The House Armed Services Committee, which also is considering the bill, has taken a less enthusiastic view of the politically unpopular measure. But Democratic leaders think the measure will be approved in the House committee, too. The bill, as it reached the Senate Armed Services Committee, was something of a compromise.

The administration had requested a free hand to draft 18-year-olds for 27 months' service as the basis for a universal military service and training bill. The Preparedness Subcommittee wrote a bill which would permit drafting of 18-year-olds but only after all older draft eligibles had been taken. Draftees would serve a minimum of 24 months or 26 months and one week with leave time. BIG 20 INCH GAS MAIN BLOWS UP NEAR OAKDALE PITTSBURGH, Feb- 13.
