Chanute Guard sees poor net gains despite December recruitment
Chanute National Guard unit reports December recruiting as the best in months with seven or eight new recruits and some reenlistments. Commander Ed Ranzell says losses from January to March will still exceed gains as the drive to boost strength continues amid Vietnam war wind-down and lower draft quotas. A full time recruiter was hired, letters to seniors are planned, and a raft race publicity stunt is slated for February to boost interest.

Protest arrests mark Lincoln Memorial demonstration
More than 80 persons were arrested at a Vietnam veterans antiwar protest near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. The actions followed a split in the Vietnam Veterans Against the War after a 40 hour occupation of the Statue of Liberty ended hours earlier. President Nixon signed into law a welfare bill mandating work or training for many healthy welfare mothers, a move critics say blocks broader welfare reform goals. The bill takes effect July 1.
