Factors include higher first year pay, guaranteed European duty, skill training, and strong recruiting campaigns. Draft suspensions and congressional wrangling add context. San Francisco reported 10 percent increase for non veterans and 25 percent for jobless veterans returning to service.

Fed raises discount rate to curb inflation in economy
The Federal Reserve Board hiked the discount rate from 4% to 5% aiming to fight persistent inflation. Chairman Burns urged an incomes policy to restore price stability with full employment, while Nixon resists such proposals. The move drew criticism from Rep. Patman as unnecessary for higher interest rates. The article also notes political reactions and a separate UK anecdote about a gold watch for long service.
