Pentagon ends draft loophole by lowering Guard enlistment priority
The Pentagon, in a directive signed by Deputy Secretary Packard, ordered 19-year-olds on Guard or Reserve waiting lists to receive the lowest enlistment priority. Qualified men 20 plus, women, and 17 18-year-olds will be enlisted regardless of lists, reducing draft exposure as Vietnam era calls fall. The Guard waiting list has shrunk from over 100,000 to about 14,000.

Army to discharge troopers under new policy
Army officials briefed a subcommittee on a reform move tied to the shift to an all volunteer force. A new rule would discharge soldiers who fail to be promoted within set service milestones, with old policies quietly adopted to curb poor performance by draftees. Former General Bruce Clarke urged broader discharges and greater selectivity, citing costs and misconduct by troops in Europe as justification.

Uniform phosphate rule urged by major detergent maker
Washington reports that Lever Brothers Co. urged Congress to set uniform nationwide limits on phosphate content in laundry products. The firm says a federal limit would prevent state and local laws from restricting phosphate detergents and cites implications for consumer access by 1978 while awaiting backing from Proctor & Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive.
