Congress Is Urged j
To Extend Draft
For 4 More Years
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 — UP —
Defense Secretary Charles E. Wil-
son urged Congress Tuesday to ex-
tend the draft for lour years as
the only way to meet manpower
needs of the armed forces.
"Experience has shown that we
cannot maintain on a voluntary
basis the total number of military
personnel that are required for the
foreseeable future," he said in a
statement presented to the House
Armed Services committee.
"As a result we must have the
io jiail uii> juijiurecl ad-
ditional personnel on a short term j
basis."
The present draft law expires
July 1. The administration has
asked for a four-year extension.
The Armed Services committee
turned its attention to draft legis-
lation after airing publicly the Pen-
tagon's backstage disagreements
over the administration's proposed
cuts in army manpower. Gen.
Matthew 1$. Hidgway, Army chief
of staff, testified Monday that he
feared the cuts would jeopardize
U.S. security.
Committee Democrats agreed
with Hidgway that the Army should
not be trimmed in the light ol the
Formosa crisis, but were not in
agreement on how, or whether,

Carter L. Burgess, who presented

be drafted in the next four years,
or an average of 14,000 a month.
That would be in addition to
2,100,000 volunteers in the four year
period to maintain the scheduled
force of 2,850,000 men.
