Arkansas lawmakers push permissive public defender plan
The House debated a public defender measure with critics fearing mandatory circuit provisions. Rep. Givens urged a permissive amendment while Rep. Honey supported guaranteed counsel for indigents. Meanwhile, votes covered primary dates, ballot rights for the American party, a new Arkansas Museum and Cultural Commission, and a proposed constitutional amendment for four year terms. The Senate approved a one month recess to aid new governor preparation and debated school district personnel policies. House actions included funding for extended legislative session expenses and an inconclusive legal notices appropriation with record wiped.

Sarver backs work program for juvenile offenders
State Correction Commissioner Robert Sarver said he was convinced of the workability of a program that sentences youthful first offenders to one day in prison. He planned a meeting with Cummins Prison Farm staff to discuss the plan. About 100 youths had participated in two years with only one returning to prison. Participants begin early, sharing the same routine as other inmates and enduring a 12 to 14 hour workday.

Lawmakers split on draft abolition and volunteer military
In a key committee vote, 28 to 7 rejected a bill backed by 87 House members to abolish the draft in favor of an all volunteer force with higher pay and incentives totaling 3.1 billion dollars next year. President Nixon seeks to keep the draft but woo volunteers with a 1.5 billion dollar package, aiming to end drafting by mid 1973. The Armed Services Committee plans to enhance Nixon’s plan near 3.1 billion at its next meeting, and Hebert’s conscientious objector proposal for three years of nonmilitary service will be reviewed then. Nixon also seeks authority to end student draft deferments without new legislation, a move already approved 31 to 1, as the nation weighs post Apollo involvement.
