It is less drastic than the draft in many features.

Generally, the scheme provides that young men will register at 18, go into training six months later as called up by the draft boards. Training will last six months, with membership in the trained reserve for seven-and-a-half- years. Needs of the three services are allocated. The Army will get half of the conscripts. The Air Force gets 22 per cent, the Navy 238 per cent and the Marines 5 per cent. All men in service will be paid $30 a’month cash, furn- ished clothes and $10,000 life insurance for a 9-month period. There will accrue no veterans’ benefits.
