Stennis backs narrow draft reform over sweeping change

The Senate Armed Services Committee, led by John Stennis, votes to limit draft reform to the President's lottery plan, delaying broader overhaul. Hearings on deferments, conscientious objector status, classifications, and local boards are set by February 15. The move follows Democratic preference for a single package reform. The John Birch Society, led by Robert Welch, backs Haynsworth for the Supreme Court amid Warren’s retirement.
