Civil Defense Grows Push for Draft if Volunteers Lag
Federal Civil Defense officers warn a draft may be used to meet growing needs if volunteers fail to supply enough personnel. In Clare County, aircraft spotting posts at Stover's Corners Lake George Temple and Arthur township lack volunteers. Harrison shows partial posts with 20 volunteers for a 130-person job, and Air Force says Clare could need about 150 more for an additional aircraft post. If drafted, county CD director Charles Cooper could lead a 700+ person force for military attack defense or disaster response.
