75 YEARS AGO: It was reported that the U.S. House of Representatives passed and sent to the Senate compromise legislation lowering the draft age from 20 to 18 years. The legislation passed after a conference report removed a Senate requirement that teenage draftees be given at least a year of training before being sent into combat. As part of the compromise meeting between the House and Senate, the bill would retain a provision for the deferment of essential farm workers and for exemption from the draft for men who passed their 45th birthday, unless they opt-in for induction.
