Draft classification bill reshapes army calls across districts
Washington notes Congress changed draft rules so that quotas depend on eligible class 1 men rather than overall registration. If a city has fewer fit men, fewer draftees come from it, influencing counties like Butte. The proposal to draft those 21 since last June faces delay, with wide regional support and political opposition noted.
