The Uncertainty of Extending the Selective Service Act1946-06-10unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_047_1_6_47_0024Mrs. John W. Wakefield is concerned about whether teenage boys serving in Japan and elsewhere will be allowed to come home and be discharged from the Army at the end of 18 months of service if the Selective Service Act is extended. The sender of the letter expresses skepticism about government promises and argues for the extension of the draft only if necessary, advocating for a voluntary system instead. The document also mentions efforts to defer boys who want to complete their schooling and expresses a commitment to serving the best interests of the people.
