Little Change Seen in Draft Issue
A two year draft extension heads for a House vote with little revision likely. Opponents plan floor efforts to free draftees from Indochina and give Congress a chance to halt the draft next year if the war continues. Amendments to restore deferments for divinity students and others may be the only gains. The House Armed Services Committee tripled the pay incentive for volunteers from 987 million to 2.7 billion, blunting opposition. The bill would abolish student deferments and extend nonmilitary service to three years. If approved, it moves to the Senate where fate is uncertain.
