The Navy served notice Thursday that it would not change the wording of the "stool pigeon clause" but would urge its broadest possible application
Carl Vinson, Chairman of the House Committee on Armed Services, will not support the three-year extension of the present draft law urged by Defense Secretary Louis Johnson, he disclosed in a recent telegram to the CRIMSON.

The request comes as no surprise. Officials in Washington last summer revealed to the CRIMSON that "the military will certainly ask for an extension . . . despite the facts that the Navy has not used the draft for three years, that the Air Force and the Marine Corps both have long waiting...
He promised that the extension would not be used except "in the event of serious personnel shortages and the failure of other measures of recruiting."
