|4-Year Extension
OF Draft, 81 10 0
By Cecil HoIIond

The House Armed Services
Committee today approved the
administrators request for a
four-year extension Of the draft
by a vote of 80 to 0.
The present draft law will
expire June 80. Defense leaders
said the extension was required
to maintain the armed services
at a planned strength of $780,
600 men during the next four
years.
/ Before final approval, the
committee approved two modi-
flying amendments supported by
Chairman Vinson, Democrat, OF
Georgia.
Would Ease Guard Provision.
One amendment would relieve
young men under 18, who volun-
teer in the National Guard, from
a draft call after they reach
26 if they remain in the Guard
during that time. The present
draft law requires them to re-
main in the Guard until they
are 35.
Another amendment would re-
lieve from the draft men who
have served at least six months
on active duty. except in the
event of an all-out war.
Pentagon spokesmen offered
no objections to the two amend
ments, but indicated they would
have preferred them in a diff
ferent form. Mr.. Vinson sug-
gested they revise their views.
During hearings on the draft
extension, defense leaders said
they expected an average of a.
600 young men a month would
be called into service under the
draft.
Early Approval Seen.
