Draft Halt in 1971 Set At No. 125
Washington AP The selective service system lowers the 1971 draft lottery number to 125, delaying October inductions. Men with numbers 125 and below will receive induction notices, with some entering service in early 1972 due to extended liability for deferments. Authorities also extend reporting notices to 30 days and pause court actions until new draft regulations are issued.
