presi-
dents signature before any one
could be indicted for training.
Compromises Possible.
But the Senate plan, in effect,
would write UNIT on the statute
books Immediately. It would au-
thorize the same type of commits
sion to draw up a program, which
would go into effect at such time
as the President or Congress de-
cided men younger than 10 should
no longer be drafted for actual
service.
Compromises might come out
of the conferences which would
make both versions of the draft
bill almost unrecognizable, con-
fereeS said.
But as a starter-aside from
UMT-here are major contro-
versies which must be settled:
Whether a strength ceiling
should be imposed on the armed
forces; whether the new draft act
should have a termination date:
whether the draft age should be
cut to 18 or 1874 years: whether
draft service should be increased
to "a or rs months; and whether
thousands of servicemen should
be released in order to attend
college.
