Kansas City, Sept. 22--(UP)--
The American Legion wants the United States to step up its war effort by drafting 18 and 19 year old youths immediately and by effecting total mobilization of manpower.
Before the 24th annual National American Legion convention adjourned yesterday, the Legionnaires adopted a strongly worded resolution calling for the immediate drafting of men in the 18 and 19-year-old groups to spare family men and for conscription of the nation's resources.
The resolution also asked for one-year's compulsory military training for all American men before their 22nd birthday as a post-war policy.
The Legion recommended that "in order to render complete service to the country it is necessary that there be enacted a national service law whereby manpower may be assigned and utilized in war production where ever and whenever it is needed, just as assignment is made of manpower to the armed forces."
